Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar ended her Democratic presidential campaign on Monday and endorse rival Joe Biden in an effort to unify moderate voters behind the former vice president’s White House bid.
She is flying to Dallas and plans to join Biden at his rally Monday night.

I thought Bernie had a path to a delegate count victory or plurality.
And, Rosa Kleb-uchar takes one for the team.
Given that Bernie honeymooners in Moscow, where are the cries of “Russian Collusion”?
You may be right, but a brokered convention that denies Bernie the nomination will be WORSE for the DNC than if they just manipulated the primary to ensure someone else has the most delegates.
Either way, the Bernie Bros will riot and even more will stay home in November than stayed home in 2016.
Warren staying in, don’t know about pay or encouragement, but I bet she stays in as long as she has a penny of OPM to spend.
Donna Quixote.

One third place finish. The rest 5th or 6th place. No one had to give her money for her to realize that her candidacy wasn't going anywhere, even if she did win Minnesota. Why wait? Just to declare victory in her home state, then drop out?
Valid point. However, they are choosing the best possible path given the current state of the race. The DNC, unlike the pundit class and hardcore base, understands they must have a candidate palatable to middle America and Biden may give them the best opportunity to hold onto the house. He has fewer negatives than the rest of the field in the democrat house swing districts.
I think Bloomberg will stay in through Super Tuesday and his money will buy him some delegates, but the longer Bloomberg stays in the race the more likely it is that Sanders takes it as Bloomberg and Biden are competing for the same voters. Wouldn’t it be something if Bloomberg handed the nomination to Bernie?
All eyes are now on Bloomberg....
It’s the smart thing to do.
Maybe get a position in the groper’s administration if he wins.
Which he won’t.
But it WILL probably keep sanders under 51 percent and thus a brokered convention.
Amy lost it when BLM shut down her campaign. I would bet dollars to donuts that Pete got the same message. Joe has “the black vote.” What dem is going to go out and call them intimidating and crazy.
If I were a Bernie, I would call Joe on it.
My guess is the Bernie Bro’s are going to rub elbows with their Black cousins in Milwaukee. Helter Skelter baby....this is going to be a fun summer to watch.
That's the expectation alright.
The MSM will have no choice but to compare it to the 1968 Democrat convention riots, and Republicans would point out that our side NEVER riots because we offer a more stable, law-abiding leadership.

I hope Bernie beats Biden resoundingly in Minnesota tomorrow!
Yup, Bloomberg will be next to fold. He is betting it all on Super Tuesday, but may not clear the 15% threshold for a delegate. Good riddance.
That would leave Uncle Joe, Fauxcahontas and the Bern. If Uncle Joe wins then most certainly his VP will be a younger woman. If the Bern wins, he’ll go with an African American.
So what happens when Gropin’ Joe get’s a letter to appear in the Ukrane?
Wow.
Minn delegates thrown back into confusion
awwwww....no President Spiderface....what a shame.
Doesn't this make Warren the youngest(70)?
Those with delegates have great power at the convention.
Just saying....
What we are witnessing is triage as the power brokers attempt to stop the Bern. There are only two options against Bernie.... a corrupt career old man with lots of baggage and an old billionaire with lots of money and no charisma.
The nomination of Bernie will likely grant the GOP control of the house and a few senate seats. Most of America has not really examined or contemplated democratic socialism. The X factor is the economy under Trump. If they can tank it the draw of socialism becomes far more attractive as radical change throughout history to socialism has always occurred during periods of economic distress. It is a far more difficult task in a period of prosperity.
It appears that the DNC has decided that Biden is their best hope to hold onto the house. Bernie, who like Bloomberg is not even a democrat, will wreck them and they know it.
clearly buttplug and klobitcher were bought off by DNC or doomberg one of the two - and talk election meddling?? what hypocrites
however, this reeks of real desperation by the corrupt Dem establishment... early voting has already started, over 7M ballots in CA and TX alone... last week 25% of ballots for the WA state primary were already received - all those buttplug and klobitcher votes are wasted.
Have the Me2 freaks announced support for Gropin’ Joe yet?
I think he'll go with Ayanna Pressley
