The seesaw has been oscillating with increasing force lately. At some point it will jump off the fulcrum.

I doubt it. That's more like what the the media, social or otherwise, would like us to think.

What's that? Calling Dr. Freudian.

That will be Dr. Neal, if you please.

Yesterday was obviously a good day for Biden, winning nine of the fourteen states. If he keeps that up I would expect him to be the Democrat contender but I doubt he will beat Trump.

I don't have a horse in this race but reading this thread helps me to understand US politics a little better.

Can't see either of them backing Bernie if they drop out.

Don't be too sure of that sometimes men and women drop out if given a promise to be int their cabinet.

Remember Hillary has already thrown her hat in the ring for Sanders which could indicate that she is willing to be his running mate (vice president)

Obama has yet to give his blessing to anyone for some reason

Well, I guess the choices boil down to Trump vs Biden now.

The ex-President does not want to risk backing a loser. Now that Biden has a clear field, expect Obama to come out in support.

No way will the DNC allow Bernie to run against Trump

If Sanders should win this partial Dem election(Ballout I think you call it)

If you are right, that DNC will not allow Bernie to run for President..isn't that mocking them who have put their vote on Bernie ?

Easy choice. Biden said he is running for the Senate. You dog faced lying pony soldier!!! Kids like the hair on his legs and sitting on his lap. So there is that.

Guilliani was mayor during and after 911. Bloomberg taking credit for rebuilding after 911 is a stretch.
