    Okay, I really really don't agree lol. The vast majority of the country does not give a shit about Bernie saying that Joe Biden is his friend and could beat Trump. I really can't understand how that could be what sunk him, except for those of us on the old sub.

      I'll bite. I think it had a big impact. Not because people said to themselves, Bernie and Joe are friends. No one gives a shit about that. Its more Bernie was the only one with enough media juice and clout to articulate an assault against Hey Fat and push a narrative that framed Rapey McPuddlebrain in a bad light. He didn't do that. Joe literally stumbled into the no. 1 spot and Bernie didn't do shit to stop it.

        I still think you're assuming the general population saw the primary the same way we did. I don't think any of them needed or wanted to see an assault on Biden the way we did, because most of them don't hate Biden the way we do. They liked Bernie roughly the same or better but when the media told them he didn't stand a chance and was already losing they ate it up.

        The exit polling discrepancies still tell a different Super Tuesday story.
