Here are the latest results of the March 3 "Super Tuesday" Democratic primaries. Joe Biden will win Virginia, North Carolina and five states in which he did no campaigning: Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Tennessee. He's leading in Maine and Texas but those races are too close to call. Bernie Sanders will win Colorado, Utah and Virginia and has a sizable lead in California, which has not yet been called. Bloomberg won in American Samoa; Tulsi Gabbard finished second.
One thousand, three hundred forty-four delegates are at stake today. One thousand, nine hundred ninety-one are necessary to win the nomination. Right now, Biden has 351, Sanders has 295, Pete Buttigieg (who is no longer a candidate) has 26, Elizabeth Warren has 21 and Bloomberg has 11.
Bloomberg, same as Tom Steyer, learned the hard way that money can not buy a nomination. Bloomberg spent more than $500,000,000 on political ads. As for Elizabeth Warren, she is said to be "reassessing" her campaign. I think we all know what that means.

CNN projects that Joe Biden will win 10 states and Bernie Sanders will win four (including California). Elizabeth Warren is a Senator from Massachusetts but couldn't even win her home state; she finished third.
Senate Republicans – who acquitted King Donald the First on impeachment charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress because they saw absolutely nothing wrong with him withholding Congressionally-approved military aid and pressuring a foreign country to dig up dirt on a political rival in order to help his re-election campaign – are now trying to dig up dirt on that same political rival in order to help King Donald's re-election chances. Republicans have no shame, no morals, no ethics and no sense of decency. All that matters to them is King Donald the First and the Donald Trump party (formerly known as the Republican party).

Yesterday, after failing to win a single state on Super Tuesday – not even her home state – Warren said she was "reassessing" her campaign. Today, she's completed her reassessing.

CNN's Jake Tapper describes King Donald's lies as "a never-ending cascade." Indeed. Thousands of lies, thousands of false statements, thousands of exaggerations and a steady stream of fake news and even fake videos. What is especially alarming and dismaying is that King Donald's brainwashed, blindly loyal supporters believe everything he says.
Fact check: Trump and his campaign promote dishonestly edited Biden video
CNN, Mar 8 2020 1:19 PM ET
President Donald Trump and his campaign promoted a dishonestly edited video on Saturday that wrongly made it seem as if Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden had accidentally endorsed Trump. The clip, which was viewed more than 5.8 million times and retweeted more than 34,000 times as of 10 AM Sunday morning, showed Biden struggling with a line in his Saturday speech in Kansas City, Missouri, then saying, "Excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump." But the clip was edited to cut out the second part of Biden's sentence. What the former vice president actually said was this: "Excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. It's gotta be a positive campaign." Biden had called for an end to "negative attacks" in his primary contest with Bernie Sanders. Trump retweeted the dishonestly edited clip late Saturday night.

Biden has serious medical issues. There is no doubt.

Biden's history is replete with serious reasons to not vote for him. By themselves they are conclusive for anyone who wants real change.
There is, however, another reason - his mental status. But, to DNC ideologues, the overwhelming evidence is viewed as a Russian plant, a Sanders tactic, a Trump supporter's scheme to derail a dem win.
Nope. It has been talked about in DEM circles for some time. How nice it would be if it were possible for the average person to shun emotion and rationalization.

Worldwide, there have now been 118,632 confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus and 4,269 deaths. In the United States, 950 people have been infected and 30 have died. The Presidential candidates won't be shaking people's hands for a while.

King Donald the First has very few positive accomplishments he can tout to voters so his re-election strategy will consist of spewing cruel, nasty accusations against his opponent. By the way, Biden is only three and a half years older than King Donald – and, unlike King Donald, he's not a vain, pompous, narcissistic, egotistical, irrational, immature, thin-skinned, crooked, corrupt, dishonest, deranged, delusional lunatic.

Six states are holding their Democratic primaries today. CNN is projecting Joe Biden will win the three states where the polls are now closed. Right now he leads Sanders 53.1% to 40.6% in Michigan, 58.5% to 30.6% in Missouri and 80.3% to 15.7% in Mississippi. Polls are still open in Idaho, Washington and North Dakota.
The COVID-19 virus is spreading rapidly – but not nearly as fast as the panic, paranoia and over-reacting. For example, Democratic debaters won't be able to take questions from the audience. There won't be an audience.

To win the Democratic Presidential nomination, a candidate needs 1,991 pledged delegates. Biden now has 812 and Sanders has 655, according to CNN. Biden has 812 and Sanders has 671, according to Fox News. They can't both be correct. The Northern Mariana Islands caucus takes place March 14 and the Arizona primary will be held March 17.
With 69% of the vote counted in Washington, Sanders leads Biden 32.7% to 32.6%. In Idaho, with 47% of the vote in, Biden leads Sanders 46.6% to 39.9%. In North Dakota, with 32% of the vote in, Sanders leads Biden 44% to 32%.
Joe Biden has won Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi and is projected to win Idaho. Bernie Sanders has won North Dakota. In Washington, where all voting is done by mail and it will take several days for the count to be completed, Sanders leads Biden 32.8% to 32.6%. If that margin holds, Sanders will get 45 of the state's pledged delegates and Biden will get 44. Right now, Biden has 859 delegates and Sanders has 709. Bernie says he is not dropping out of the race and will take part in the upcoming debate – the one without an audience because of coronavirus fears – but he admitted, "While our campaign has won the ideological debate, we are losing the debate over electability."
A CNN investigation discovered that Russian trolls are creating fake social-media accounts for the purpose of sowing racial discord and provoking social unrest. Yes, in 2020 they're doing the same things they did in 2016 – but now they're operating in Ghana and Nigeria (and claiming to be in the United States). Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are doing their best to identify and delete all the fake posts and fake accounts.
