Just for the sake of argument.. just for the fun of it.. lets say Biden takes the win big in SC

[Peacetrain]

and leads in delegates post SC. Now I understand Bernie is 20 delegates ahead, and there is a slew of everyone bow down to Bernie he has won this threads

Can we say then.. well time for Sanders to get out of the pool.. VP Joe is ahead in delegates..

Let me add this.. everyone should be sweating bullets post SC because Bloomberg is wall to wall commercials and we have not idea how this is going to look post Super Tuesday .. could be a whole new ball game

I keep hitting 10 instead of 20.. its 20 folks.. nothing else has changed..

1. Stop the 10 business. It's 20!!!!

And both will get delegates. IF Biden wins S.C., he’ll have three days to get some sort of organization together for 14 states. That’s quite a feat to do in a short amount of time.

[Peacetrain]

2. calm down jimmy.. it is 20 .. same question applies though

[jimfields33]

6. Ok. I will.

Do you believe he has the infrastructure to compete in 14 states 3 days later?

[Peacetrain]

10. We will see.. no one is going to know for sure till post Super Tuesday..

and the big dog in the room, is going to be Bloombergs commercials.. It might be a scary wake up call for a lot of candidates.. this is the unknown

[jimfields33]

14. He literally is the one I'd need to take a few shots and hold my nose for

The rest I’d be thrilled to vote for. Bloomberg is so scummy. I can’t believe the support he gets here.

[Peacetrain]

4. But just for the sake of argument Jimmy.. say Joe is ahead in the delegate count on Sunday

Should Bernie step down as you suggested in one of your ops that everyone else should.. will it be all over for him?? inquiring minds want to know

[jimfields33]

8. I said everyone should step down?

No way! I love everyone in. This is the greatest primary ever! Very exciting.

11. If Biden wins wont he get the 54 delegates?

How many delegates:

The Democrats will be awarding 63 delegates on Saturday. Fifty-four of those delegates are pledged to the winner of the primary.

The other nine are unpledged delegates, or superdelegates.

Of course I could be wrong but this is what I found in a quick search.

[jimfields33]

12. No. Everything is proportional

Only the republicans do winner takes all, but not all the states but a bunch.

16. Thanks!

3. If Biden has a huge 10% win in SC

I think it can help him in the southern states on Super Tuesday.

Biden doesn’t need to win all of them. If Amy wins Minnesota and Warren wins Massachusetts, and Biden can win 3 or 4 states, then he will be fine.

[Peacetrain]

5. I am good for that!!

[former9thward]

7. 538 forecasts a 4 delegate win for Biden

Biden 24 and Sanders 20. We will see what the real result is but it is unlikely Biden will "win big" and give him a delegate lead.

9. No one should bow out until after Super Tuesday

And not even then if things aren't looking fairly settled

[Celerity]

13. I am making no prognostications until I get the full ST results.

Far too much fluidity, delta, unknown variables, and externalities at play to make any predictions that are not simply a semi-wild guess. Bloomberg is the joker in the pack.

15. Joe Biden was a lifeguard. He should order Bernie out of the pool. n/t

[booley]

17. Democrats havent' won S Carolina since Jimmy Carter

Remember when the pundits were saying Sanders wouldn't last to the first convention.
Then Sanders would be trounced in Iowa

Oh then Sanders wouldn't make it past a diverse state with non white voters

Biden meanwhile was 30 points ahead in the polls

Then 15 points

And now he is maybe 5% ahead in that one state that he is hoping will somehow save his campaign. A state he has no chance to win in the general. So I have no idea how this is going to prove his argument he can win against trump.

Reminder, this is Biden's third attempt at running to be the Democratic Nominee. IF he wins S. Carolina that would make the grand total of states he was won... 1
(And there is less and less reason to think he will even win S. Carolina)

Sanders has run twice. His grand total for both is 25. Or 26 of you count Iowa which I am since he got the most votes.

At least when Clinton was called the front runner and Sanders was being told he should drop out, Sanders had actually won a few states by then.
