bluewater's JournalThe Sanders and Biden Families Have Been Cashing In for Years
https://twitter.com/PeterAtlantic/status/1234512028515078144"Joe Biden likes to say he was the poorest man in the Senate. Bernie Sanders rails against the establishment. But family members have benefited from the Democratic front-runners’ political careers for years."
The solution staring us in the face: Vote for Senator Elizabeth Warren.

The Obamacare Lawsuit should be topic #1 at the March 15th debate

Despite all the arguments over health insurance in our Democratic primary debates, no one has addressed the Republicans' push to get the entire ACA thrown out.
I want to hear what the candidates plan to do when the Republican dominated Supreme Court rules that the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, is unconstitutional.
Pete Buttigieg is out. Which candidates will his supporters flow to?
https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/1234263168274268160Pete Buttigieg was a truly transformational candidate as our first openly gay candidate for President.
His successes were groundbreaking and he deserves our respect and gratitude.
David Axelrod: Bernie Sanders has a fundraising machine. This is no small advantage.

That is a lot of money.
Warren campaign manager: we'll take it to convention
https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1234166469354762244"Raised $29M in February"
Nice!
As a Warren supporter, here's hoping that she does well on Super Tuesday!
If she gets significant delegates, her fund raising should go up.
Bernie Sanders has the advantage on Super Tuesday
The Democratic presidential campaign has produced as many questions as answers in the first four contests of the year. On Tuesday, things will begin to change, as the candidates enter what could be the decisive, if not conclusive, month in the battle for their party’s nomination.
What has been a state-by-state battle over the past month will suddenly explode into a nationalized contest on Tuesday, with establishment Democrats worried about the strength of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) but not settled on the strongest alternative.
Former vice president Joe Biden, with his blowout victory Saturday in South Carolina, made a strong case that he should be that person, but Super Tuesday voters will barely have time to digest those results before they, and the candidates, are plunged into the biggest and most important day of the Democratic nominating campaign.
By the time the votes from Tuesday’s contests are counted, and all the delegates allocated, at least two things should become clearer. One is whether Sanders has emerged with an insurmountable lead in the delegate race. The other, if Sanders’s delegate lead is not so big, is whether Biden or someone else might be positioned to overtake him.
Sanders heads toward Super Tuesday’s contests in an enviable position. But given growing resistance to his candidacy among establishment Democrats, he needs a strong performance Tuesday to put a lock on becoming the delegate leader heading to the national convention in Milwaukee in July.
“Bernie is the clear front-runner, but he’s got to get a lead, and a substantial lead, to consolidate his position,” said Tad Devine, who worked for Sanders’s campaign in 2016 and who advised Andrew Yang this year.
Campaign strategists can’t say just how well Sanders will be positioned after Super Tuesday. There are simply too many variables — too many candidates, too much fluidity and too many combinations about possible outcomes. Campaigns have been modeling the states and constantly tweaking internal projections. As one strategist put it: “It’s an insane Rubik’s cube.”

WTF! 538's Delegate Projection still shows Sanders in the lead?
Ok, I don't know what to say about 538 and their wildly gyrating Delegate Projections...
When Sanders won Nevada, getting 66% of the delegates, 538 projected him ahead by 700 delegates!
Now Biden had a superb SC primary getting 77% of the delegates and yet 538 STILL has Sanders projected to get more delegates.
Over 400 hundred more in fact!
Biden 1292
Bloomberg 568
Warren 196
Buttigieg 159
Klobuchar 62

SO, what can we expect after Super Tuesday, another wild gyration in 538's model?
