I have respect for Biden throwing a haymaker in SC, his money problems were becoming harder to hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Amy didn’t want to drop out before Pete. Well Pete is done, drop out Amy. Don’t wait until Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 So what happens to early Buttigieg votes when tabulating the 15% threshold? If you count them as disqualified, that seems to be a big boost to those on the cusp of 15% in CA like Biden and Warren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever early voting votes are cast for him, stays with him. It’s too late to remove him from Tuesday’s ballots; so any votes he gets is still his. This probably helps Biden a lot. Biden has to beat Bernie in several states that Bernie is leading in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I"m a big Mayor Pete fan. And this reflects so well on him. He didn't let ego get in the way of the right decision. The DNC will remember this strategically sound, gracious move on his part. He has solidified his future as national figure with this decision.

Nerm Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I will echo the comments about Pete dropping out being something that increases my respect for him. A lot of people continue in campaigns with the idea of building infrastructure/support for the future if they decide to run again. Dropping out once it becomes clear that you may hurt your party/constituents shows a level of selflessness that you don't see much in politics. I think Amy should do the same thing. I get the feeling that Warren and Bloomberg are more the, "If the citizens don't vote for me, they get what they deserve!" type of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that Biden would prefer Warren (California and Mass) and Amy (Minn) to stay in to keep Bernie's margin lower in some states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
