That lady is a got dang nut job.
Sadly I have people in my life that probably believe the same thing, including that Obama was the Anti-Christ.
She was right GOD BLESS TRUMP HE"S HERE TO STIR AWAY THE DEVIL AMEN MAGA
I've been seeing people ask for that ticket on twitter and I just don't get it, she brings nothing. CA is in the bag, black voters rejected her soundly so what does she bring? He'd be better off going with someone who is more popular instead of just trying to get a woman of color for the sake of it.
I think he should pick Tammy Duckworth. Military angle which Democrats don't exploit but could, could be popular with suburban women, to his left, and seemingly no real baggage.
As for Harris I think he will pick her because he seems to like her. He has gone out of his way to sing her praises and keeps hinting at it. Although it may be just something he does as he kind of did with Pete too.
13% of voters were 18-29. Bernie's revolution depends on a group that doesn't vote.
Meanwhile he is getting smashed in old voters and black voters.

This is the sad reality Bernie supporters have to face. If young people turned out in solid numbers, someone like Bernie could win easily and could ignore the centrist vote. That never seems to happen though.
If you could vote by app... The GOP could finally admit to trying to swipe elections.
Bernie is polling above Biden with Black voters overall and has been for a couple of weeks, we can't only go by southern states where even the Democrats are fairly conservative and again are states which mostly won't go for a Democrat in the general anyway.
Well Virginia is a blue state now so I wouldn't really go that far
Bottom line is he can't get beat by 50-60% in black voters in any state. You absolutely can not have that happen and expect to win the nomination.
Oh I know it's not a good look and it sure as hell doesn't help with racking up delegates but I just don't want people to get the wrong idea about who's polling better among African Americans overall. Bernie was never going to win those southern states in a primary regardless of who was running against him.
Based on these early results you have to throw out the poll numbers. It was a chaotic week and the results point to the race looking like it did 2 months ago. The early states were good Bernie states and they scared off Biden voters in the polls but they seem to have all come home.
And nobody can blame Warren because she is doing real bad. Not even 1 delegate so far. Even Tulsi has 1.
Well if Biden is going to win I hope we get a Biden/Corn Pop ticket.
Curious about the final numbers, but Biden took VA pretty easily. No exit polls at my location, and most others in Richmond, but apparently they were 50% Biden.
That Northern VA vote is no joke.

Looks like record turnouts everywhere. It's obvious caucuses need to be destroyed.
I think the idea that Bernie benefited from caucuses and being Not Hillary in 2016 and not really building on his base now looks pretty true.
The anti-establishment stuff is cute and all but he should have cut some deals and got some of these major endorsements
What a 180 this race took this past week

It's crazy. Biden looked energized last night. How long he can keep that energy remains to be seen.
Now, if Bernie doesn't have a majority of delegates at the end, will he flip flop once again on a brokered convention?
I will say I'm pretty progressive so I would have preferred Sanders or Warren, but I'll vote for a moldy cheese sandwich at this point. I can only hope that Biden can bring out the same people in 2018 that gave the Dems the House, and if Virginia is any indication, it looks like he could.
Saw that the #1 trend on twitter was Bernieorbust2020
