Biden now the front-runner according to Predictit (odds are 50% Biden, 37% Sanders, 7% Bloomberg)

Sanders has been the front-runner on Predictit for some time, at 65% odds of getting the Democratic nomination on February 23, but he is now at 37%, presumably because Biden won South Carolina and got endorsements from Klobuchar and Buttigieg.

I have been focused on posting anti-Sanders stories because I thought he was the front-runner and also the most dangerous potential President, but now anti-Biden stories are also important.

I understand that betting markets will not always get things right. Predictit had Trump at about 33% just before the election. But that 33% was higher than most pundits estimated, and sometimes events with probabilty of 1/3 will happen.

After today Biden will be a distant second, Bloomberg will look and feel foolish and Sanders will start consolidating his support. It will be very difficult and fatally divisive to the Democratic Party to deny him the nomination. Warren will have a sign on her back “Pick me for VP”

I’m sure Bloomberg prefers Biden to Sanders. He may drop out if he thinks that boosts Biden.

They know they have no one that can beat the POTUS so they’re going to toss up a “sacrificial” candidate and try to minimize the down-ticket losses. That means that they need to somehow get Bernie out of the way as they fear, and rightly so, that he’ll also destroy their down-ticket candidates as well just by communist RAT association. PedoJoe is the perfect “sacrificial” candidate for this plan thus the need to rig this for old PedoJoe. Hopefully, it will backfire on em, and the Bernie Bots along with the other communist radicals burn the place to the ground.

Spend some time at Democrat Underground for an out of body experience. Really weird to see all the cheering going on over there for Pro Quo Joe, when you realize what it is they are actually hoping for...an early Dementia stage loud mouthed bully to become their leader(????).

This is going to get interesting to watch...in a car crash sort of way. Can’t wait. Trump must be trembling in absolute horror as he ponders what’s coming.

I am not seeing it either.

Early voting meant many of the Steyer, Butt-man, and Klobo votes are already cast.

Bloomberg and Biden are competing for the same votes, and Bloomberg spent $300M on ads and Biden spent almost nothing.

Maybe they know something we don’t.

In my own words Doesn't matter........Hillary said in an interview while holding Bubba's hand,....Look....My husband and I have worked it out. I know he's a perv but it doesn't matter. He's still running.

And he continued to demean women all through his presidency. It just didn't matter.

The media was silent on the matter..

And they are silent again.
