Democratic Primaries

(1,089 posts)I'm looking at April 7th as a big day myself. That's the day that Wisconsin votes and if Bernie can't win in progressive WI then forgedaboudit. Even if he does eke out a slim victory that's when we get to 2/3 of the primaries being in the books and the cold hard math may be irrefutable by then.
Plus April is a weird month...after WI there is nothing for 3 full weeks. If Sanders is way behind with no chance then it would be good for him to exit stage left at that time. That gives an extra 3 weeks to start consolidating and turning our full attention to the Gopper goon in the WH...why spend that time throwing bombs at Biden when you've already lost the war?
Bernie fell behind Hillary in 2016 in delegates but he still won a lot of states...like 22. But if he gets to April 7th and we can count the number of states he won on both hands and still have fingers left over then it's "Sayonara, Sanders!".
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
