Joe Biden absolutely crushed it! And awesome turnout. The record is 2008 with 532,000 and this year is over 500,000. In 2016 there were 370,000. And youth vote went down from something like 28% to 17% so this was the base of the Democratic party showing up not all the young and new voters that Sanders keeps promising but not delivering. It was great to see a lifelong Democrat with the backbone of the Democratic party showing up in force to deliver the victory.
Sanders is well-positioned for Super Tuesday. Hopefully, Biden can stay reasonably close. Later in March has more favorable states for him. He has good states on Super Tuesday but there is stupid Bloomberg. I honestly don't think anyone other than Sanders and Biden has a chance for the nomination but we will know more after Super Tuesday.
