Klobuchar is probably being pushed by the Dem machine behind the scenes because she is from Minnesota - a state Trump nearly won in 2016, and certainly could win in 2020. She’ll probably end up on the ticket as a means to defend Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

The salient point is that the number of total Democrat votes in 2020 exceed those of 2016 by at least 30,000, and Bernie only received slightly less than half of what he got in 2016.
    That suggests:
  1. Dems did not like Hillary (just like Biden) and Sanders' support is strong but small.
  2. Core Dems are highly motiviated to vote against President Trump.

Do Bernie and his wife live the life he would impose on the rest of us?

Now there is a question we all need answered by each and every dem candidate.

I see another ‘heart attack’ in Bernire’s near future via Arkanside.....he won’t be the nominee.

A crazy 78 year old communist, a creepy 38 year old socialist, and a cranky 58 year old socialist.

Sadly he’s the “father figure” most of these kids never had. Most Gen Z and millenials have “father hunger” due to societies easy divorce laws and gov’t subsidized support of single mom-hood.

I honestly thought Klobuchar would be out after NH.

A woke women’s movement gone dark trying to get Klobuchar at least into Vice president contention, would be my guest.

Women may be voting against grandpa, grand ma(Warren), weird great uncle jo and the homo brother in law(like the lady in the Iowa caucus that wanted to change her vote away from Mayor Pete “in the butt” Bob because she didn’t feel “that kind” should be in the white house).

Klobuchar can get in “maybe” as VP, then they can engineer a “25th amendment process” against Bernie or Joe...and voila, first woman president. Trust me I really have seen women work this way.

That’s why the Dems keep pushing this notion about Trump getting the 25 jive treatment; it’s what they potentially plan to do with Bernie or Joe!

They may use him to get possibly elected and into power and then use the 25th amendment against him!

Biden’s weakness is the story. He was the presumed electable candidate and I believe his poor performance will also be reflected in NV and SC which will be the end for him.

Also, Warren was once perceived as another very strong competitive candidate - the results say otherwise.

The Amy resurgence story I believe is short lived. Buttguy will not garner the same support as Bernie moving forward as he basically doesn’t answer questions and stands on nothing, not a good platform.

So that leaves Bernie and the currently unknown potential of mini-Mike. I don’t think buying ads will win elections, you need to be a retail likable interesting personality, kinda like Perot as quirky as he was.

So in the end, it’s either Sanders or it is not, and with his following the later is as problematic as the former.

T. Rustin Noone’s comment bears repeating:

1. The true leftist crazies who embrace Marxism voted for Bernie
2. The truly “woke” crazies voted for Buttboy to earn their LGBTQ street creds
3. In desperation, Klobuchar looked relatively normal to the rank-and-file Democrats and so they voted for her.

I don’t think Klobacgar gets VP because the Dems can’t sell two whites as their ticket and there aren’t any minorities still in the race. I think it will be Kamalalala or Stacey Abrams.

Well, his heroes in the Soviet Politburo were always old unhealthy-looking men, so why should he be any different?

They’re voting for the man from their neighboring state. Emotion overrides reason.

Buttigieg to Bernie: You watch out, Bernie. I’m right on your tail from now on.

Bernie: That’s what I’ve been dreading. Keep your distance.
