www.zerohedge.com Biden’s campaign was broke and all but dead until he won South Carolina on Saturday. The revival that unfolded across 14 states last night was built not only on strong support from African Americans but also a consolidation of white, establishment Democrats around the former vice president.
“They don’t call it Super Tuesday for nothing,” Biden declared at a rally in Los Angeles.
The night ended with Biden dominant, including surprise wins in Minnesota and Texas
- Biden wins Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Minnesota, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Maine, & Texas
- Bernie wins Vermont, Colorado, Utah, & California
- Bloomberg wins American Samoa?
The projected delegate count is:
But, as Axios notes, this won’t be over for a long time. Sanders’ enduring appeal to younger voters, Latinos and progressives foreshadows a long fight, especially in the West, but Biden’s wins in states where he hadn’t even competed were the story of the night.
A veteran strategist said of the late but swift rally around Biden: “Bernie terror finally took hold in a big way.”
Despite having nothing to show for his $500 million except American Samoa, Mike Bloomberg wants everyone to know he has no intention of getting elbowed out of the presidential race, even as fellow moderates are dropping out and endorsing Joe Biden.
The Trump campaign puts out a statement:
“The results only increase the likelihood that no candidate will have enough delegates for a first ballot victory at their convention, which only means more chaos! The media is hyperventilating about Joe Biden but everyone should remember that he is just as terrible a candidate right now as he was a few days ago.”
“Even if Bernie is not on November’s ballot, his big government socialist ideas will be because they have become mainstream in today’s Democrat Party. President Trump will wipe the floor with whatever Democrat is unlucky enough to be the nominee.”
