My easy prediction is that Warren bows out.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

At this time, you don't even know who will get more delegates today, Sanders or Biden. It is clear that Biden will win far more states than anticipated, but the big ones aren't close to being called.

262 delegates Texas
494 delegates California
80 delegates Colorado
23 delegates Vermont

EASTERN TIME ZONE RESULTS SO FAR

Alabama est. 56% in
Biden 53.5%
Bloomberg 24.9%
Sanders 13.9%

North Carolina est. 87% in
Biden 42.8%
Sanders 24.1%
Bloomberg 13.0%

Virginia est. 99% in
Biden 53.3%
Sanders 23.1%
Warren 10.8%

Vermont est. 94% in
Sanders 50.9%
Biden 22.0%
Warren 12.5%

Massachusetts est. 70% in
Biden 33.3%
Sanders 26.7%
Warren 22.1%

Maine est. 65% in
Biden 33.9%
Sanders 32.6%
Warren 17.0%


Biden won/will win more states.

Biden has more delegates locked up.

Right now it is 328 (Biden) to 238 (Sanders) from today's states. Vermont and California were and will be Sanders' big wins. Texas is virtually a tie (Sanders has 1 more delegate right now, but Biden has a higher vote count). Colorado seems like it will be a moderate win for Sanders.

It will be virtually impossible for Sanders to catch up on delegates today.

As of 3 a.m. ET Wednesday, NBC News projects that

Biden gained 367 delegates on Super Tuesday, bringing his delegate total to 420.
Sanders, meanwhile, so far has won 267 delegates and has earned 327.

Since there are 415 delegates in California, isn't it possible that Sanders could make up another 93, putting them at a tie?

Biden sure beat the polls in Texas, Massachusetts, and Minnesota. Maine is still too close to make a call.

Bloomberg is now on a roll to get Trump by winning American Samoa. Reports say he was popular among the law students of the university there and also the endorsements of Afa and Sika.

She may stay in just to help Biden beat Sanders. If she drops out and Bloomberg stays in that would be a huge edge for Sanders. In practicality, if beating Trump is the main goal, all 3 should drop out simultaneously, and announce that Biden is the man to take Trump down. Hearing Sanders excoriate the eventual nominee last night must have the Republicans salivating.

Just a thought..... Sanders is NOT a Democrat.... I wonder how he gets an invite to their nominating convention?

You expect Bloomberg to have an effect?

The Bernie Wing will be interesting to watch. Clearly the two late dropouts were told to do so. It was like dropping from the Daytona 500 when the white flag came out. Though I got a good laugh when I read an article saying "what about the 'early voters?'"

Sanders has lost some states to Biden that he won over Hillary. Warren either despises him enough to continue to siphon off voters from the more socialist voters or she has been told to stay in to do so...or maybe some of both. I am sure the party would like Bloomberg to drop out because he dilutes the more moderate vote, but that is a harder thing to make happen unless he tires of the elections or wants to toss his weight around in another way...he does not have to ask anyone for money. No one can screw with his campaign donations.

More contests in just a week; we'll see how that goes...

Fox is reporting that some aides are saying Bloomberg is considering dropping out. Darn leakers!

I think Biden has a better chance against Trump than Bernie, so this all could be could for the Democrat party.

These states were probably unaffected by Pete and Amy dropping out
Alabama Joe Biden won
Arkansas Joe Biden won
North Carolina Joe Biden won
Tennessee Joe Biden won
Virginia Joe Biden won

California Bernie Sanders won
Colorado Bernie Sanders won
Vermont Bernie Sanders won
Utah Bernie Sanders won

These states were probably changed by Pete and Amy dropping out and endorsing Biden
Massachusetts Joe Biden won
Minnesota Joe Biden won
Oklahoma Joe Biden won
Texas Joe Biden won
Maine 85% reporting 24 delegates available

If everybody drops out, people stop paying attention. As POTUS, Trump always stays in the limelight. Ending the competition at this point may not work to the Democrats advantage
