I'd imagine her policy on regulating technology in the workplace is probably the crappiest part of her entire platform, so it's interesting to me that it helps her in Nevada.

Will it really matter after Pete busts out a chef’s hat and shares his grandmother’s favorite recipe?

Klo’s surge is definitely bad for Pete, but also not great for Sanders. It’s mostly anecdotal, but sounds like a fair chunk of Klo’s votes in NH came from former Warren supporters, who you otherwise would’ve expected to go to Bernie as their second choice.

Yeah. If Biden drops out sooner than expected, it will be very interesting to see where his votes go.

Pete, Klo, Trump.

Biden is very clearly in mental decline. Just like Trump. It's incredible that Bernie is like 110 years old and seemingly all there and coherent. If only he was a sexy AF moderate.

Derivative of an unstressful life of being a 40 year D.C. do nothing who decided to run for president.

I'm really excited for Bernie. Great for the country.

I also really dislike Pete. He's such a do-nothing goober.

Sad for Liz, Amy seems OK I guess.

Pete is for sure an unlikeable slime who’s incredibly fun to dunk on but I’m cheering for him anyway. If I was a D he’d get my vote.

The real question is who will pick up the lion's share of Deval Patrick supporters. That will be quite the game changer.

Pete's the only one I would consider going third party for

it seems like 100% of twitter hates him. does he have a twitter fanbase?

sys · « **Reply #5112 on:** February 12, 2020, 01:18:51 PM »

just for a reality check, i recommend looking in on 538's model. i don't maintain their percentages are extremely precise, but it's good for putting into place the magnitude of how events have impacted the outcome of the race.

for example, before iowa, klobuchar had a less than 1% chance of getting the nomination, and she still does. buttigieg had about a 5% chance of getting the nomination, and he still does. sanders had like a 30%ish chance and it's gone up to 39%. biden was at like 40% and that's now cut in half. and the chance that no one wins the nomination outright has leaped from like 15% or so to 33%.

Pete is basically like Hillary but with policy positions I mostly agree with and way less baggage.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #5114 on:** February 12, 2020, 01:42:15 PM »

I await further clarifications from Bloomie.

I mean, Bernie Sanders, you people are just insane.

Can't wait for the next 80 year old Senator who has been hanging out for 40 years in DC doing nothing to run.

Yeah like a lot of centrist Dems but they're pretty passive aggressive about it

If Hillary were running in today's race she would essentially have those same positions since Bernie and Liz have pushed the entire conversation to the left (and she also had undoing citizen's united as a policy position in 2016)

catastrophe · « **Reply #5123 on:** February 12, 2020, 03:09:08 PM »

Well if Hillary won the nomination this year I’d vote for her, FWIW.
