If the rumors come out of NV are true

[cherryinpa]

Then it’s time for every Biden supporter to join Mayor Pete.

Sorry, but we don’t have the luxury of time.

If Pete is only solid moderate bet then we need to take it now, yes we all know some challenges with Pete but let’s handle them later. One bridge at a time, first need to avoid the meteorite that’s heading toward us.

[Frasier Balzov]

1. I've been saying Amy-Pete.

Maybe it's Pete-Amy.

There must be some ancient matchmaker gene in my DNA.

[totodeinhere]

4. Not gonna happen. They don't like each other. n/t

[Frasier Balzov]

22. They just see each other vying for the same lane.

The under-80yo sensible midwestern moderate lane.

They really should be BFFs.

[cherryinpa]

5. Until today I thought

Biden would handle it and make a come back. But if what they’re saying is true then so be it, game over. If Amy / Pete can do it fine, but let’s take the call and move on to the final battle.

[Frasier Balzov]

16. The early partial results at HuffPost

are showing Biden second after Sanders.

Then Warren.

So not too sure about any supposed Pete euphoria.

[LArider]

43. This

would be perfect.

[TheRickles]

2. Rumors?

What rumors are your referring to, or did you mean early returns?

[cherryinpa]

6. Predictions that Biden came in 5th NT

[hlthe2b]

44. He's a solid Second right now--so much for your inciting "rumours"

[Garrett78]

3. Biden's support among POC so far outweighs Buttigieg's that the latter simply has no path.

Klobuchar has even less of a path.

[democratisphere]

7. WTF rumors are you referring to??

[squirecam]

11. The OP had been trying to get people to quit in multiple threads

It’s not going to happen.

[democratisphere]

35. Nope. OP joined 2/6/20.

Still no answer for rumors.

[nsd]

8. If you're not a troll, let me apologize in advance ...

... but this seems like such a trollish post.

Rumors coming out of Nevada!!! Oh no!!! Like what? What the hell are you talking about?

All the supporters of a former vice president of the United States should abandon him to rally to the former mayor of Indiana's fourth largest city!!! Really? What? Huh?

Again, I apologize if you're not a Russian computer program, but this post just screams TROLL!!!!!!!

[cherryinpa]

12. I've supported Biden

But prognostications that he’s come in 5th.

[nsd]

18. Okay, I'm bored and so I'll play ...

... what rumors? What prognostications are you talking out?

[cwydro]

27. I'm not watching, but a friend of mine is.

She told me Biden was second currently.

So what rumors? Says who?

Link?

[Mike 03]

30. That's correct as of now, with 2% reporting. Here:

NYT Biden is second, but a distant second.

Updated 3m ago
2% reporting
Candidate Total C.C.D.s* Pct.
Bernie Sanders
347 55.6%
Joseph R. Biden Jr.
129 20.7
Tom Steyer
60 9.6
Elizabeth Warren
48 7.7
Pete Buttigieg
32 5.1
Amy Klobuchar
8 1.3

But it's only 2% reporting.

[cwydro]

31. Thanks!

Looks like the OP doesn’t intend to clue us in on the “rumors.”

[emmaverybo]

39. Three percent results in and he is not fifth unless there's been vote tampering. In which case,

I am still not getting behind Pete.

[PatSeg]

21. I'm watching MSNBC

on delay by about 1/2 hour and I'm not see Biden as coming in 5th. Initial preference 2nd place, reallocated preference 2nd place.

[JFlash]

9. What rumors?

I have been away from tv news and internet all day; watching spring training baseball.

[PatSeg]

23. I haven't heard any rumors

So far, I'm seeing Biden in 2nd place.

[relayerbob]

10. I sent letters to 4 of the main candidates

saying they need to sit down and unite behind one of them, or the extremes will prevail and we will lose. CA is very dangerous, if everyone splits the 65%-70% that doesn't go to Sanders, he'll take the lion's share of the delegates. If they unite, he will get a real, proportional number.

Of course, my letter won't matter, but what the hey

[cherryinpa]

15. Yes

Right now The Who doesn’t matter.

The differences within Joe, Amy, Warren and Pete are so slight.

FFS why don’t they just get together behind the scenes and work out a path.

[Sherman A1]

13. Pardon me for a moment

[ecstatic]

14. EW and Biden are our best shots, IMO.

Pete and Amy should stand down ASAP.

[OnDoutside]

29. I wish EW would back peddle on M4A, at least enough not to scare the crap out of people

who have private healthcare. I think if she did that, she could be best placed to allow others coalesce around her.

[emmaverybo]

40. Yes. And I do not see what Steyer is doing in it.

[Sloumeau]

17. The actual real time results from Huffpost.com show Biden in second so far:

[link:https://www.huffpost.com/elections|]

Plus Biden, Bloomberg, and Warren are all polling higher nationally than Pete is:

[link:https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html|]

In addition, Pete has close to zero African American support. Biden's support among African Americans is much higher.

[jmg257]

19. Very early, but he's currently in 2nd. Why? what have you heard?? And BTW, I liked it better when

you wanted Pete to drop out...

Plea to Amy, Pete and Liz!
Please drop out immediately.

You know and we all know that the ONLY viable opposition to Bernie is Biden and he simply cannot succeed with the moderate vote so divided. The members of this party need a viable choice and we cannot allow Bernie to reach nomination without a valid choice. Yes, we must support him if he is nominated but you’ve all seen the shocking events of the last 24 hours.

It’s time to put country before yogurt personal ambitions and let the moderate support coalesce behind Biden and then we have a fair decision,

24. I expected better

From Biden.

Everyone was saying 2nd place at worst plus with the Bernie revelations yesterday there would be an additional bump.

The Who it is I don’t care, we just need the One to focus on.

[jmg257]

26. Well - so far so good.

[squirecam]

28. No they didn't.

NV early vote ended Tuesday.

Neither the debate nor the last 24 hours will have much of an effect.

[Drunken Irishman]

34. Biden is currently out-performing expectations in Nevada.

[zackymilly]

20. Welcome to DU. n/t

[DarthDem]

25. Oh, it's this person again

212 posts and joined February 9. I'm sure there's a good story behind all that, though.

[hlthe2b]

32. I've notice a pattern... n/t

[DarthDem]

42. Ayup

Shifting the elements of the "message" jeeeest a little bit here and there, but the song remains the same.

[virgogal]

33. How long does one have to

be here to be taken seriously?

[cherryinpa]

41. Why not tell me?

What’s the story Mr.3500 posts?

[Codeine]

36. 26F and snowing.

Bundle up!!

[Nanjeanne]

37. Why? Biden is in 2nd.

[IronLionZion]

38. Chill and have a drink

The big Lebowski likes white russians
