What?
That is exactly the point.
You guys claim the fix is in for Biden. That's just complete BS.
Biden will win if, and only if, the people choose him.

You over estimate the moral superiority of your party. The party that brought you the fine, upstanding duo of Bill And Hill's excellent adventure bring you Joe Biden, cause he ain't Bernie. They are imploding cause they are fractured ideologically, and don't even know it or how to fix it. I'm not reveling in it, but it is a sad truth for the party.

They didn't know how to handle Trump taking down Hils, and they don't know what to do with Bern. So, they bought out the other candidates to float a guy that licks people and speaks in tongue. Maybe it's Klingon. Who knows. And now they have the Tejas Midget to deal with as a side show.

I have to try "hard" because you are playing dumb/naive and ignoring what's there to see, plain as day. But I guess that's nothing new, now, is it?
Why out for Super Tuesday? To get Biden more delegates on the biggest single day for delegates in the primaries, that's why. To avoid a brokered convention and put a stick in Bernie's spokes. Duh.

Of course that's the answer............very good.
And now are you going to say that Pete and Amy couldn't do the math you and I can so easily do?
They got out before super Tuesday to help Biden's chances and hurt Sanders'.
It's not that complicated or hard to understand.

You kind of understand the implications.
But I wouldn't really describe it as Trump having "balls", it's more that he was just divisive and validated anger and hatred.
(some mistake that as "having balls")
But Stone and Bannon knew exactly how he needed to market himself, and it played along exactly with his natural scummy tendencies.

Trump was pretty much the polar opposite of a Romney, and to me most of the people Trump trounced didn't have any more appeal than a Romney lite. The rest didn't have much appeal to begin with and Trump still trounced them. The thing is each party generally has a base that will vote for whatever their tribe puts up; the important part is to cater to the rest of the people without alienating the base. Those other people were more likely more turned off by Hiliary ... the Hiliary that Trump forced on them. That would be the shrill, screeching one trying to defend herself ... the witch that nobody wanted a part of. Trump didn't come out all Romney in mom jeans with a smug, pompous, fake "I know better than you" Romney look; he got down in the mud and made Hiliary show herself for what she is - not good for her.

By the electoral college, not the majority.
Deserves not to be forgotten.

Who knows what the result might be if candidates were running their campaigns to get the most votes instead of electoral votes.

You're trying to make a judgement about a statistic that neither candidate was trying for.

Obviously the bat signal has gone out to Democrats to coalesce around Biden but they're picking on the wrong guy, Bernie. He's not the threat. Let the Bernie Bros be for now. They need to convince the Bloomberg voters to come to their side. Those are the voters that'll cut into Biden vote totals.

Are Trump voters scared of Biden?

Keep Bernie away from the election. Not worth the risk.

I guess that's one way of looking at it. Again, what that says to me about Trumpers is anything but complementary.
But that was the Trump strategy from the beginning, appeal to the worst in people.
And....the witch that nobody wanted a part of got millions of more votes.

Bloomberg voters aren’t going to Bernie.

Biden was number two for many Pete supporters. So it isn't really much of an ask now that Pete dropped out.

I see them as at almost opposite ends of the spectrum. Don't see how a Pete supporter could jump on the Biden bandwagon.
