Super Tuesday is just around the corner. Klobuchar and Warren hope to win their home states but unless an incredible and unlikely victory comes their way in states they don't appear to be doing so well in, they have no mathematical chance of winning the Dem nomination so, one has to wonder why they are still in the fight. My own opinion is, both hope to become the nominee's choice for VP.

My belief is that Warren won't bring much to the Sander's ticket but, will do that to the Biden ticket. Klobuchar could be vying for either the Biden or Sanders tickets, not sure about that one. But, Klobuchar has stated too many times that Sander's number's don't add up so, her being chosen is very unlikely. Bloomberg has not bought a single ad post Super Tuesday so, I'm thinking if he doesn't do well, he's out of the fight. He doesn't want to be VP IMHO so, I'm think'n he's out on Wednesday. Warren has a real issue with Bloomberg so, in the off chance she does win enough delegates, I'm predicting she'll pick another minority to be her running mate.

Never was any good at chess so, my guesses could be way out there admittedly.

minimike ain't going nowhere...

There is no set formula of mathematics if (either of ) the convention(s) is brokered...also...really no ironclad rules. they can be changed at the drop of a button.
Convention can pick a brand new person if they want to..and they have before.

In 1880, after the Ohio legislature elected him to the Senate, James Garfield attended the Republican National Convention to nominate Treasury Secretary John Sherman of Ohio for President over James G. Blaine of Maine and Ulysses S. Grant of Ohio. However, when the convention deadlocked, the Wisconsin delegation surprised everyone when it cast 16 votes for Garfield. Eventually, on the 36th ballot, he was nominated as a compromise candidate.
He then went on to win the general election but was assassinated a few months later.

She never stood a chance. She strikes me as a timid little librarian.

There are only two real contenders. After tomorrow it will be Bernie and Biden.

Can we call tomorrow "mardi gran"?

Amy, what you wanna do?
I think no one will vote for you.
Your campaign's a goner, girl you're through.

OK, my previous guess was Klobuchar was vying for VP, I'm betting Biden picks her (assuming he's the nominee).
He's already said he's going to pick a minority. The only thing against her is, she Caucasian. But, it does appear that Biden has a lot of Black and Hispanic votes in his pocket.

Not that I believe Biden is a good candidate but he'll get votes just based on the anti-Trump folks.

Obama is pulling some strings behind the scenes, shoring up Biden support.
Not surprising or anything new either.

I don't see Biden picking Klobuchar. She's a safe pick but doesn't poll high enough or bring enough to his 'team' other than being a female.
It will not be lost on Dem voters than if something happens to Biden, the VP pick would be their candidate if it happened after convention..
Very few think Klobuchar has much of a chance of beating Trump.


Bloomberg has inundated the TV and radio airwaves here in my area.
I would not rule him out yet...nor Sanders.
Most recent polls I've seen show Sanders leading in Tx and Ca.

Yep, it's being reported that Sanders is focusing on CA and TX. He's not stupid, (correction, he's got some good advisers) he knows where the most electoral votes are. But, he still has a lot of the Democratic leadership that are pulling for someone other than Sanders cause they don't believe he's electable. A Sanders/Warren ticket would definitely be a divisive ticket for this country. The really scary thing is, what if they could pull it off and win...…………. I don't think America is gonna react well to Socialism being driven from the WH.
Just remember America, you get the government with the most electoral votes, if you like big government, high taxes, lots of social entitlements, government driven healthcare and open borders, vote Democrat. The Democratic Party has moved so far left, we're gonna have to start addressing each other as Comrade.

But, we still may learn more about how Hunter Biden got that job, what he did and other information that could effect this election.
