BYE DON 2020.

[George II]

4. That, and........

[NurseJackie]

40. You rock!

[George II]

66. Bazinga!

[niyad]

41. Always liked that number- the whole movie, actually. I am old enough to remembet

The uproar when Elvis went into the army.

Fun memories if a far more innocent (naive) time.

[George II]

63. I saw that one in the theater. I think every boy (including me) was smitten by Ann Margaret.

[reACTIONary]

88. My memory of Ann Margaret is...

... Russell's Tommy.

[Skittles]

2. yay

[jrthin]

3. Yay!!!!

[Solly Mack]

5. Say "YES" to President Biden in November

[ailsagirl]

32. YES !!!!

[sandensea]

33. Let's make this happen.

[chillfactor]

6. Thank god!!!!!!

Good news after such a bad news week!!!!

[BGBD]

7. DAMN IT!!!!!

I was hoping he would stay a few votes shy so that I could help put him over the top in the WV primary on Tuesday.

[relayerbob]

34. Haha, I was hoping the same for our vote in GA Tuesday

[BGBD]

36. oh well

We can help run up the score.

[relayerbob]

37. Yep

Warmup for the main event in November

[UTUSN]

8. O.K., now we pull out all the stops!

"This term comes from organ-playing, where it means 'bring into play every rank of pipes,' thereby creating the fullest possible sound."

[dweller]

12. OOOMMMPAAAHH !1!

break out the bubbly 😃

✌🏼

[UTUSN]

18. Can you see it from where you are?! Salud!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Talitha]

24. "This term comes from organ-playing"

Thanks, I didn't know that!

[UTUSN]

30. I googled!1

[George II]

72. I remember that from grammar school - 60+ years ago! Stops were used to throttle the volume.

[Hekate]

9. Joe won handily

[PoliticAverse]

10. He won't "officially" be the nominee until the convention votes. n/t

[Wanderlust988]

38. So what are you saying? There's a chance he won't be the nominee?

[niyad]

42. E" nominee. Welcome to DU. Until the convention, he is the "presumptive" nominee, ask was

Secretary Clinton until the convention. THAT is when the nominee is "official". A technicality,perhaps, but that is how it goes. We have to follow the formal process.

[napi21]

81. No. that's when the delegates actually cast the votes. It's the actual votes that wins the

nomination. I'm just wondering what the Dems are going to do about the convention. Last I heard they were trying to do something remotely, but that was several months ago.

[Laelth]

11. Go Joe! k&r n/t

-Laelth

[Green Line]

13. Let's go Joe!

[Initech]

14. Go Joe!!! Time to send Trump packing!!!

[oasis]

15. ImWithJoe

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. Let's go Joe!

[The Magistrate]

28. Among The Most Strange And Incredible Bits Of Film Ever Shot, Ma'am

Amazing.

[WheelWalker]

39. You somewhat understate perhaps.

[panader0]

61. Gotta agree with you on that. I had never seen this before.

[niyad]

43. One truly hopes !

[Gothmog]

17. Yeah

[Wellstone ruled]

19. Now let's get on with the Voting.

Fired up! Ready to go!!

[SergeStorms]

46. And drag along as many people as you can...

to vote as well. We have to hand Trump such a resounding defeat that he won't be able to cry about fixed elections, or not leaving. We have to run that stupid son-of-a-bitch and his entire huckster family out of Washington on a rail. I'll gladly volunteer to help carry the rail.

[Wellstone ruled]

50. Oh yes,as the Blues Brothers said,

we are putting the Phone Banking Band together once again.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

85. Have a freind who

Gets that trump is a real danger but she falls for the old canard that Dems are corrupted too crap.
She is leaning twords Biden, I just have to push her over the edge so to speak. She knows our country is in danger.

[SergeStorms]

93. Just tell her...

to do her own research on those supposed Democratic corruptions. Maybe she'll be surprised at how much of that is pure, unadulterated bullshit. People get a little upset when they're lied to all of the time.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

94. I have been telling her to research

Sent her news links etc.

I think she's intellectually a bit lazy. She ignores my links then when I talk to her what I tell her she has no clue about what I sent her. Than she backpedals
And does not admit she didn't bother to even skim it. She fancies she knows the Constitution she knows it in historical way but not in deep way and not understanding the concept that the construction is a living document .

She thinks using the incompetance removal of a president whos unfit that Nancy Pelosi with a slam of her gavel could make it happen even though republicans will fight or ignore her.. All I can do with a response like that is do a facepalm.
She has no idea how complex reality is.
She has no idea that the republicans don't give a shit about the law or the Constitution,and the Constitution is pretty much silent on remedies for ridding us of tyranny of a minority.

If Nancy had a magic gavel that she could use to force trump out she would have gotten rid of trump ages ago.

[SergeStorms]

95. It's tough to talk to someone like that.

I'd avoid all political conversations with her. Talk about other things. It's not worth the aggravation. I have relatives who are the same way. They're steadfast in their political positions, but offer no proof whatsoever if asked for verification. They "just know it".

[secondwind]

20. Great!!! Open the coffers, we have a nominee!!

[Xolodno]

21. How many primaries are left?

Sorry, bit lazy today to look it up myself.

[smirkymonkey]

22. YESSS!

[lapucelle]

23. Hey Donald...

[IcyPeas]

25. Everybody wants Biden

[Budi]

[R B Garr]

[Olafjoy]

[onetexan]

83. Ditto!!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. GoJoe: Wash our hands of Trump!

KY............. ..........

[GeorgiaPeanut]

47. Great news! What put him over the top?

Until yesterday he was 33 delegates shy?

[ucrdem]

59. Mail-in ballots from Tuesday

CNN says Guam put him over the top, but their primary is today, and AP called it last night.

[Scurrilous]

48. Good news!

[musicblind]

49. Here we go.

Let's make this one count!

[aikoaiko]

51. Congratulations, Joe Biden. I will vote for you for the Presidency.

Trump must be defeated.

[Demsrule86]

75. I never doubted that you would vote for our nominee. I would have vote for any of our nominees

as well. We are Democrats.

[sarcasmo]

52. Kick!

[Cha]

53. OMG.. how did I miss THIS What I've Been Waiting

FOR! Cheers! TY George!

What States pushed Biden Over?! TY!

Link to tweet

[Dirty Socialist]

55. Yay I guess

I wasn’t very enthusiastic about anyone running, but the Republican alternative is pretty horrible. I hope Biden is president for one term, then he can retire.

[brer cat]

56. K&R

[honest.abe]

57. Cheers!!!!!!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

58. He wasn't my first choice, but I support him 100%!

And it's not like Joe is a bad guy! I just wasn't as excited by him compared to others earlier in the campaigns.

How could any sane person want another four years of Trump?! Any NORMAL person would be a refreshing change!

[Tom Rinaldo]

68. +1 n/t

[mcar]

60. Woo! and Hoo!

Go Joe!

[George II]

62. Overnight Guam voted and more absentee ballots came in, the delegate totals are now:

Biden 2000
Bloomberg 36
Buttigieg 20
Gabbard 2
Klobuchar 5
Sanders 1059
Warren 56

[BlueMTexpat]

65. Indeed, I was just about to post the

article from NBC News about the 2000!

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/biden-secures-democratic-presidential-nomination-november-showdown-against-trump-n1226101

[lapucelle]

69. We didn't vote in NY yet.

Biden is going to pick up a whole lot of delegates here.

[George II]

70. Yes, you folks vote in two weeks in the forced "vanity" primary - hopefully the drama....

....around the NYS primary will gain Biden even more delegates than he would have normally gotten.

We're the last to vote - August 11, a full month after all the other primaries, and only days before the Convention.

[hughee99]

64. Did I miss the convention? Congrats to Biden, but I thought this became official at the convention.

nt

[Harker]

67. My choice came in third.

Sort of. Sad that it wasn't a whole lot closer.

Yeah, I'm disappointed but am all go for #1.

#4 still shocking.

[samsingh]

71. Yes!

[warmfeet]

73. Excellent!

I, my family and friends, look forward to voting for him in the upcoming general election.

[Upthevibe]

74. Yea.....

Here we go......

[ismnotwasm]

76. K&R

[pandr32]

77. Go Joe!

[ancianita]

78. Just got the notification from the Biden campaign. All right! Let's get moving!

[Tarheel_Dem]

79. K&R 👏🏾

[LiberalArkie]

80. I did not realize that the convention has already been held.

[BootinUp]

82. Glad we are officially on the way

to semi-sanity again.

[kyburbonkid]

86. He also had very good compition too.

Don't forget, this was not an easy race.

[GeorgiaPeanut]

89. It is a bit disconcerting to me

I see former supporters or Harris, Klobuchar, Warren, Buttigieg, O'Rourke, Booker etc. cheering Joe on. However, there is complete silence from the vocal supporters of the last candidate to drop out.

[George II]

90. I disagree, there hasn't been complete silence, but it isn't what should be expected.

[GeorgiaPeanut]

91. I said complete silence from "the vocal supporters" of said candidate

Not all supporters ...

[spicysista]

92. Geaux Joe, Geaux!!!!

I am so late! Lol! But, this is great!!!!
