    Oh dear, what ever will that political movement queersagainstpete do now?
    What will the alllivesmatterlikePetesaid movement do?
    Throw their support behind Biden. What are you going to do when Bernie is not the nominee or loses the general?

    Start to finally play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild I think.

    And mourn the world for Trump.

    I see a lot of newpapers chasing clicks for the same tired old story they've been regurgitating every four years.

    OMG there's going to be a brokered convention!!!

    Bernie will eventually be forced out because HE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT

    The rest of the party will coalesce around whoever the front runner is

    How will he be forced out? I mean he was accepted into the race?

    Brokered convention only means it goes to 2and ballot.

    The only reason this has not happened in 50 years is this is the 1st election since then to not include superdelegates on the first ballot.

    Yeah I agree.  It won't be brokered, but the SD's will have their vote heard on the second and it will be over at that point.

    Nixon had his Southern Strategy, Democrats have their Southern and Super Delegate Strategy.

    Interesting read on Pete's final days.   Biggest problem was not being able to get that African American vote.
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/inside-final-month-buttigiegs-historic-055046640.html

    Inside the final month of Buttigieg's historic campaign

    An excerpt, rest of the article is linked:

    “You know, he very nearly pulled it off,” said David Axelrod, who served as the senior adviser to former President Barack Obama and was at times an unofficial Buttigieg booster.

    Axelrod cited Iowa's reporting fiasco and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's New Hampshire surge as key factors that limited Buttigieg's rise.

    “If those two things would have been different, we would be having a different conversation now,” he said.

    Questions about Buttigieg's appeal with voters of color loomed over strong finishes in overwhelmingly white Iowa and New Hampshire, however. And as soon as the race shifted into more diverse terrain, Buttigieg's star began to fade.

    In Nevada, he finished in third place behind Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, even as he bested two senators and a billionaire. And by the time the race moved to South Carolina a week later, Buttigieg's weakness with African American voters was painfully exposed.

    He failed to hit double digits in the first-in-the-South contest on Saturday, scoring a distant fourth place in a state in which more than half of Democratic primary voters were not white. Less than two hours after holding what would be his final rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Buttigieg was hunkered on the phone in a hotel near Americus, Georgia, working out the details of ending his campaign, people familiar with the conversation said.

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    No clue. But what the hell, let her enjoy her final 48 hours. She made it further than I thought she would. Though I guess making it to Super Tuesday isn't all that far. But still, A for effort I guess.

    I was being a wiseguy. I'm not sure why she's still in either.

    She must think she has some prayer on Tuesday to place 2nd in some states?  If not, I don't get it...she is just helping the Not-Democrat position better.

    She has to be getting pressure to drop out. The whole consolidate moderates thing. Its gotta hurt all moderates watching her continue to split votes going into tomorrow. Take a deal like Pete (probably) did and go out on top. So what's the upside for her?
