Hey All,

First, Bernie is still in the game and we still have a real fight on our hands, but last night was obviously really rough and cause for reflection. This show and community is about that, and we will be ready to explore how we can do better and maybe even other paths to change. Appreciate all of you so much and the depth of what we get to cover, also we promise some more comedy as well. Just checking in and giving appreciation. TMBS

I would even center the whole movement on the I-10 corridor and work north. The Democratic Party has nothing to offer the Spanish working class. It’s so disconnected from the north east boarding school culture that seems to just permeate the democratic pundits. You could drive a Buick through this gap.

Really disappointed with the apathetic youth vote, but super proud of Latinx turnout. Not sure if anything Bernie could have done differently would have really mattered.

1. Bernie is still in it, but the campaign has to win Michigan next week. Won't be easy. 2. Part of the challenge here is that we really do have to run a near perfect campaign to get the nomination -- it's a higher bar than any campaign has ever cleared before in a primary, but that's the deal. 3. The campaign ran a perfect set of races through the first three states -- as good as could be imagined. Even the Super Tuesday strategy was on the mark. Where the campaign may have missed and where this all might have turned was in South Carolina. Bloomberg helped to divert focus, the party was able to stage a debate that diverted attention from issues. The Sanders campaign missed an opportunity in its messaging to continue highlighting Biden's record on Social Security, and to run the kind of ads that they are running with Obama now in Florida. I believe that South Carolina is the only state where the campaign was outspent by everyone not named Tom Steyer (before Super Tuesday). They were behind all other campaigns. A closer loss would have made it harder to spin the narrative coming out of Super Tuesday. 4. The party establishment executed the "comeback" strategy flawlessly, using the thin reed that they needed -- Biden's win in SC -- to generate $100 million in free media and key endorsements right before the votes on Super Tuesday. Obama's intervention behind the scenes was critical. It would be ironic if his intervention in this race, all but guaranteed Trump a second term. Hopefully we can avoid that outcome. 5. At this stage, Sanders probably does need a Warren endorsement to generate some positive buzz going into the next contest. Regardless, they just have to press on. If Warren really is about the policy, she will, and she's going to deserve credit for sticking her neck out in a way that is going to fundamentally change the party, and her relationship to the party, in a way that leaves no room for retreat. Either way, we press on. It doesn't get easier, but there is still a path, and there is no other way. If Sanders campaign and movement are able to overcome this set-back, it will serve us well in the next stage of the election process.

Bloomberg actually won. He got in to make sure Sanders wasn’t the nominee. By drawing fire during two debates from Warren and Sanders, leaving Biden relatively unscathed and able to recoup, and now surge, he may have accomplished that.

Some of Bernie's great strengths are his fundamental honesty and empathy. Those also make it hard to play to win in politics. He was too easy on Biden, and that may be his undoing. He needs to swing really fucking hard and never say “Joe is my friend” again. Cuz Joe ain’t his.

There is no Warren, only a tooooooool.

Donated more to Bernie last night and still going at it, Bernie needs to take the gloves off and stop saying joe is a friend and he needs to remind folks it’s people like Biden are part of the problem.

Beautiful words. In a strange way, it’s a comfort that Trump won last time, because no one expected it. I hope to see all the nay-sayers vanquished as Bernie sweeps into the White House in about 10 months.
