Just saw that he won't speak tonight. The sooner he drops out the better but it's hard for me to believe.

Biden looks up clearly in Washington. Wow.

41/33 backing out the CNN exits. A lot of dead votes on dropped out candidates because of the vote by mail stuff.

Trump endorsed Tuberville. Don't know why these guys continue to let him humiliate them.

WA State is tied on what's in, but would imagine the later stuff will break toward Biden given how the race has shifted. Looks like it'll end up close-ish either way. Partially an artifact of how they vote there.

All you need to do is check out Tuberville’s campaign to know why. Amateur hour is in full effect with Tuberville where his biggest plan is to fall in line with Trump and set him free to do whatever he desires. That’s a summary of the campaign ad I saw a month ago.

For example, Tommy Tuberville asserts ‘God sent us Donald Trump’ in first statewide radio ad

I’m going to stand with President Donald Trump on building the wall and cracking down on illegal immigration. A vote for me is a vote for Donald Trump. I’m not looking for a career. I’m looking to help save this country with Donald J. Trump. I’m Tommy Tuberville, and I approve this message.


Every time I’ve seen Tuberville I’ve heard him say that line: “A vote for me is a vote for Donald Trump.” That’s the election strategy in a nutshell.

While the world is distracted, Putin proposed extending Russian presidential term limits to keep control over the country until 2036. I really don’t know how to describe it as an extension, because basically the plan is to reset his term in office to 0. Just a Mulligan.

This measure passed in 3 hours after introduction. I love the idea that this is not like Soviet leaders who stayed in power until they were too frail to be on the world stage under the auspice at the Soviet union didn’t have elections, Putin would have to get himself elected.

It will still have to be passed by the good people of Russia. I’m thinking that nobody’s taking odds on that proposition failing.

With 98% of Mississippi in Bernie's sitting at 14.9%. Amazing to me that a candidate is teetering on the delegate threshold in a 2 person race.

Does Bernie really want to get his ass handed to him three weeks in a row?

At some point he needs to decide whether he advances or retards his platform (and personal power) by staying in.

With the debate being a two person affair on Sunday (in an empty hall no less) I think it is Bernie's last best chance. It will be a hard needle to thread, because if he comes off as too "nasty" he will not get votes form Joe. It will be interesting.

Going to be really hard to move the needle. Unfortunately he lost some pretty favorable states for him-- Idaho for example. And three days from now we could have closer to 2000 covid cases and 50 deaths. Seems like the virus will continue to dominate the news.

Most people that watch the debates at this point aren't going to be swayed outside of Biden having a mental breakdown on stage or some medical condition.
