Biden wins South Carolina

[audiophile]

Looks like he got more than 50% in SC.

Just like I predicted 15 days ago when virtually everybody else was predicting when Biden would drop out.

The talking point among conservatives the past few days has been that Biden is done and that the only question is when will he drop out.

I completely disagree. He still leads in South Carolina, and their primary comes several days BEFORE Super Tuesday. I think Biden will find new life after winning South Carolina, and after Super Tuesday, there will be no clear front-runner.

I didn't question your prediction

Steyer is gone so whatever little support he had is gonna be reallocated... Buttigieg and Klobuchar should be gone after Super Tuesday... maybe Bloomberg gets the hint too?

A three way race between Warren, Sanders and Biden would give Biden the advantage.

To me Bloomberg is still the wild card that will be revealed Tuesday when his name finally starts showing up on the ballots. He bought 3 minutes on CBS and NBC tonight around 8:30 to address the nation on Covid-19. The video is up on the web already so he is just flexing his money muscle. I don't think he will be the nominee but his money should allow him to stay in for a while unless he is totally blown out on Tuesday. Mayor Pete should start working on an exit plan as he couldn't even best Steyer and I think in the end it will be Bernie and Biden with the Super Delegates giving it to Biden.

That debate performance really, really helped Biden...BIG TIME.

Next debate isn't until March 15, long after Super Tuesday. That hurts Klobuchar, Buttigieg, Warren and Bloomberg.

I think Bloomberg's flip-flopping on stop & frisk, the auto bailout (his spin on that is even more laughable than his "apology" for stop & frisk), and the perception that he is trying to buy the nomination will all translate to a ho-hum Super Tuesday performance. I think he'll do just well enough to warrant remaining in the race, but I think Biden and Sanders will both have better nights than him. Buttigieg and Klobuchar are the wild cards; can one or both do well enough to sustain continuation of their campaigns? I think Warren is toast.

An easier path to the nomination might be lining up for Feisty Joe Biden. I am growing very nervous about my longstanding prediction that he will not be the Dem nominee.

This year I finally put my money where my mouth is. And thus far it is going quite well. This is the biggest bet I've made on PI to date and I have nearly tripled my money. Gonna hold my shares for now.

[Honeyman]

Well done! When did you place that, bmw?

[bmw]

I bought most of those shares at 15 cents on 2/24 - so barely a week ago. I bought some more at 28 cents on the 28th (hence, why the average says 16 instead of 15). I almost got in even a week earlier at 10 cents but I wanted to see some more polling out of South Carolina before being confident enough put money in.

[Honeyman]

Good call....I think. Dont wanna jinx your (hopeful) winner.

I took Weld to win the GOP at 10,000,000-1

[bmw]

Made almost another $1,000 tonight. Those 42 cent shares are now worth 72 cents. I'm now up nearly $1800.

I will probably cash out if Biden cracks 80 cents in the next few days.

[Turkeytop]

But if Bernie doesn't become the nominee, his base of very energized supporters may just sit it out on election day.

[audiophile]

Why do you believe that?

If Biden has the plurality of delegates, is he the nominee? He very clearly is suffering from dementia or some other type of rapid mental faculty decline. Last night, he introduced his wife as his little sister.

[audiophile]

Sure that wasn't a joke?

He also said "I'm Joe's husband".
