Hi John. I waited to post on SI until after Nevada. I have been trying to explain to people that Bernie has the "people" behind him and was going to "run the table" on super Tuesday.

I expect Bernie to win every state between now and March 4th except South Carolina and MInn and they will be close.

The progressives are intent on getting their "FDR" party back and now have the numbers to do it.

So what the establishment dems do going forward is very important.

If they continue to call Bernie a communist or Nazi, it helps Trump.

<,

Bernie's co chair, Nina Turner, got into a big disagreement with Jason Johnson over his politics and she is black.

I've seen her on tv a good deal, particularly during the 2016 campaign. Not impressed. At all. Struck me as willing to say whatever would fit the momentary need. And with more than a little over the top condemnation of opposing view's. Rather than simply disagree.

As for what's likely to happen, I continue to think that arguments like Klobachar's that a Sanders candidacy would endanger down ballot candidates makes sense. Endangers getting control of the senate.

As I've said here a lot, I think it's mandatory that the Dems win in a landslide, one that trump campaign has difficulty contesting, increases it's majority in the house, and gets a serious majority in the senate.

I'm leaning heavily toward a Bloomberg candidacy, butressed by Stacey Abrams as the vp candidate.
