Exit poll data from MI, MO and MS don't look good for Bernie

[brooklynite]

Demographic, ideology, policy positions

1. Biden's got this. It is his moment!

2. Washington looks 50/50

44% wants policy similar to Obama and 41% wants more progressive

3. Even if the primary is not officially over tonight, if Biden does well, it's unofficially over

Hoping it will calm the noise down...hope hope

4. It depends upon Bernie

If he keeps talking about a revolution and taking the "fight" to the convention, it will inflame the base.

This is why Mahatma Gandhi (and MLK Jr.) never called their respective movements "a fight for independence" or "a fight for civil rights" ... they called it a "struggle"

7. The most tightly engaged Bernie supporters I know

in real life, are not a bit interested in following Gandhi or MLK Jr.'s model of achieving social change.

That is one of the reasons I worry about what Bernie has started. Maybe it is about those particular young people and other influences they've had in their life, more than anything Bernie is doing or saying. But I'd feel a lot better if I thought the two leaders you mentioned were among their role models.

8. They'll probably start looking for a new Messiah to carry on the

legacy.... AOC ?

9. Someone smarter than me pointed out that once the "leader" is gone they're gone.

Followers disperse to look for another cause. And no one really is able to take up the cause.

10. I think with the net, and social media, the geni is out of the bottle. I hope

you are right though.

5. brooklynite, do you have a link...

6. Feed from MSNBC

11. It looks like a mixed bag

The electorate is a little whiter than 2016. In Michigan in 2016 blacks were 21% of the electorate. This year they are 18%.

But CNN said the electorate is also a bit more moderate, and the breakdown on "can beat Trump" versus "agrees with you on issues" doesn't look great for Bernie. Although a lot of Bernie's supporters believe he is as electable if not more than Biden, so that may not mean much.

12. "electorate is a little whiter that 2016"

I think that just means Biden is bringing out the middle class suburbs voter.

13. any link? or did you hear this on TV?
