*UPDATE* Biden Demolishes Sanders in Florida, Illinois, and Arizona Primaries
Let it go, Sanders.
Illinois and Florida barely closed the polls before declaring former Vice President Joe Biden the winner in their primaries. The same happened in Arizona.
A look at the numbers shows why it was an easy call.
Ohio postponed its primary from today until June 2 due to the coronavirus.
Arizona’s numbers came in at about 11:15 pm ET. With only 2.5% of polls reporting, everyone called the state for Biden, 42.7% to 30.1%.
Will Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) drop out? Some thought he would after Super Tuesday and then Super Tuesday II, but the man will not budge. Something tells me he will stay in.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, an NBC poll showed that Sanders’ supporters may not support the eventual Democratic nominee if he does not win the primary.
Data shows that black and older voters helped Biden in Florida:
Those voting groups supported Biden in high numbers, with more than three-quarters in each backing the former vice president in the primary fight against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Sunshine State voters who said they preferred a candidate who would unite the country, those who oppose a single payer health care system and voters who want a nominee that can beat Trump also supported Biden on Tuesday.
In 2016, Sanders lost Florida to Hillary Clinton. Some groups Sanders performed well with in 2016, such as white men and independents, didn’t follow him in 2020. In 2016, 52% of white men supported Sanders for the nomination while only a quarter did so in 2020 — slightly more than 6 in 10 voting for Biden.
In 2020, half of independent Democratic voters in Florida supported Biden for the nomination. That’s a flip from 2016, when 55% of voters in the state backed Sanders.

Biden will name Shrillary Shrooooooo as his running mate. Should he win, he’ll either be declared mentally incompetent or fall to Arkncide within his first two weeks of being elected, and Shrill will take over.
And on “This Old House of 2021”, sanders remodels the second house given to him by hillary clinton.
ITS ALL RIGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!
No don’t let it go. Sanders stay in as long as possible.
And while you’re at it hype up the fact that the system is rigged against you.
Thank you,
The GOP
Keep up the hard work on that private jet bernie, America’s socialists believe you. Don’t let slo joe walk away without a hard fight.
Something tells me he will stay in.
He’s probably thinking the longer he stays, the bigger the buy off from the DNC.
Maybe he’ll get a couple more nice houses.
Actually I honestly think he’s playing the odds that Biden will not MAKE it to the convention and he will get the default nomination.
Even to normies Biden’s decline is becoming too obvious to hide anymore.
Agreed. If something happened to Biden where he became unable to be the nominee Sanders staying in means he could lay claim to being the nominee.
And of course watch the DNC steal the nomination from him.
Which would be a glorious sight to see. Might as well hold Trump 2nd inauguration the next day. LOL
I think you’re on to something. Bernie has shown he will not fight tooth and nail to stay alive. Will Biden be able to avoid another moment such as with the auto worker last week? Bernie may very well be making a passive-aggressive move to be the last candidate standing.
Sunshine State voters who said they preferred a candidate who would unite the country
There’s always somebody who just doesn’t get it. The D’rats would do well to find a candidate who can unite the Party. The rest of the country won’t unite with them. Nor should it.
The divide now is greater than it was in 1861. Then, the great crisis was slavery for a subset of the population in a limited portion of the country. Now, with the D’rat enthusiasm for the socialist agenda, the crisis is slavery for all of us; unlimited subservience to a generally incompetent government. Think Venezuela, only ten times larger.
I don’t care if the D’rats run Jesus Christ as their candidate, I won’t vote for anything resembling such a sinister Master Plan. They’ll just have to keep the faith until we old fogeys die off.
A communist or someone with Alzheimer’s will unite the Country?
These people are gone…
In a sane world, how could Joe Biden garner any votes at all?
I’ve seen people look healthier than Biden when they were in a casket at a wake.
The primary race is really over. Anything further is just orchestrated show like John Kerry winning and winning in 2004. Phony momentum for Biden. More like a dead cat bounce.
Come on, Comrade Sanders, let the young guy have it! Go have a vacation at your dacha.
The Bernie Bros can’t be happy, they have a difficult time handling not getting their way.
They’re a bunch of incels who will go jerk off in their moms basement again. It’s the only thing they’re good at.
biden looks as if he’s deteriorating at an exponential rate. The campaign seems to be taking a big toll on him. I can’t tell if he simply spaced out here or was waiting for the applause that would never come because there was no audience. How awkward this must have been as it happened.

“biden looks as if he’s deteriorating at an exponential rate…”
For his corruption and treason, biden deserves nothing less than public humilation.
If Durham ever comes through, biden will be toast.
Well…if Durham comes through.
The DNC has thrown in the towel.
They DO NOT want the Presidency right now.
Who would?
Joe is the best loser they have.
If they can’t take the presidency (they can’t), any future PDJT SCOTUS nomination is going to be an absolute sh!+ show. Way worse than the Kavanaugh hearings, no matter who he nominates. I used to think civil warII was impossible in this country. Now I fell as if the left is itching for one.
Slow Joe confused Theresa May with Margaret Thatcher, not once but twice..
Justin Horwitz, a Bernie supporter and Democrat strategist, said that Biden’s mental frailty is “unfortunately something we’re not allowed to talk about .. he is a candidate that is mentally deteriorating..
I’m waiting for the day Gropey Joe starts sniffing a woman’s hair from behind with her reaction being an immediate elbow to his belly. How might the MSM spin that?
.
Can’t wait to see the Republican ads this fall …. a continuous gaffe-o-rama stream. Hilarious.
Sanders has never claimed allegiance to the Democratic Party; his allegiance is to socialism and progressivism.
To Bernie but especially to his supporters, the Democratic Party is useful only to the extent it can serve as a vehicle to promote socialism and progressivism.
I don’t doubt that Bernie is under tremendous pressure from the Democrat establishment, and perhaps that pressure will be enough to get him to quit. But, it’s not as if he’s ever going to run for president again or as if Biden would select him as VP (no, not even if he declares that, yes, despite external appearances it’s really, truly, true that he’s always been a woman). What could the Party establishment offer him that would be of value to him (or his fans)?
Other than promoting his socialist progressive agenda, of course. But the unsaleability of that agenda is the very reason he got shut out.
I sense that Bernie Sanders is waiting for Joe Biden to “stroke-out”
Why?
