We in a brief pause, before The SC Debate tomorrow, the SC Primary Saturday, and Super Tuesday a week from tomorrow.  So here is a look at the state of the race as of now.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\"0224Bernie\"<\/p>\n

Energized by his landslide victory in the Nevada caucuses, Senator Bernie Sanders turned his focus to President Trump on Sunday while his campaign made plans to try to win the coming South Carolina primary and amass an insurmountable delegate lead on Super Tuesday next week.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sanders plans to be up on the air with commercials in every South Carolina media market this week, and his staff is scrambling to add new rallies to his schedule as they take aim at their next big target: overtaking the front-runner in Saturday\u2019s primary there, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., to all but extinguish his candidacy.<\/p>\n

But attacks on Mr. Sanders began mounting on Sunday, with Mr. Biden criticizing him as disloyal to former President Barack Obama \u2014 a charged message with the predominantly black electorate in South Carolina<\/strong> \u2014 and others describing the Vermont senator as a long shot against Mr. Trump. Mr. Sanders, in turn, used a rally in the Super Tuesday state of Texas to highlight some favorable polling numbers against the president \u2014 and attempt to reassure Democrats about his electability if he wins the nomination\u2026  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Inserted from <NY Times<\/a>><\/font><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t given up on Liz, but Joe\u2019s attacks on Bernie are as disingenuous as are criminal Trump\u2019s* attacks on Joe.  Bernie criticized Obama, but so did I.  Neither of us was disloyal to him at any time.  In addition, whether ANY Democrat beats Trump* is up to us.  It will happen, if and only if we make it happen!<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is the latest delegate count.<\/font><\/p>\n

Bernie Sanders has the best chance of any candidate, at this point.  I think that when Super Tuesday is in the books, we\u2019ll all have a much better idea.<\/font><\/p>\n
