The fuckin horse race this would turn into if Biden and Bern announced their VP picks early
Biden/Pete vs Bernie/Warren
I would have zero willpower not to follow every second of that thunderdome

Bernie absolutely has to announce a black VP - HARRIS OR BOOKER - TODAY
Here is what Bernie needs to say:
"I never thought I would be heads up with Biden, so I hadn’t mentioned it out of civility but his son is a crack head and the money he earned doing nothing as a consultant is a bribe and Biden absolutely should be investigated for it.
Also, announcing my VP - Kamala Harris.
Biden did nothing and is trying to ride Obama’s coattails with his white privilege to the white house.
etc "
Bernie has to take the gloves all the way off. It’s now or never.

In the last few days, Bernie has been going after Joe harder than anyone ever except Trump, including Hillary.

Lol, that’s a story alright. The one time that the wise old black men thought that white people might do the right thing is when they voted 92% for the black socialist named Jesse Jackson in 1988 and losing that battle has scarred them for life and made them realize that going forward they needed to go with conservative Ds like Dukakis who was tarred as a pansy socialist anyway and trounced.
Yeah, that makes sense.

Yep, they will keep driving the wedge between the young and Biden to deflate voter turnout. Biden inspires no one.
So they’re basically just going to describe the current sitting POTUS?

Yes, and it will work.

Joe is a legitimately terrible person and politician with a pretty long track record to back that up. The fact he is literally a doddering fool now is just the cherry on top. It’s going to be tough to call Trump out for all of his wrongdoing when Biden is the Dem pick.
Nah, I’m normally with you she nuked Bloomberg’s campaign in the debates and frankly don’t think Bernie has the mean streak necessary to have successfully done it.
This is literally the same convo I had ~50% of the time knocking doors for Pete, just change “commie” to “gay” or “young”. It’s utterly infuriating, isn’t it?
Everyone thinks they’re a fucking pundit trying to read the mind of America.

It also plays differently for Warren to say this stuff than Bernie. Like no way Bernie could make that crack about here’s a man who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians, and no I’m not talking about Trump…

Based off 538 projections right now, states voting on 3/10:
Michigan Sanders 50.4 Biden 48
Washington Sanders 39.7 Biden 25
Missouri Biden 32 Sanders 17.7
Mississippi Biden 21.1 Sanders 10.1
Idaho Sanders 8.2 Biden 7.0
North Dakota Sanders 5.9 Biden 5.0
Democrats Abroad Sanders 5.2 Biden 3.6
Total:
Sanders 132
Biden 141.7
Making matters worse, this is frozen pre-Super Tuesday so everything is going to shift more toward’s Biden once those results go in… AND Bloomberg and Warren are still in these projections for an additional 85.9 delegates between them, with Bloomberg ahead of Warren in every state. So basically, Bernie’s about to get shredded on 3/10. The actual delegate split will probably be something like 198-162, assuming there are no major shifts between now and then. Maybe if Bernie announces Warren as his VP, starts slamming Biden with negative ads, attacks him in ways that get free media, and Joe has a gaffe of some sort, they can run about even.
538 has Biden picking up another 65 delegates on Bernie on 3/17, again pre-ST with Warren and Bloomberg still in, then 24 more on 3/24.
Actually, now that I look at it, it’s possible they put some ST data in then froze it, because they have Biden ahead in like literally every state. So maybe it shifts back toward Bernie a bit once Cali goes in? That’s our only hope in regard to that projection.

IMO, at that time the Dirty D establishment wanted Bloomer to win as Biden was a broke senile old man with no money or power to give them and Bloomer was backing up a Brinks truck for them literally filled w/ billions of dollars.
IMO, the Weekend at Biden’s Plan was improvised after they saw that Bloomer wasn’t going to fly and that black voters were fiercely loyal to Biden.

Sounds like Warren didn’t endorse anyone in her exit speech?
Surprise VP announcement at an upcoming rally one time?
Liz will endorse Biden or become his VP because nothing good ever happens.
