Bernie Sanders Lands Biggest Prize Of Super Tuesday With California Win
The Federalist ^ | 03/03/2020 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 03/03/2020 8:39:00 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has captured the biggest prize of the Super Tuesday primaries with a first-place finish in California, the Associated Press projects.

Sanders’ west coast win comes as a big relief to the New England senator who lost a majority of the Super Tuesday contest states to former Vice President Joe Biden, who swept the southern primaries with big wins in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Biden has also been declared the winner in Minnesota and Massachusetts, two states where Biden had no presence, while Sanders has only been projected to win Utah, Colorado, and his own home state of Vermont in addition to California.

Biden’s extraordinary wins follow a game-changing 72 hours where Biden, who went into South Carolina as a faltering candidate triumphantly emerged with a re-energized campaign after a 28-point blow out joined by a series of high-profile endorsements from former 2020 rivals and prominent Democrats. On the eve of Super Tuesday, Biden landed support from Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and former Texas Congressman Robert Francis O’Rourke. Biden also won endorsements from former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

While Sanders may have captured California in a win of redemption from a poor performance on Tuesday, the size of Sanders’ victory hinges on whether the other candidates will meet the threshold to land delegates to split the 415 delegate spoils in the west coast contest.

No state in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is a winner-take-all contest this year, but candidates must hit 15 percent support statewide to win at-large delegates of 15 percent in congressional districts to score district delegates.

To avoid a contested convention in Milwaukee, the winning candidate must garner 1,991 of the 3,979 delegates in play. More than a third of the total delegates in the race will be decided in the 16 states and territories that voted on Super Tuesday.

Too late to endorse Bernie.

Warren apparently imagined that when Bernie said that in a certain situation a woman wouldn't win, that he said no woman could ever win. And "she persisted." The result? Socialism lost a lot of delegates because of 15%.

If Warren exits, Bernie gets her voters. Then he is back in the driver seat.

The powers that be will make her stay in the race to avoid that, I think.

They’ll make her an offer she won’t refuse.

My guess is Bernie bots will do as the Democrats tell them. They enjoy being beotch slapped. “Please sir, may I have another?”

“Yet a few per- centage points not voting here and there will make a difference in some races.”

Yes. every bit helps. I have just observed that dems stick together better than republicans and there is the “anybody but Trump” factor in this case.

She may have reservations about that...

I agree the DNC took him out. If Biden could avoid any more debates he could lock it but I don’t think he can so it’s Joe’s to lose for now and he could.

Not according to election betting odds by Stossel. Biden just eclipsed Sanders as the front runner.

I have tangled with some of those Bernie bots, and a few Antifa types may do stupid stuff.

I’m sure there are Democrats who would like that but Big Mike is too much of a BLM racist for the national level.

Oh, she could win every Democrat city.

But she still carries the baggage of her wife, err, husband.

People for Biden are mostly older and minority; they don’t go to political meetings.

A lot may depend on what Warren decides to do. Below are recent California results with almost 90% of votes in. I don’t know if this includes absentee or early ballots. Any idea how those will lean? Link includes the Trump vote.
