If these results hold some candidates need to take a good look in the mirror

1. They're splitting the vote.

[jimfields33]

3. The problem is Tuesday is another debate

They see it helped warren in Nevada. They’ll want that debate “win” for South Carolina and stay through then. Heck, 3 days later Super Tuesday. After that we may see some leave.

6. It does not seem that it helped Warren

The Bellagio caucus they showed had 6 voters for her. Only Biden and Bernie were viable.

Most of the NV vote was in already before the debate.

13. Sheesh - that is a great point! After all she seemed to gain, it doesn't seem to have carried over.

18. Do you work at the Bellagio?

I love their Christmas decorations.

8. If and I put the emphasis on "if" did the debate really help Warren?

2. Way too soon. Sanders does well in caucuses.

That’s over now. Let’s see how it goes.

4. True, but...

They need to consolidate. Soon. Splitting things up is going to mean a minority of voters will decide the outcome

[squirecam]

7. Are you asking Warren to quit?

Nt

10. I definitely want Warren to stay in

[relayerbob]

11. Hardly

She's my first choice. I don't who or how they choose, but they need to talk it out. IMO

[relayerbob]

14. As I posted in another post

I believe she is the one best positioned to unify the party, moderates and progressives alike

12. +++

19. He is going to win running away in CA

and I take no pleasure in saying that. In fact, he's going to get the vast, vast majority of the delegates in the most delegate-rich state--and probably do nearly as well in TX the same day. It's too soon to be so late, but late it is.

5. It's time.

9. Steyer not leaving, he has money to burn. If two candidates from the

Amy, Pete, and Joe block threw there support behind one of the candidates in that block, it would be a competitive race against the Sanders Warren block

But none of that will happen, and Bloomberg has money to burn, and is further splitting the votes

Wonderful

[denem]

17. There is no Sanders Warren block

and a substantial number of female Klobuchar voters would go to Warren.

[still_one]

20. I understand that, but i don't think it is perceived that way in the polls. I am not sure if Amy

supporters will migrate to Warren, because Amy and Elizabeth's positions on the issues are not aligned at all

Elizabeth and Bernie are more aligned on the issues, but the differences in how to arrive at the goal is where the differences lie, along them with the fact that Warren is much more flexible in how to get there than Sanders in my opinion

[denem]

21. They have something in common

people who want a woman president, and I'm one of them.

[still_one]

24. I understand. My daughter will be voting for Warren on Super Tuesday, and that is a

significant issue for her

I am waiting until after the SC primary to make a final decision, but most likely will be voting for Biden. My initial choice was Harris, but too many candidates didn't help

In my view Bloomberg has made an already confusing primary worse, and with open primaries in 20 some states, i think there will be more republicans voting in the Democratic primaries come Super Tuesday than i like to think about

[pinkstarburst]

23. Voters choose their preferred

candidates for many reasons.

-Issues (which are more complex than just moderate vs. progressive.)

-Things that may be disqualifiers (age, personality, not liking things in a candidate's personal history)

I'm for Warren, but were she no longer in the running, I'd switch to Pete. Were he no longer in the running, I'd switch to Amy.

After that, I'd go to Bernie.

It's a mistake to assume Biden will automatically scoop up Pete's and Amy's supporters, and that the progressive vote will coalesce behind Sanders. In reality, each voter decides for themselves for their own reasons and those reasons are highly personal.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. No. Stay in. Let's see how this plays out.

No reason to drop out so soon.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. There are at least four or five candidates on the ballot who have no plausible chance to win the nom

I might as well not pussyfoot around, everybody but Joe and Bernie.

22. Joe has lost to Pete in two states

and he might well have lost to him Nevada too. If he did, then why is he viable but Pete not.
