Not so fast. His seven paid staffers in America Samoa just secured him a victory there.

Bloomberg wins Jason Momoa

Go Joe! Attack Trump like he’s Anita Hill!

hopefully he locks him up like he committed a minor drug offense

so after all the electability talk, it's just a shrug and tossing Biden out there

Biden is pretty clearly running ahead of this. He's at or above that number in every congressional district.

I mean Biden was always the one who was "electable." Every other moderate was making the case why they were more electable than Joe Biden, and Bernie's argument was why his base would turn out new voters and make him more electable than the old way.

Also, the coronation of Bernie was too early after three states and now the coronation of Biden is also premature. If Bloomberg drops out, I wonder if it would be smarter for Warren to endorse Bernie or stay in and try and pull votes from Joe to run up more delegates as a bargaining chip.

the quotes around electable are telling here, right? it's more about losing on their own terms

Agree with this. Looks like a good night for Biden. But this isn't close to over.

Plus, East Coast bias. Bernie will do well in Colorado and Utah and may clean up in Cali. The problem is Cali has to count millions of mail in ballots.

lol Bloomberg

Biden has massive bounces everywhere. It's much more likely his nomination than anything else at this point.

If the exits are right, Biden is about 10 up in Oklahoma and Bernie is up 5 on Biden in Maine. MA as a clear tossup.

Trump campaign dropped a libel suit on WaPo. It bookends the NYT filing from the other day.

MA is a mess. 3 way race which has to deal the deal for Warren that she can win at home easily.
