She is actually skipping her own state primary to do this. Someone is handing her and Buttplug a ton of cash.

Bernie will make the whole DNC self-destruct. I can hardly wait!

They didn't understand the attraction of Trump, and still haven't a clue why their voters are voting for Bernie.

The Dems realize that Biden has the greatest Black votes.
.............
However, Trump is attracting many Black voters.
............
The Dems know that trend has to stop or they lose for sure without a big turnout from Blacks, no matter who their candidate is.
............
Warren and Bloomberg and Sanders can’t deliver them.
............
The Dems are counting on Obama’s endorsement and campaigning for Biden.
...........
Same old Dem plantation politics. The Dems think that Blacks are too ethnically driven to switch loyalty to Trump, who has done more for Blacks than any other President, especially Obama.

Meanwhile tens of thousands early voted for Bernie before Biden regained momentum.

Not really. If Klobuchar wanted to save Joe from Bernie, she should have stayed in and pulled votes away from Bernie in her home state of MN. Now BernMan, who leads in CA, will go heads up with Biden in leftist MN on SuperTuesday.

Klobuchar bailing on the eve of Super Tuesday doesn’t make any sense to me. She wouldn’t have won anything in other states (see SC), but she could have held Bernie down in MN.

Early voting will negate the impact of Amy’s endorsement. Down to three old, grumpy white men and a squaw who speaks with a forked tongue.

Either Biden or Bernie is a dream candidate for Donald Trump.

Warren looks to be losing Massachusetts tomorrow. If she does, she will drop out and that will solidify Sanders.

Biden and Bloomberg will split the rest.

How will the DNC convince Bloomberg to drop out?

It is a last minute effort to help Biden win some states tomorrow that he wouldn’t otherwise. The timing is deliberate.

I don’t think there’s much overlap between Crazy Burney and SlowJoe voters.

I’m surprised this many are quitting between SC and Super Tuesday.

Maybe they realized that Sanders would get a larger percentage of delegates if they all stayed in and split the vote. By keeping it between Sanders and Biden, the delegates would split more evenly, meaning fewer for Sanders.

It could be that the goal is not to get the nomination for Biden, but to back Biden enough to deny Sanders the majority of delegates, and then broker someone else at the convention.

Not saying I'm supporting Bernie. Just looking forward to the Democratic National Communist Committee fighting between a Crazy Socialist (Bernie), the fool Joe Biden and I'll-buy-the-Presidency Mini Mike Bloomberg).

Another backroom deal just a day before Super Tuesday.

You know what the Berniebots will say:

Biden wins the only state the Democrats have zero chance of carrying in the fall and everyone gets on his bandwagon to cheat Bernie.

I am guessing they are paying Warren to stay in. She is splitting the Bernie vote.

The DNC is trying to defeat Bernie by consolidating around Biden. Unfortunately, Biden will self-destruct

See my post #53.

Biden may not be the eventual nominee, just a strategic spoiler for the primary.
