This is my third diary on this topic. Each time I said I expected Bernie to stick it out through the debate and the March 17th primaries, and then he would leave the race. There were two reasons: First, he wanted to push Biden more
The corporate mainstream media continued to play favorites even in the one on one debate. CNN's Dana Bash tried to stymie Bernie Sanders' Social Security challenge of Joe Biden's past positions. Bernie would have none of it. Bernie did not let Bash get away with attempted smear
Yesterday I posted this diary, Prediction: Bernie Drops Out After Next Tuesday, in which I argued that Bernie was going to stay in long enough to have his one-on-one debate with Biden, and to have one more primary vote, and after that he would suspend
Bernie Sanders made some very important points in why he is not going to leave the race. He was frank. He already set the parameters for the Sanders/Biden debate. x x YouTube Video
Bit windy out here on my favorite limb. . . but I like it brisk. So here I am again, making a prediction in advance of results — but I think my limb is solidly attached to the tree. I predict that Joe Biden will
Back out on my limb . . . I’m getting used to it by now. I’m in my cups reading the tea leaves, or maybe that should be in the tea leaves and reading my cups (or maybe just cupping a corpse — a toyten
So my official candidate is Vote Blue No Matter Who but I have to give points to Sanders here for this one: x YouTube Video On Wednesday, the Bernie Sanders campaign released three new advertisements aimed at voters in the six states casting their primary
FiveThirtyEight predicts a contested convention, especially if there are no surprises on super-Tuesday. The less-mentioned fear is a repeat of 2016 where Biden wins because of superdelegates on the second ballot and disaffected dems take their ball and stay home.

Nina Turner appeared on stage soon after Bernie Sanders was declared the landslide winner of the Nevada caucus. She made it clear there was a lot of work still to do even with the continual incoming flak. Her speech is well worth listening to because
Received this e-mail just now from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee: x YouTube Video Imagine a revolutionary army following a fearless leader into battle…up a mountain…and falling over a cliff. In last night’s debate, Elizabeth Warren said clearly, “Bernie and I agree on a lot
Full disclosure: My candidate is Elizabeth Warren, for reasons I won’t go into in a Bernie diary because, well, it’s a Bernie diary. But though I prefer Warren as my progressive champion, I’m not among the cohort of Democrats who think Bernie would be a
While canvassing at a Latino Super Market in Las Vegas Nevada, I spoke to a Trump supporter who has cancer and could not afford his meds. It is interesting how people's minds work. Former Trump supporter no more. x x YouTube Video While off-camera, he
American investors woke up Monday morning to see a devastating sell off on Wall Street and other markets around the world. The uncontested view of economic experts is that the sharp decline resulted from growing concerns about the coronavirus (Covid-19) as it continues to spread.
I interviewed author/social activist/filmmaker Naomi Klein at one of the Bernie Sanders field offices in Las Vegas, Nevada. She expressed the reasons why ALL progressives and others should support the campaign. Naomi Klein talks Bernie support x x YouTube Video I have been following the
This week there were a couple of bombshell reports that revealed how alarmed the intelligence community is about Russia's intentions to undermine this year's presidential election. One report disclosed that the Acting Director of National Intelligence, Joe Maguire, a Donald Trump appointee, had briefed Congress
Nina Turner, spokesperson and national co-chair of the Bernie Sanders did not hold back as she dispelled and explained the Bernie Bro trope. Why the Bernie Bro trope? x x YouTube Video I visited the Bernie Sanders headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. The day before
Submitted for your thoughts… I’ve been a Warren supporter for a while now. (I also donated to Amy after NH.) She has smarts, she is feisty, she impresses the hell out of me on several levels. And while I’m not as progressive as she is,
Chest thumpers and embarrassing belligerents are how the followers of Bernie Sanders are being described.  The Michael Bloomberg crowd who I suppose are Bloomers, who find themselves in the unenviable position of defending a billionaire and racist policies, instead of his politics, face off in a
I am ashamed to say, though I never use the term, that I did not recognize this earlier. I had the realization from a comment on another thread in which the individual said their adult children became angry and hurt when they heard this term.
538 gives the polling outfit Data for Progress a B/C rating, but Data for Progress has Bernie Sanders with 35% support with likely caucus goers in NV. Here is a link to the poll.  I know. I know. Polling in NV sucks. Jon Ralston says
