Anthony Edwards and possibly him? I'm sure winning a dozen games and doing nothing in March is fun..

Heh, that's hilarious. Pretty obvious Kuminga is an auction. LSU was the frontrunner for a bit, now UGA in the picture. UK and dook still there too.

Marcus won't be healthy regardless of whether he plays over the next 2 weeks. His injury takes months to heal correctly.

Howling, as it were.

Super Tuesday was her Hail Mary. It was over after New Hampshire, but Very Online People plus Debate People convinced them they had a path. Campaigns have a way of convincing you that you can win as long as cash comes through the door. Warren raised about a gazillion after the last debate, but money !=votes.

But here’s the deal. We a HUGE amount of attention to the Presidential election (as well we should!) but pay almost zero to the most important elections to Congress. Without looking, can you name the major candidates for Senate in swing states? If voters want a major legislative agenda, work for/donate to/promote.. idk.. candidates for the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH. Their the superior branch of government and can make the changes you want. The President cannot.

And ultimately none of this matters anyway but the point is taken.

Of course it does. The makeup of Congress matters A TON. A D Congress with a Biden Presidency gets more progressive change than Bernie with a R Congress. The RNC is making a massive mistake in not going balls to the wall to protect Gardner, Collins, McSally, et al. A Trump second term is crippled if Sen. Schumer gets to ignore Trump appointments.

I mean all of it. The president too. It will all pretty much to according to plan.

Sounds like you and Alex Jones need a podcast 😂😂

Is Amy McGrath the most viable challenger to sent McConnell packing? I am thinking about contributing to that race.

Don’t. Cocaine Mitch is going to win by about 15 points.

@approxinfinity said in Super Tuesday:

@FarmerJayhawk would you be concerned that taking one of the senators you mentioned as a running mate would just turn the senate one more seat red? And what do you expect the impact of a Biden ticket down ballot to be?

On Sinema, yes. Ducey is a Republican and would appoint a Republican to replace her, but AZ law means there’s a special election in 22 to replace the appointed Senator. The governor of Wisconsin is a Democrat so that wouldn’t matter as far as the partisan breakdown.

I think Biden has much longer coattails than Bernie. He’s gotten a lot of black and suburban voters so far. I think they absolutely vote in the general. We’ve always observed primary voters vote in the general and won’t flip. Bernie has always operated outside the DNC and his machine hasn’t really moved the needle in terms of turnout so far. It’s a recipe for losing some suburban women who don’t like A) Bernie’s record with women and B) his insistence we get rid of their health insurance plans. He’s never done well with black voters either. I’m skeptical he’d get 2012 type numbers with black voters in Philly, Detroit, and Milwaukee.

@FarmerJayhawk I'm just upset even though I knew this was happening deep down quite awhile ago.

It’s far from over. There’s A LOT of Bernie delegates out there. California delegates are days out, New York is still up for grabs, Bernie is going to get a good chunk from Texas, etc.

Uh huh okay dot gif

But seriously this was all the confirmation I needed. You know as well as I do the dnc wants Biden. Warren has played her role to help this admirably. Time to stock up on mad max gear for the climate apocalypse.

I’ve been clear since Saturday I thought a contested convention was the most likely outcome. I still think that. If Bernie can’t get the majority of delegates based on the rules HE LOBBIED FOR that’s on him. If you can’t win under the rules you wanted then can it.

@BShark said in Super Tuesday:

Maybe Biden can win because hey Obama and carry on the legacy of endless war and bank bail outs.

TARP was under Bush. I mean ya boy Bernie was a big booster for Dodd-Frank which was supposed to end them all. At least that’s what he said ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@BShark said in Super Tuesday:

Breaking news Trump elected president for the next eight years.

Real question. Where does Bernie either swing voters that went for Trump or turn out new voters that Biden wouldn’t? I just really don’t see the math.

We’re not repealing the 22nd Amendment.

@approxinfinity said in Super Tuesday:

@FarmerJayhawk I was shocked at the coverage last election that the pundits thought that Kaine got outdebated by Pence. Not that it matters much, but do you think Sinema would outdebate Pence?

I think she’d hold her own. I think the perception of a young, bi, centrist Senator vs. Pence would be a win in itself. And if you can win Arizona, ballgame.

@approxinfinity said in Super Tuesday:

@FarmerJayhawk Who do you hope Biden picks as a running mate?

Oh boy. I think Sen. Tammy Baldwin (WI) would be a solid choice. First openly gay Senator, and from a state that would lock in 270 for D’s. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan would be good too.

My pick would be Sen. Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona. Young, attractive, openly bi, and a centrist.

@approxinfinity said in Super Tuesday:

So... if it is a brokered nomination, Warren could still be nominated at the convention. Hard to imagine.

While possible, it’s extremely unlikely. It’ll be Biden if it’s close on the first ballot. Remember, superdelegates can vote on the second ballot.

@DoubleDD said in Super Tuesday:

@approxinfinity

Amy yes, Warren no. A big no. Warren has told more lies than trump.

Serious policy folks know Warren is a fraud. Most of her #PlansforEverything don’t hold up to any serious scrutiny.

@approxinfinity said in Super Tuesday:

Wow. Protesters ran on stage right behind him. Security?

Further proof vegans are the worst.

To @DoubleDD‘s point, I’m a libertarian and absolutely can’t stand Trump. Tepidly supported the TCJA because it was directionally good but not so good in the details, don’t support the USMCA because it’s a bailout to unions and is economic imperialism on Mexico. I’m a farm kid and opposed the bailouts. I took my check because duh, but it’s horrible policy. I really like markets.

Bernie has failed in his key idea: turn out new voters to elect a socialist. It just isn’t happening. The new voters in the D column are blacks and upscale suburban whites who are breaking overwhelmingly for Biden. Bernie isn’t putting the Obama coalition back together. Youth turnout is really bad. Blacks are turning out big for Biden. This is just my cold, former operative analysis. I voted for Biden but the numbers are what they are. Biden is going to fight Bernie to a draw in the only number that counts tonight and that’s an unqualified loss for Bernie.

@DoubleDD said in Super Tuesday:

@FarmerJayhawk

Really? Haven’t seen that one. Yet good news

Yep. It’ll be a death march to Milwaukee. Guessing Bloomberg turns his cannons on Bernie and serves as Biden’s de facto Super PAC, but gets to buy time at the low candidate rate instead of the PAC rate.

Bloomberg is dropping out.

I voted for Biden this morning. Pretty easy decision for me given NC doesn't love Bloomberg.

Given the polls that came out this morning, I think it's pretty likely Biden fights Bernie to a delegate draw. Biden will sweep the South (with the possible exception of Texas) and Bernie will run strong in Texas, California, and the northeast. Warren has the money for a long slog, but at some point she has to understand her campaign has entered the zombie stage. Yeah it's still going, but it's effectively dead.

I expect Bloomberg to pull a Steyer and crater. I highly doubt he'll win a single state and will probably fail to be viable in a majority.

The early vote is key. For example, over 800,000 ballots were cast before today just in North Carolina. There are millions already banked in California. The early vote won't be friendly to Biden, so he's going to have to run up the score on Election Day to really cut into Bernie's lead. I think he will considering ED voters tend to be older and better off financially than early voters. There's a good chance Amy is actually viable in Minnesota even after dropping out. Her internals had her way ahead before SC.

I think the key is the delegate math with both Bloomberg and Warren. Both are foils to Biden and Bernie, respectively. Warren has a chance at getting the majority of delegates from Massachusetts, which would deny Bernie a batch he needs to hit 1991. Bloomberg may deny Biden some CD delegates in Minnesota, Vermont, and Utah. If he hits viability in more states than I think, he'll peel off some statewide delegates from Biden. Same applies to Warren. If she's viable in a bunch of these states, it could deny Bernie absolute majority delegate hauls.

In short, I think the race becomes a long slog till Milwaukee. Next Tuesday looks fairly pro-Bernie, the 17th looks a lot better for Biden, the Acela primary in April looks better for Biden, May looks to lean Sanders. I'd be somewhat surprised at this point if someone hit 1991.

Almost as if he disappeared since the suspension. I am guessing that he has practiced like normal since it happened. Any word on reinstatement?

He'll be back Saturday.

Good for Dom. He's going to do well there.

If Tech hangs on and we win Wednesday we clinch outright. Just saying.

Tech up by a point at Waco at the U4...
