Six states will vote in primaries on Tuesday, but people have concentrated on Michigan. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) barely beat failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the state in 2016. Then President Donald Trump beat her in Michigan in the presidential election. It looks like Sanders may lose Michigan on Tuesday since former Vice President Joe Biden holds a 24 point lead.

New York Times editor Mara Gay and MSNBC's Brian Williams showed off their superior math skills last night on The 11th Hour. Mekita Rivers, a writer at Glamour and The Washington Post, posted that Michael Bloomberg could have used the $500 million he spent on ads on the American people. She said he could have given everyone $1 million and have money to spare.

I don't have many trigger words, but after today, I am adding sexism and misogyny. That is why Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) had to drop out of the presidential race, right? Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi believes there is an "element of misogyny" in presidential races that keeps females from obtaining the Oval Office.

Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Vice President Joe Biden are tearing apart each other on Twitter. Even supporters of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) are attacking Sanders' supporters over their whining. Bernie Bros are upset because Biden surged to first place after Super Tuesday.

Over 1,300 delegates were in play on Super Tuesday for the 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates after fourteen states, along with American Somoa, voted. Former Vice President Joe Biden crushed everyone, leaving the day with almost 400 delegates so far.

President Barack Obama has said over and over that he will not endorse a candidate in the 2020 Democratic primary. But is he supporting his Vice President Joe Biden behind the scenes? Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is supposedly mulling an endorsement of Biden after he spoke to both men after he dropped out of the race on Sunday. Now reports say Buttigieg, along with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), will endorse Biden Monday night at a rally in Dallas.
