The reality of tomorrow’s Nevada caucus will be in the details of delegate allocation. The meme of “insurmountable delegate lead” could prevail. Meanwhile Trump does a counter-rally in Vegas.
The conventional wisdom seems to be OMG Bernie Is Unstoppable Now!
To be clear, Bernie is in a nice position.
But all that's changed is Bloomberg's weaknesses have been exposed, which may *not* be good for Bernie. (And Warren has gained a bit, which is also not good for him.)
Bread and circuses, circuses. Trump does his usual shtick, because that’s what he thinks his “presidency” is about — spokesmodel appearances to promote ribbon-cutting. Or perhaps Trump is the Don Rickles of Andrew Dice Clays.

I was starting to find the relentlessness of Trump’s mastrubatory white supremacist rallies exhausting. Now, I just find them boring. The same lame material over and over. It’s like watching a mediocre comic in a club who is still doing his HBO special from 17 years ago. https://t.co/knKKQzBS09— Mrs. Betty Bowers (@BettyBowers) February 21, 2020

Trump preemptively pushes conspiracy theories about problems with the Nevada Democratic caucus, which happens tomorrow: “They say they will have a lot of problems and I hate to tell you this. Have you heard? I heard their computers are messed up.” pic.twitter.com/w0OkvKaU8i
Trump begins his Vegas rally by merrily warning of possible technical issues with the Democratic caucus: “You know, they say they're going to have a lot of problems tomorrow.” He then says he hopes there aren't problems. He then mentions his Vegas hotel.
Trump says there is a “distinct possibility” that he'll be president in 2028, when the Olympics are in the US, then says he won't be, then says he won't get his due credit in 2028 even though he's the one who got the Olympics.
Trump is calling up a procession of Miracle on Ice team members, many of whom are wearing his red campaign hats. He then huddles with them, says they just said “four more years,” the says it should be “twelve more years.”
Trump repeats his complaint from yesterday about Parasite winning Best Picture at the Oscars, saying, “The movie was made in South Korea.” He says, “They used to call it Best Foreign Movie. Now, we do it that way. I don't get it.”
Trump claims it's Democratic “disinformation” that Russia is trying to help him get elected again. (This claim comes from the intelligence community: https://t.co/pt6plrtEr7) He says, “That's the only thing they're good at.”
The analysis that Russia has “developed a preference” for Trump was done by intelligence officers who work for the president, not by Democrats in Congress. Republicans got the same briefing on the subject as the Dems did. https://t.co/JNH9ZTCRSahttps://t.co/3RTWLQCw2g
Trump makes fun of Bloomberg, then Warren, then makes fun of Bloomberg for not responding to Warren by bringing up Warren's claim to Native American heritage, like Trump does.
Trump, holding his hand above his eyes as if squinting, lies that he just saw CNN turn its camera off as he criticized CNN. This time, he says the camera operators are good guys but they're yelled at by their superiors to turn the camera off. None of this ever happens.
Trump is telling a multi-sir story about the ratings of The Apprentice, how it was an unexpected hit, how Arnold did bad with it, and how he fired his agent because he said he wanted more money when the show rose in the ratings.
Trump calls up a supporter because he likes his shirt, saying the man looks safe. The shirt says CNN Fake News (and mentions some other media outlets). He also calls up a man dressed as a brick wall.
Trump continued in his riff about Biden struggling to get words out: “Can you imagine if that happened to me? Man, would I be a bad guy. I'd be the meanest man in history.”
Trump is complaining that he lost Nevada in 2016 because workers at his hotel went on strike for higher wages.
Probably not a coincidence that Trump used to complain that wages are “too high,†and doesn’t support raising the federal minimum wage. pic.twitter.com/uN9nxzRoB3
next q: why doesn’t Trump tell Putin to knock it off? is he worried that he needs Russian support for the next election?— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) February 21, 2020

The story is actually simple – Putin played a critical role in Trump's narrow win in 2016, Trump owed him and thus was compromised from day 1.
In a new @GENmag I go through all the ways Trump has served Putin since – it is a truly shocking list. https://t.co/9Z9QNgTJW5
Trump was close to nominating GOP Rep. Chris Stewart as director of national intelligence. But that idea was scrapped when Trump learned of a 2016 video clip in which Stewart said “Donald Trump does not represent Republican ideals, he is our Mussolini.”https://t.co/8fUz6xqjoG
there's a froofy hipster coffee shop in williamsburg called sweatshop & every time i see it i am almost impressed by the thought of how many people it must've gone through who thought it was the cutest lil name
