Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

To heck with finding a vaccine for Covid-19...science needs to cure TDS first!

Hell, even Miss South Carolina was more coherent when she said:

I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U. S. should help the U. S., uh, or, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

Turns out, Bernie Sanders supporters really don't like it when you hum the State Anthem of the Soviet Union around them.

Biden’s night is good early. Bloomberg spent a large fortune in VA and got zip out of it.

Biden got 70+ % of black voters in VA.

Warren, a liberal from liberal Massachusetts, is running third in her home state. I think they are prejudiced against Native Americans there.

The blacks are still stuck in reverse by believing in the failed promises and policies of the Dem. party that continually abuse the blacks and their future.

Well I think most people will agree this race is over, it's Biden's. Bloomberg was a major bomb and Pocahontas came in 3rd in her home state. Say bye bye to those two losers. I think Comrade Bernie only hung on to California because of the early votes he got when most thought Biden was a non-starter. Also Sanders only got 51% of the vote in his home state of Vermont when he garnered 85% of the vote in 2016.

First, the good...it appears that even Dem voters are rejecting communism. At least in a large enough portion to keep Comrade Bernie from winning the nomination. Bye Bernie...go cry on AOC's shoulder. Better yet, wait until she's serving drinks again at some sleazy dive and drown your commie sorrows in a cheap drink. Vodka, of course, for the comrade.

Now...the general election: Trump vs. Biden. I have posted before that Biden would have beaten Trump in 2016. There was a significant anti-Killary vote that lifted Trump to victory. But much has changed since then. Biden's strength last night was in the South. He won't fair very well in November in the South. So! we have to wait to see how Biden does in some of the key midwestern states like Michigan and Ohio and in Pennsylvania.

Remember, as you follow this Dem primaries race, these are Dems voting. Americans will vote in November.

Texas didn’t disappoint.

I find the Texas results to be on par with what one would expect, given the events of "Super Thursday." I assume Texas has early voting, and as such, a good portion of Bernie's votes came from that. Not so much from voting yesterday.

Texas does have early voting but it hurt Biden as the Klobuchar and Pete votes were unable to be redirected.

The total combined tally for Pete and Amy K. was 6.37%. If you assume all of those would have gone to Biden that bumps him up to about 40%. But some of that vote would have gone to Bloomberg as well. So maybe Biden would have received another 4% or so. Still, the results are what one would have expected given how the day went. Texas is still mostly a "southern" state (although changing) and as such still leans to moderate and conservative vs. outright liberal.

The narrative going into the day was that Bernie was going to carry the state with the Latino vote.

Hopefully Bernie is toast now.

Bloomberg is out.
