Nina Turner worth a shout for VP

Never heard of her, but I see she is a black woman... Deeply cynical but prob exactly what he needs

Is there a poll out there that asks people who tune into cnn and msnbc daily who they voted for and people who source alternative media and who they voted for.

I’d guess the mainstream media would poll Biden voters in blockbuster numbers.

Trump raised the military budget by 80 million. That alone would pay for free college.

Ugh.

Bernie holding a conference soon

BIG NEWS apparently

 

[sdk]

Warren just gave a public statement from outside her home and you can tell how much she dislikes having to leave the race to a couple of dudes.

(And no, she didn't endorse anyone but said she'd be taking some time to consider things first.)

VP Predictions for the two possible nominees?

Mine aren't exactly shockers, but I'm going for:

Biden: Stacey Abrams
Sanders: Kamala Harris

Predictable, but hey ho

Not sure about Abrams. Biden already does very well with southern African Americans.
He needs to win over Latinos and progressives. Maybe Castro? He would have worked with him under Obama.

Yeah that’s probably not a bad shout.

I live in Julian's hometown and he does very little to stir my political interest. His mother is a living legend in Chicano politics but her twins may be the "whitest" Latinos in Texas politics. They don't even speak Spanish.

If Biden is the nominee I'd guess he will pick someone to help him win in states like MI, PA, WI or NC and FL. Gretchen Whitmer has high approval rating among older people in MI and won election 2 years ago by 10 points.

I don’t think her joining his campaign as co-chair today is a random coincidence...

Nope. And the coming primaries are crucial. Bernie has basically abandoned Mississippi, where he will likely get crushed as he was by Hillary in 2016, and will concentrate on Michigan. If Whitmer helps Biden do well there one has to think she's a solid VP choice.

 

[Ruairi77]

the latest poll out of Florida for their primary (Mar 17) was taken before Bloomberg and Warren got out,
has Biden at 62% and Bernie at 12%
Sanders has to make it over the 15% mark with help from warren voters or his goose is cooked.
