      It's curious that you manage to correctly spell an uncommon word like "illeism" (first time I've ever heard it), but you misspell the much more common "narcissism".

Biden, i'm not sure he still has the fight in him to be President and his support is basically coming because of his association with Obama. I'm not sure that alone will hold up for him in the general.
        I think that it is slowly dawning on them that unless there is a major economic collapse or something similar Trump is going to be re-elected. What they fear is that with Sanders at the top of the ticket that they'll lose the House of Representatives again and thereby end their various neverending fishing expeditions investigations of Trump

          Unfortunately Pete has dropped out today, which means Biden is almost certain to make 15% in Cali.
          Not necessarily. California, like several other states, has a large percentage of their voters already cast their ballots in early voting. This means that there might not be enough Buttigieg and Klobuchar supporters left to switch to Biden to make enough of a difference.

            I think they are even more afraid that Sanders would actually win against Trump.

                  Sanders won California, Colorado, Utah and Vermont. Biden won Texas, Virginia, Alabama, Minnesota, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas. And after spending $500,000,000 Bloomberg won American Samoa although both he and Biden appear to have more than 15% in California so they'll both get a share of that state's delegates.


                  Can you say "brokered convention"?

                    Put simply, the model now puts Sanders in a modestly stronger position across the board. His chances of winning rose in a bunch of states. As always in the wake of a caucus or primary, treat the forecast as a bit of an educated guess until we get more polls — the model will quickly update if new polling differs from what it expects. But the picture here isn’t all that fuzzy — Sanders is the front-runner in a race that remains extremely fluid.

                    It's way too early to say much, but there's one thing we can't say anymore. Bernie is not a fringe candidate.
                    All Bernie needs is a cool bible prophesy and a bible weeping oil, the laying on of hands, and he's a shoo in.

                      No, take my word for it, Bernie is done. Biden will get the required delegates by the convention. More Democrat voters will swing towards Biden now to prevent a brokered convention. And the under 30 crowd did not turn out for Bernie - only one in eight. The delicious news of the night: Warren couldn't even win her state! Couldn't happen to a nicer person!

                        Meanwhile, Trump is doubling, tripling, and even quadrupling his support compared to 4-years ago and blowing past the numbers put up by past incumbent presidential candidates!

                          It is amazing how many people are coming out for an uncontested primary.
