Bernie Sanders says that he’s spoken to Elizabeth Warren by phone after her disappointing Super Tuesday showing and that she’s “not made any decisions” about leaving the Democratic presidential race.

Warren’s campaign said the Massachusetts senator was talking to her team Wednesday to assess the path forward and would make up her mind on her own time. She didn’t win any of the 14 states that voted Tuesday and finished third in her home state.

they haven’t spoken frequently since January, when Warren accused Sanders of suggesting during a private 2018 meeting that a woman couldn’t win the White House — an accusation the Vermont senator forcefully denied.

Sanders didn’t say whether Warren would endorse him should she opt to leave the race, nor if he sought her endorsement.

Going in to Super Tuesday, the forecasts were that Biden would be crushed, and he was out of money.

The race would become Sanders vs Bloomberg.

Quite a dramatic turn of events

If Bernie offered her the VP slot to drop out... she may want to try to get an offer from Biden first.
Hitching her wagon to Sanders may be the wrong horse at this point.

Whoopi Goldberg thinks Jill Biden should be Surgeon General, because she is "an amazing doctor". amazing indeed

Someone pointed out her PHD is in education.

When Joe wants to get his ‘grope’ on, I suspect the difference between the two is trivial at best.

Top surrogates and allies of Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are discussing ways for their two camps to unite and push a common liberal agenda, with the expectation that Warren is likely to leave the presidential campaign soon

Warren associates and the camp of former vice president Joe Biden also had talks about a potential endorsement if she drops out, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

after Warren's bleak performance in the Super Tuesday primaries, her associates, as well as those of Sanders and Biden, say she is now looking for the best way to step aside. There is no certainty she will endorse Sanders or anyone else, but the talks reflect the growing pressure on the senator from Massachusetts to withdraw.

Tucker Carlson had a great opening monologue on his show last night:


Tucker Carlson: The Dem establishment is overjoyed about Biden's surge because he's weak and can be controlled



As of right now, Joe Biden is the strong front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Almost nobody saw that coming. We certainly didn't. And we apologize for that.

Again, and again, we told you, Joe Biden would never be the Democratic nominee. We were wrong. How did we screw that up?

Mostly because we don't think like Democrats think. The Republican Party is a coalition of business interests and conservative ideologues. At its core, it's about ideas -- the Constitution, the free market, the basic principles of Western civilization.

The Democratic Party isn't like that at all. Democrats don't fixate on ideas. Instead, their base is a constellation of aggrieved interest groups animated by their hostility to traditional Americans. They may not have much in common, but they're united in their desire to take power and redistribute the spoils to themselves.

To achieve that, Democrats know they must stick together no matter what. Group cohesion is the root of their power. On this show, we didn't see it that way. We looked at the Democratic primary field from the outside, and we thought the obvious: Is this party really going to nominate a guy with no program, no core beliefs, and by the way, who's clearly lost it?

And the answer we learned last night is, of course, they are. And why wouldn't they? It might work.

But hold on, you're probably wondering the most basic question of all, if elected president, could Joe Biden really oversee this complex nation of 320 million people?

Judge for yourself. Here was Biden's victory speech from Tuesday night, in which he mistook his wife of 43 years for his sister.

So, apparently some practical joker hid his wife from him. Cruel.

As a smart friend said Tuesday night, Joe Biden has spent his entire life trying to succeed in presidential politics. Now, he has. Too bad he's not there to enjoy it. Pretty funny.

But to the cynical and darkly clever people who run the Democratic Party, Biden's fading intellect is not a handicap. It's an opportunity. Joe Biden is weak, and he is getting weaker. Ask anyone who knows him or who has watched him carefully over the past 50 years.

Biden is noticeably more confused now than he was even last spring when he entered the race. So why is this good news for the Democratic establishment in Washington? Well, because it means they can control him. That's one reason the other candidates were so eager to swing in behind Biden the instant he won a state.

And it wasn't just Democrats who jumped on board. The entire so-called "resistance," angry former Republicans got in immediately -- Bill Kristol, Ana Navarro, Jennifer Rubin, that weird little guy who was Jeb Bush's spokesman back in 2016. They were all thrilled by Biden's rise. They know that Biden will greenlight their pointless foreign wars, no questions asked.

And then, because the day couldn't get more predictable and hilarious, James Comey himself sent a supportive tweet: "Voted in first Democratic primary to support a party dedicated to restoring values in the White House. I agree with Amy Klobuchar. We need candidates who care about all Americans and will restore decency and dignity to the office. There's a reason Trump fears Joe Biden and roots for Bernie. #Biden2020."

All these people are happy for the same reason: Joe Biden is fading and uncertain. Weak leaders are vessels for the stronger forces around them and no force in American politics is stronger, more aggressive or better organized than the narrow little interest groups that comprise the Democratic coalition.

There's a reason Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia swung so far from the center after he was caught wearing Klan robes. Northam was badly wounded by that. He was on the brink of resigning, you'll remember. And then Democratic interest groups swooped in and took control of his administration. Now, the Northam administration looks nothing like it once did. The interest groups are in charge.

What you're looking at is a man willing to say virtually anything. Hard-eyed extremists in the party will use Biden as their instrument from the first day.

As if on cue, one of the first things Joe Biden did after winning the South Carolina primary on Saturday was pledge to put Beto O'Rourke in charge of his gun policy.

Beto is "going to take care of the gun problem."

How exactly is Beto going to do that? Well, O'Rourke has promised to seize the rifles of law-abiding Americans by force with armed federal agents, if necessary. And that wasn't a throwaway line; he said it repeatedly.

That is the most extreme position on gun control ever articulated in American politics. It's now Joe Biden's position because it's the position of the powerful Democratic interest groups that control him.

In other words, don't expect a Biden presidency to be moderate, not because Joe Biden himself is some kind of wild-eyed extremist. He's clearly not that. He is a doddering old man who grins a lot.

But Biden is infinitely malleable. He assumes the form of whatever surroundings he finds himself in, like an invertebrate. Here he is revealing that actually he's just a southern as old Col. Sanders -- just give them a white suit and a string tie.

What you're looking at is a man willing to say virtually anything. Hard-eyed extremists in the party will use Biden as their instrument from the first day. And not just on guns, on every issue -- immigration, health care, taxes, judges -- esoteric social issues so bizarre you didn't know they existed.

Joe Biden is 77-years-old. If elected, he'd be 78 on Inauguration Day. That's almost 10 years older than Ronald Reagan was when he was first sworn in.

Joe Biden is fading and uncertain. Weak leaders are vessels for the stronger forces around them and no force in American politics is stronger, more aggressive or better organized than the narrow little interest groups that comprise the Democratic coalition.

Biden is acutely aware of this. That's why he's always talking about pushups and challenging other men to fistfights. He's insecure, and that insecurity makes Biden susceptible to the worst people in Democratic politics.

Now, you may be afraid of the 28-year-old nihilist currently trying to reorder American society -- and you should be. But Joe Biden is absolutely terrified of them. He doesn't understand exactly what they're saying, but he knows they are the future, and he is not.

And for that reason, he's willing to do whatever they ask. You can expect Transgendered Samoans Week to become a federal holiday in his first term, and a whole lot more after that. Biden doesn't care about the details of policy. He doesn't even know the difference. He just doesn't want to fall behind.

So what are the political lessons of what happened Tuesday night? Well, the first is that the Democratic establishment is far stronger than the Republican establishment, not to mention far bigger. It's in a different category from what the right has. It extends far beyond four cable news shows, a cluster of D.C. think tanks and a few low circulation magazines.

We're almost through the first term of the Trump administration, and Democrats still operate virtually every lever of power in this country. They control finance, big business, the tech sector, the news media, of course, academia, the vast federal bureaucracy, and we're including in that, unfortunately, the Pentagon and the intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

Every power center in America is arrayed against Donald Trump, and we would add to that list the government of Communist China, which would badly like to return to the compliant American leadership of yesterday.

Excellent summary by Carlson, especially about how the Democrats are much more united that many people here believe. Many of them may not like what ultimately happens to Sanders, for example, but they like Trump even less—far, far less. I avoid political discussions as much as I can, but even the tiny bit that I can’t insulate myself from makes that glaringly obvious. In 2016 many Sanders fans and other Democrats may have stayed away from the polls because they were more disgusted by what happened within their party than they feared the hype about Trump. Now, however, they’ve had almost four years of the BS news media and others screeching that, “See, see! We were right about him; he’s worse than we feared. No matter what you feel about Biden, we cannot let Trump be reelected!”

Keep in mind too that in 2016 virtually everyone who had much influence over Democrats’ opinions was as convinced of a Clinton victory as they were that the sun would rise the morning after the election. It’s highly unlikely they will be spouting a similar message this year.

And on the other hand, every time we confidently assert that Trump will “steamroller” over Biden or Sanders, it makes it more likely that an ignorant Republican or Independent will decide to stay home on election day or vote for someone like a Libertarian because he’s exasperated by one of Trump’s juvenile remarks, but yet doesn’t really think that a Democrat can win and fundamentally change America and his life.

No way. The dem establishment hates Tulsi. Tulsi will never be allowed to have much power in the dem party.

Joe Biden Drops Out of Race, Endorses Biden


(2020-03-02) — Following disappointing performances in early primaries and caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden today suspended his campaign for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, and announced he’ll throw his support behind the winner of the South Carolina primary, the former Delaware Senator, Joe Biden.

“A man’s gotta know when he’s whipped,” Biden told a tearful crowd of supporters. “It’s time for me to skedaddle, and make way for that Biden fella — God love him. He’s got the Joe-mentum now, and I’m yesterday’s newspaper, stained filthy with bird droppings and cat urine.”

The three-time presidential contender said he was moved by the selflessness of Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, who each dropped out the race this week and plan to endorse Biden.

“If they can put aside their own ambitions for the good of the country,” Biden said, “so can Old Joe.”

After nearly a year as the presumptive frontrunner, the Biden campaign fell off an electoral cliff in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, supplanted first by the youthful energy of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and then by the late-blooming Biden campaign.

Thanks to a tailwind from the Biden endorsement, Joe Biden says he thinks “Democrats will finally come together around the one candidate who can beat President Eisenhower.”
