Bye Felicia.

Apparently Kamala Harris' campaign is hemorrhaging money and has had to shrink already, focussing entirely on early states to try and rebuild momentum. Tulsi's takedown of her seems to have been terminal.

Unlike Trump it's hard to see one of the outsiders climbing this mountain. Biden I think is dead and doesn't know it yet so it'll come down to Warren or Sanders. There have been a lot of rumblings of Hillary entering the race which would be good for a laugh at least :lol:

O'Rourke was a massive phony. I'm glad to see him go (although one can't shake the feeling that one of these losers will turn up as VP nominee under Biden).

Remember the good old days when Bernie cared about the working class?

Are you trying to suggest that he’s changed his views on that? Because he’s still making the exact same arguments about open borders, as far as I can tell:

^ My mistake. I thought he had caved on this.
It looks like he's sticking to the union line but also attempting to placate the open borders crowd. Perhaps he'll make both sides happy? Perhaps he'll make neither happy?

A lot of media speculation about whether Tulsi 'Clinton-killer' Gabbard will break with the Dems and run as a third party candidate.

But there's another option for her - to be Trumps running mate as Vice Presidential candidate on the Republican ticket.

Gabbard is an almost perfect fit for Trump's ticket. She would bring in those conservative Dems that don't like the impeachment agenda, and don't find Creepy Joe, AOC, or Hillary appealing. And if Trump does fall from power Garbbard provides Trump with a 'more of the same' successor, which is not what he'd get from Pence. Speaking of which Trump is brokenhearted - paid for Pence and only farted.

Standby for the premature arrival of the unexpected.

Didn't Tulsi just vote in support of impeachment?
I'm sure Trump will ignore that, give her a hug and then ask her to be his VP. After all, he's a pretty magnanimous guy who doesn't hold grudges.

Trump looking good in the states that count against the front runners (even with Biden who is probably already cooked).

Could be an even bigger popular vote trouncing with a similar delegate count win.

As Warren and Sanders go crazily together off the socialist cliff, Biden makes a play for Red state primary votes.
