Delaney's only just now dropping out?

proving once again hillary staffers are walking losers and infect everything they touch. these people were working Kamala’s campaign and then moved on to warren’s team weeks before her fake accusations against bernie. And look at all the good they’ve done

Hillary was just a bad candidate look at how she performed and other blue states like Minnesota and Maine if Virginia is a toss up so are those states.

Bernie would be the only Dem to lose Virginia cause its the hub of establishment dems

Romney lost virginia by ~3 points.
Bush won there twice. The only two democrats to win virginia in the past 50 years were clinton and obama.Its a battleground state.

I forgot dude was in the race

Just imagine if Sanders did this

I mean if even Hillary was able to win it by 5% and the demographics have continued to shift even more in the Dems favor since 2016 then I'd say it's far from one of the top concerns for Dems rn.

I will say it's interesting that Bernie isn't doing well in hypothetical matchups there right now. Obviously that could change as we get closer to the election and if he's officially chosen as the nominee. But interesting to consider if the new blue suburban voters in Virginia don't like him

The demographics in Virginia have shifted DRASTICALLY in even the last 10 years. Any election pre-2008 there is nowhere near relevant.

An article about how off polls have been for Iowa in the past. Most notable: 2004 Dem primary, Kerry got 17 more points than polls predicted, Edwards got 18 more, Dean got 11 less, and Gephart got 14 less.

The 96 republican primary had the candidates polling at second and third end at 4th and 5th, whole those polling 4th and 5th performed 9 and 14 points better than expected.

So Monday may have some surprises in store

yang cool but bro really should drop out soon, just be bernie's VP

Even so the most recent local elections there JUST saw democrats gain control of the senate and house and even then they only have a 2 and 10 seat majority.
A "blue" state doesn't have such thin margins. Colorado used to be a swing state but now the Republican party there is dead. Virginia is not there yet

Hillary only won Virginia by 5 points despite the VP nominee also being from there by the way

Like i said the democrat base in virginia is in the north DMV metro area. Those are corporate dems not progressives

Bernie will probably pick someone like Nina turner, but I’m not really sure if that would be better than yang

I like gabapentin prescribed for anxiety lol

People have been making hay of Bernie’s comment on George Wallace but I really think it was blown out of proportion. He was clearly not pro segregation just acknowledging Wallace’s political acumen. Some people think it’s a virtue to ignore the appeal of right populism— they did it with Trump in 2015/16 and beyond– and I think that’s a mistake.

only people making hay of it are right wing publications. it didn't gain any traction once the full interview, where he compared wallace to hitler was made available

We’re really debating whether or not to have a fair trial
this country is beyond f***ed

Nina Turner is an opportunist with zero principles

I don’t know much about her, what makes you say that

She just seems like she is always trying to ride whatever wave to get her name out. She only got her senate seat running unopposed, and then got crushed running for Ohio Sec. of State. She started to get more involved in national politics in 2016 and jumped between Hillary, Stein and Bernie.

Absolutely f*** Bloomberg and f*** the DNC

Nate Silver is really smart but also biased. When the polls had Hillary winning Iowa last year he told us repeatedly that Bernie has no shot. Now that Bernie is in the lead “anything can happen.”

I trust the data but I try not to read his commentary because he always has a angle.
