The number of people loudly declaring "Biden can't win" while he's wrangling up red, swing, and states Bernie won in 2016 is astounding.

The number of people saying they'll refuse to vote for him, and rationalizing, conspiracy theorizing and dismissing his surge because they know better than everyone else is not even a little bit surprising.

Sanders super Tuesday spending: $18m
Biden super Tuesday spending: $2.2m
The path to the White House, and possibly even the Senate, is crystal clear to anyone who isn't purposefully blind to it.

.@eitanhersh and @RachelBitecofer agree: If Bloomberg actually wanted to make a difference, he’d drop out of the race and maybe take some important lessons to heart next time he tried running for office.

Here's @eitanhersh's analysis of what Bloomberg needs too understand before he even thinks about running again. #Bloomberg #SuperTuesday #supertuesday2020 #Primary2020 niskanencenter.org/what-rich-cent…
Here's another great conversation, featuring @eitanhersh and Yuval Levin, on how to make America's institutions stronger, rather than just throwing money or online commentary at our problems. From @MattGrossmann's #ScienceOfPolitics podcast. soundcloud.com/user-735940457…
On boards where "influence groups" strategize and organize, trumpists, alt-right, radicals on the right, echoed by Trump himself at the rallies and amplified by the Kremlin-funded trolls on social media encourage people to vote for #Sanders. Why? Thread, #supertuesday2020 
The rationale is simple: Sanders is "the weakest candidate" because the rural and mid-America will not vote for a "communist" or "socialist" and Trump will have an easy win. (Debates about Sanders' views distract from the reality of Trump's re-election, irrelevant.) #supertuesday
The US and the world might not survive 4 yrs of Trump as he is going to ruin the environment, judicial system, democracy as we know it. No matter how great are the promises of healthcare for all or free education, we need to face the existing political landscape & stay realistic.
I’d like to make a few suggestions for how Americans engage the next few weeks of primaries—through #SuperTuesday. 1/ #Election2020
1. Renounce Fear. We are our weakest when fear is our motivator. Fear leads us away from our truest hearts. It disconnects us from our dreams and stunts imagination. Fear is a liar that tells us there is no God, so we must dominate the other to save ourselves. #FearisFakeNews 2/
2. Don’t be a pundit. BE A CITIZEN. Citizenship is a near sacred compact. It is about connection/commitment to place and people. Pundits sit on high and spin predictions. Our work is to CONNECT with our friends, families, communities. LISTEN/SHARE our visions for our nation. 3/
Hey what kids did Sanders put in cages?

Ok. I've been trying to keep quiet but all the instant experts are getting a little carried away. So here's some pro tips. Well not pro, but 'unreasonably addicted to politics' amateur tips...

1. Iowa is like 103% white. Biden's strengths are not white midwesterners. He never had a chance at top two in Iowa.

2. Iowa is a caucus state. All Buttigieg's surge there really means is that he has awareness (he's from the midwest) and he was a comfortable consolation prize for people whose original choice didn't hit the 15% threshold.

Klobuchar basically came out and delivered a victory speech. As long as Pete Buttigieg doesn’t close the gap with Bernie Sanders to something like 1%, or overtake Bernie, Amy’s strong 3rd place finish will be the story #NHprimary2020 #NewHampshirePrimary #NexstarDC
Having said that, #MayorPete could steal the show if by the end of the night he’s within a point or so of #Bernie #NewHampshirePrimary #Primary2020
I take @VanJones68’a point-but I wouldn’t say voters are depressed. “Confused” about who they’re supposed to vote for is more apt. Their priority is “Beat Trump” -still early, these voters don’t have a lot of contests to look back on and see who’s winning #NHprimary #NexstarDC
