Joe Biden urges Bernie Sanders and his supporters to get behind him as he crushes socialist in Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri and Idaho and ally says 'shut this primary down' - then pivots to slam Donald Trump over coronavirus

Joe Biden celebrated his crushing victory over Bernie Sanders in Michigan — and in Mississippi, Missouri and Idaho too — by thanking him for running and hinting it was time for him to quit.

“I want to thank Bernie Sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion. We share a common goal and together we’ll defeat Donald Trump — we’ll defeat him together,” Biden said in Philadelphia a little bit before 11 p.m. after his planned rally in Cleveland was canned due to coronavirus fears.

Biden pivoted to a general election argument by hitting President Trump over his handling of the disease. “This is a matter of presidential leadership,” Biden said, adding that he would speak more this week about what the response should have been. He’ll be addressing the issue Thursday in Wilmington. […]

As the results were coming in, Biden received another endorsement from a former 2020 hopeful with Andrew Yang, now a commentator on CNN, making the announcement live on the cable network.

“I have such admiration and respect for Bernie, and what he means to so many Americans. I waited for the democratic process to play out and I believe it has. The math isn’t there,” says Yang whose campaign trademark was MATH hat — Make America Think Harder.

“We should come together as a party starting tonight,” Yang added. …

Everything really hinges on the VP choice. If Joe were to win...then he’d be either removed or asked to step aside in the first month....bringing in the new President. I just can’t see that many independent voters being thrilled with Joe, his positions, or this dementia angle. Some idiot will come up with a campaign slogan....’Be crazy with Joe and vote’. When the debate episode comes up....Trump should decline and say it’s not right to debate a dementia-victim.

> Yea because defending Cuba on national TV usually lifts a candidate :) <

Howard Dean threw away his chance for his party’s nomination with a single screaming misstep. Now Bernie knows how that felt.

Waiting to see him in a debate with PDJT.

Actually, there is some political peril for trump. He needs to pay attention to his tone. The mushy middle will get upset if he goes after plugs too hard.

“Joe-mentia” is accelerating. The Leftist media are giving Plugs the Plagiarist a complete pass on that Alzheimer’s thing and his family’s criminal activities.

The democrat machine used one win in SC as an excuse to force the other candidates to quit the race. That is how they rigged this one, in plain sight. They knew that certain candidates were stealing votes from Biden.

The sad part for them is that Biden is seen by them as their best worst choice. They ran the Bloomberg trial balloon up the pole but that flag didn’t fly. They would have preferred a self funding billionaire to quid pro shoe and his senility. Now they are stuck and but good having to drag Joe through the General.

Soon they will re-discover what they did in 2016. All the media’s horses and all the media’s men, won’t be able to put Joe together again. He has a long Senate record. He doesn’t have the stamina. He is an old kook. Speaking of records, he voted for the Iraq War.

This is a real problem candidate for the President to run against. So much material, where does Trump even start?!?!

Never fear, I am sure our friends in the polling media will soon have Biden up by a gazillion over Trump in every state. Biden’s going to win Texas don’t cha know. And I sincerely hope the democrats believe each and every one of those BS polls.

Right now the Democrats don’t care who they nominate. They dont care about policies or issues right now. They just want to beat Donald Trump. THAT’S IT! Literally that is it. Look at their debates, it was ALL about Trump. They hate him and his supporters with a burning passion. And they just want to win.

So when Bernie was ahead, there was real fear. You saw the panic. So then Clyburn endorsed Biden and all the blacks voted for him. He won SC. And then the party panicked and ran to Biden hoping he can be the savior. And on Super Tuesday, you saw the collective relief in the media and the Democrats.

This is all about Trump. They just want to win. And they will do everything they can to win.

These scandals usually don’t have legs. Especially when they involve Democrats.

Oh, this Scandal has Legs, "Harry Legs" and "Cankles" up to her eyeballs.

It involves Hunter Biden and his father, Joe Biden, and what they did in Ukraine. A trial going on over there right now, and will be used by Trump to force it to have Major Legs

By extension, Trump will open up Russian Collusion, and go after Hillary. The mainstream media will go Nuts after Trump, but Trump can mention the Russian "Skolkovo" (the Russian Project) over and over again and Hillary's involvement in it.

Guiliani's visit there is going to bear fruit, and Trump is going to insist they "Lock Her Up". And when they insist he is crazy, Trump will connect it to Obama and BIDEN, the FBI and FISA ABUSE and Hillary's Dossier.

And Pelosi will wish she had dealt with FISA abuse.

Trump is master of the Skewer and knows exactly when to deploy it.

Poor Biden I feel his Pain.
Poor Hillary, I feel her pain.
Poor DemocRATS, I feel their pain.

Poor DemocRAT Media, I feel their pain.

Democrats only care about who's going to replace the judges on the supreme court.
If biden becomes the sacrificial goat (like mccain was for the republicans)
they won't care, because they are already planning to increase the number of sitting justices on the court when they take back the senate.

Another good reason to GET RID OF 'FISA', the democrat's favorite court with more power and secrecy than the supremes...
fisa is already the new supreme court-get rid of it

Tucker aid last night he believes Bernie does not want to win, in this way he stays pure. I believe bernie is working for the DNC starting after the Hillary loss. He is in charge of rallying his young followers to a frenzy something the rats cant seem to get into thier camp. Loses, keeps his creds as a leader of the undercurrent gets paid handsomely by the DNC, promised a high position in the new administration and convinces as many of his followers to join him in changing the country with joe. Bernie followers got suckered in again by their leader bernie

I really hope that Bernie is PO-ed enough to launch a third-party run. It would totally tear the Democrats apart.

Only way to “beat” Trump is to run to his right and actually be sincere about it.* But that’s out of Democratic Party character, so they have no chance; anyone who goes to the right of what the Democratic Party is gets shredded, which was seen in their response to Bloomberg denouncing the notion of “get(ting) rid of capitalism” in the debates.

*2016 demonstrated that this is impossible for the GOP too.
