Yeah Warren was very impressive from the clips I've seen. Bloomberg just looked totally unprepared. Which is weird, since he's spent so much money on the campaign.

Yeah, I guess that just proves that having a butt ton of money does not mean one is actually prepared for what is involved. Although, I thought the same in 2016 and look what happened...

Warren shoved her foot so far up Bloombergs ass it was amazing. He looked like he wanted to puke. totally. an apt description.

Biden had an easy win in South Carolina. But I think (?) that was always supposed to happen.

Super Tuesday this week is the big day, there will be a fair few dropping out after that (Pete Buttigieg already has after South Carolina). Amy Klobouchar probably should have dropped out but I think that she's hanging around for Super Tuesday because she wants to win her home state of Minnesota. Things should definitely look a bit clearer in a couple of days.

Looks like Klobouchar is gone. She's endorsed Biden, unsurprisingly. Looking forward to Super Tuesday.

The Biden endorsements have come rolling in today (Beto O'Rourke and Susan Rice too). Huge momentum swing to Joe Biden on the eve of Super Tuesday. But with so many states having early voting, we may not see that reflected as strongly as we might have. Will also be interesting to see how Warren does now with Klobuchar and Buttigieg both gone, as some polls have shown that she was the most popular second choice with supporters of them. It may mean that she gets over 15% threshold in a number of states, thus picking up a number of delegates. She'll still be in the distance behind the two frontrunners, but may have enough to try to position herself as the candidate to bring the party together. The Bloomberg factor is also going to be interesting - how much of Biden's vote is he going to take?

Biden doing very well so far. Sanders looks to have taken California, which will be a massive boost for his numbers. Bloomberg doesn't seem to have had much impact at all.

Huge day for Biden. If Bloomberg drops out, I'd expect almost all of his voters to go to Biden so it could be a tough road for Bernie from here.

I think Biden has the best chance of beating Trump, so I'm happy with this. As long as Bernie doesn't do to Biden what he did to Hillary. Democrats need to unite or at least just promote their agenda and not attack each other. Just Trump.

Some of them are just so toxic, they're actually damaging to him.

Amen to the comment about some Bernie supporters. Another similarity with Corbyn. A largish core of his supporters were foul as well, and I'm pretty sure cost him votes. Ranty, aggressive and usually acted like a bunch of first year uni Student Council reps who got into the red cordial.

Thank God Bernie knew when to quit. Tearing Biden down would have been another disaster. I don't mind Sanders but his supporters were as much to blame as the Trump ones for the orange menace we've had for the last 4 years.
Let's hope they aren't bitter like they were against Hillary and at least go to the polls now and vote against the Oompa Loompa.
