What did I miss?
nevermind. I found it. LOL.
Someone on twitter just got a verbal lashiing for saying she hopes Warren doesn't drop out just to make men uncomfortable.
The lashing she got was from people saying her brand of feminism is "White" and apparently not "woke" enough FFS
And then
People lahsed out against her saying their lives depended on universal healthcare and if she still supported Warren they may die. WTF
Take some personal responsibility people and allow someone a right to an opinion. Holy Cow!

I see shit like this all the fucking time. Why the hell do you think half of 'murica can't stand the `tolerant left'. If you don't fully agree with them, they call you racist, bigot and bully. Hell, even on this forum, just look at the way the vulture's dive every time Maggot posts something good about Trump. The extreme right does the same thing, hell, I've been called a snowflake so many fucking times, my body temp should be 0 degrees.

We haven't seen the last of him and it wouldn't surprise me at all to one day see him as president. He's very young, 37/38, he has a future in politics. Him and his team ran an amazing campaign, I hope they all feel proud of themselves.
If Buttigieg endorses Biden and becomes one of his surrogates, I think it could be a big advantage for Biden. Buttigieg has a big enough support base to make a significant difference (and it doesn't seem likely to me that Buttigieg's supporters will flock to Klobuchar given her current delegate standing).

I'm not sure whether it was GMA, or my local news, but I saw a clip where Biden says he is glad that the butt guy dropped out, because now he has a chance to overtake Bernie. He also alluded to wanting butt guy in his cabinet, should he win.
I was actually willing to vote for butt guy, but I will never, ever vote for Biden.
I see that caravans are back in the news too.
I'm reading that Amy intendeds to suspend her campaign. She'll announce it tonight at a rally in Texas and endorse Joe Biden.
Amy Klobuchar just dropped out, and she endorsed Joe Biden.
That's probably really good for Biden, especially in potential to get more votes/delegates in her home state of Minnesota on Tuesday.
If Warren ends up dropping out soon, I wonder if she'll be the one former candidate to get behind Bernie.
If Warren gets behind Biden instead, it will be an even bigger boost for him -- she has a strong base and ground game. We know she won't be supporting Bloomberg, that's for sure.

Jinx! Sorry about that Duchess; posting at the same time.
Reuters is reporting that Mayor Pete intends to endorse Joe Biden as well.

I bet you're right (and wish I knew what it was!).
Warren's kinda positioned herself as the more progressive alternative to Biden and the more moderate alternative to Bernie, so it's hard to say which (if either) she'll get behind if she gets out of the race before the convention.
She'd be wooed and have a lot of negotiating power with both, I imagine.

That makes me suspicious for some reason. They've showed little interest in the subject before now except for Wray.
