    22% Reporting. Looks like Sanders played a good ground game, taking over 47% of county convention delegates with 40.3% of the popular vote.

    It doesn't have to be news for us to enjoy it. Looks like Comrade Bernie's hammer and sickle are slicing through your 'blue wave'. That's worth celebrating...

    Except that Raygun Ronnie threw the conservative flag into the trash.

    Except that Bernie's Democratic Socialism doesn't even resemble a hammer and sickle.

    Keep repeating that, though, even if it will never be true.

    Lemmings are apt to believe anything if it is repeated enough times.

    MSNBC’s heart is with Bernie Sanders, but its head is with the so called “moderates” like Amy and Pete.

    They know Bernie wouldn’t have a chance against Trump.

    His platform does.

    P.S. I'm not a lemming. I'm spreading the word. An ideology of theft is not compatible with the US Constitution...

    Sort of like how the GOP was going to be "kaput" if Trump got nominated?

    Got it.

    Theoretically, Bloomberg could clean house on super tuesday-I don't see it happening though.

    Bernie’s proposals would more than double the spending by the federal government. And the only way to remotely keep pace with that spending would be to tax many/most Americans at 50%-60%.

    I lived on 40% of my income for 15 years due to child support payments. It sucked, but I got through it. There would be riots in the streets if that was forced on the American people.

    Oh they give progressives full voice and promote their causes, the leftist are the ones having a fit because they don't think Sanders can beat Trump and the rest of the nation does not support their left wing policies let alone Sander's socialist. They had better figure out a way to rehabilitate Bloomberg get everyone else including Biden to drop out and put their efforts into stopping Sanders before their party ceases to exist.

    Warren saying she can "fell the momentum" she didn't even get double digit and I can't imagine any of the Super Tuesday states giving her a win or even a strong showing.

    Depends on whether the DNC delegates dump Bernie at the convention or not. GOP got behind the guy who the voters chose, even though they didn't want him.

    Democrats have the same problem Republicans had in 2016. Too many candidates jumped into the race and dropped out too slowly. Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth. Trump was winning primaries with only 35% of the vote.

    16 Republicans looked a lot like carbon-copies of each other, while Trump stood out. The Democrats this year all look like "establishment" people shaped with the same cookie cutter, except Bernie who stands on his own self-righteousness.

    The GOP may indeed be hurting after Trump leaves and there is a vacuum to replace him. Obama left a vacuum in the Democrat Party, and a Sanders' nomination could suck the party into a galactic black hole.

    Then again...

    Sanders has radical fringe skeletons dangling in closets without doors. He's destined to fail in a general election, perhaps in a 49-state rout.

    It could be an absolute NIGHTMARE for my beautiful Dems...

    At 25% at best, where will the simple liberals and moderates go, a new party?

    She's seems right at home on FOX I love her segments. Leftwing, Democrat voices are welcome on FOX and given and equal footing which is why they attract such a huge audience.

    ✨ ~ Bernie is enjoying his moment in the sun. He just got a congratulations from Trump - with a warning : "Don't let them take it away from you this time..."

    After Bloomberg's awful debate performance, he'd be smart to throw a bunch on money behind Biden's campaign for South Carolina and Super Tuesday. Biden may have dementia and not know where he is most of the time, but Democrats find him warm, cozy, and likable enough to show up and vote for him in the general against Trump.

    Bloomberg is trying to be a "stand out" like Trump or Bernie, but he is standing out in all the wrong ways.

    Nah. Republicans never once had a core ideological schism. You folks are torn between the values of the Founders and the evils of Marxism...
