It's looking like Warren may cost Bernie from winning Massachusetts, Maine, and Minnesota. Possibility even Oklahoma as well. It is depressing. #SuperTuesday #SuperTuesdayResults #supertuesday2020 
Biden is getting victories, yet most people favor:
• Medicare for All (kff.org/slideshow/publ…)
• Free College/Cancelation of Debt (thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…)
• #BreakUpBigTech (theverge.com/2020/3/2/21144…)
Yep. 🤦♂️

Dem party elites prevented Henry Wallace from the 1944 VP. Elites didn't want Wallace, despite everyone else wanting him. The elites acted and succeed. Bernie is the same treatment. Read the story 👇

.@eitanhersh and @RachelBitecofer agree: If Bloomberg actually wanted to make a difference, he’d drop out of the race and maybe take some important lessons to heart next time he tried running for office.

Here's @eitanhersh's analysis of what Bloomberg needs too understand before he even thinks about running again. #Bloomberg #SuperTuesday #supertuesday2020 #Primary2020 niskanencenter.org/what-rich-cent…
Here's another great conversation, featuring @eitanhersh and Yuval Levin, on how to make America's institutions stronger, rather than just throwing money or online commentary at our problems. From @MattGrossmann's #ScienceOfPolitics podcast. soundcloud.com/user-735940457…
Doesn’t look good for the @TexasGOP out here, I’m in a respectably long line to vote at 2 PM CT in a majority-minority district in Sugar Land. Bless y’all’s hearts. 😘 #SuperTuesday2020
Whew chile I made it out in 50 minutes. Line was just as long when I left as it was when I got there so I feel for the folk who are gonna show up after 5.... 😬
Here’s more background on how the voting process works in states that hold “open” primaries and don’t tie party affiliation to voter registration. texastribune.org/2020/02/28/tex…
Here’s a story I’ve never shared publicly.
When I was a candidate in 2018, dozens of politicians called me in the days before the election to wish me luck. But on the night of Nov. 6, after the race was called and I knew I’d lost, I heard from only two: @ewarren & @JoeBiden 1/3

They told me to stay in the fight. To persist. And, most meaningfully, that they were proud of me. 2/3
Decency matters.
And the true test of one’s character is not how they treat you when you’re at the top of your game, but how they treat you when you’re at your lowest.
If you’re voting #SuperTuesday2020, remember that.
Because America could use more decency these days. 3/3

It may seem like Joe Biden is set to have surprisingly strong showing on #supertuesday2020, what with these endorsements from Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, & Beto O'Rourke. But this is charade to project strength before media establishment that wants Biden to save them.
Thread.
Thread.
New York Times published a comprehensive report on Biden's campaign infrastructure (or lack thereof) prior to his South Carolina victory. #supertuesday2020 nytimes.com/2020/02/26/us/…
In Alabama, Democratic House minority leader indicated Biden had poor level of engagement with voters. #SuperTuesday
On boards where "influence groups" strategize and organize, trumpists, alt-right, radicals on the right, echoed by Trump himself at the rallies and amplified by the Kremlin-funded trolls on social media encourage people to vote for #Sanders. Why? Thread, #supertuesday2020
The rationale is simple: Sanders is "the weakest candidate" because the rural and mid-America will not vote for a "communist" or "socialist" and Trump will have an easy win. (Debates about Sanders' views distract from the reality of Trump's re-election, irrelevant.) #supertuesday
The US and the world might not survive 4 yrs of Trump as he is going to ruin the environment, judicial system, democracy as we know it. No matter how great are the promises of healthcare for all or free education, we need to face the existing political landscape & stay realistic.
Interesting to compare the hashtag traffic around #supertuesday2020 right now.
It's like Game of Thrones with endorsements.

Pretty close in terms of candidate mentions for the top two.
It's not about who drops out, it's how that affects who stays in.

Word cloud around mentions of Biden.
Main concerns: Bernie, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Trump, endorsement.

Being a Democrat in Nebraska, a state that votes WAY after #SuperTuesday2020: Ever been to a wedding where they went cheap on the food, so they're out of side dishes by the time your table goes to the buffet?

You're half-drunk & starving and when the DJ finally calls your table, you get up there and there's minimal options? That's what it's like being in Nebraska during the Democratic primaries. I get it, we're not immediate family. We don't matter as much, in the scheme of things.
Nebraska is cousin Cheryl's step-son who only got an invite because the Bride handmade 120 bows that she painstakingly put on the envelopes and she wasn't going to let that shit go to waste. But, still. There's got to be a way.
Hey Virginia – it’s #supertuesday2020 Tuesday tomorrow! Here's a quick explainer #VAPolitics #VADems

Tuesday March 3 is "Super" because 14 states, including big guns CA & TX, hold primary elections. (Plus American Samoa has a caucus.) President Trump is going for re-election, so only the Dems are having an election

Reminder: this is a PRIMARY election, where party voters choose candidate for Nov. general election. More accurately, voters choose DELEGATES to national party convention; these dels are the people who actually vote to select the nominee (A messy process to be sure)
