Well, I trust you have already surmised that I am are not Happy with the Super Tuesday primary results.  I have come to the same conclusion about most of you.  I blame Jim Clyburn, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Beto O\u2019Rourke for the size of Biden\u2019s win.  I also blame young Americans who sat out the primaries en masse.  I guess they had something better to do, like playing on social media.  Shame!<\/font><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019ll still be days or weeks before we have the full vote total in California, and it\u2019s still too close to call in Maine, but with Texas now in the win column for Biden, this evening\u2019s top-line takeaway is even clearer: Biden mounted a comeback and won Super Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In total, Biden won nine of the 15 primary contests at stake tonight, pulling off a number of upset victories, including a win in Minnesota (we\u2019d projected Sanders would win there<\/a>), a win in Massachusetts (Sanders again<\/a>), and a win in Texas (that was more of a toss-up going into tonight<\/a>), but basically Biden cleaned up across the board. He performed well in states where he wasn\u2019t even really competing, and he proved he\u2019s more than a regional candidate.<\/p>\n

Sanders, on the other hand, did not have a great evening. He won just three states outright (Colorado, Utah and Vermont) and underperformed expectations. So far, he does seem on track to win delegate-rich California, though we won\u2019t know the exact margin for a while yet.<\/p>\n

Once all the Super Tuesday results are fully counted, 38 percent of delegates will have been awarded in the primary race, but this nomination fight is far from over, and there\u2019s a real question about where it will go from here\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Big Winner was Joe, but the Biggest loser wasn\u2019t Bernie.  It was Billionaire Bloombarf, who spent all those $millions for nothing.  When California delegates are fully allocated, it will pull Bernie closer, but I would be surprised if Joe does not lead when done.<\/font><\/p>\n

Liz Warren\u2019s results were also very disappointing.  At this point, I see no viable way for her to win the nomination.  I think it\u2019s time for her to drop out, as much as I hate to say it.  The biggest irony here, is that either Liz or Bernie would do far more for the Black Community than Joe would.<\/font><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, whoever wins the Democratic nomination, even if it\u2019s Joe, is MY candidate.<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll post another sheet when all the delegates from Pooper Tuesday states are allocated.<\/font><\/p>\n
