The Day After Super Tuesday

While I was asleep, it appeared Biden won Texas while Maine still remained a tossup. 

Sanders supposedly won California, but his margin wasn't as expected, and there are still millions of ballots outstanding before the final apportionment of delegates can be determined.

In other words, Sanders got the shit kicked out of him after all the media hype he was going to run the table last night.  Warren also got trounced, most embarrassingly in her own state, a state where winner Biden spent just $11,000 in.  She came in third there.

Was it because she was a woman?  Was it because voters there were pissed off she ran for president in the first place? Did voters want her to remain in the Senate rather than go on a fool's quest?    Or was her pandering to transactivists at the expense of women's rights a factor, as she was the ONLY candidate who went out of her way to pander to them?  Pete Buttigieg did not do this, but Warren would pander to these people almost on a daily basis to the point it was embarrassing when she read off the names of the very, very, very few "trans women" (i.e., male crossdressers) who were murdered as opposed to the names of the 1,600 WOMEN who are murdered each year because of domestic violence.  It was very alienating to women like me and one of the reasons I rejected her candidacy early on.

I think the biggest reason Sanders got the shit kicked out of him last night lies in the simple fact there were and are very few caucuses this time around.  Sanders and his goons got to pack the caucuses last time, and packing those caucuses plus winning the California primary in 2016 made him competitive with the eventual winner, Hillary Clinton.  One of the reforms Clinton proposed after the 2016 elections was eliminating the caucus system.  The caucus system is too flawed, though fun to participate in, with peer pressure more than candidate support being the important factor in the selection of said candidate.

Sanders will remain in the contest to try and further ratfuck the Democratic Party and sow division in its ranks.  His ego is too monstrous to be reined in.  Warren and Bloomberg should seriously consider getting  out.

Biden was always going to be the nominee the minute he announced his candidacy.  The field never should have been as big as it was in the primary season.
