Ideological allies with significantly different bases of support. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images/2019 Getty Images Never one to show graciousness, President Trump greeted the news of the suspension of Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign instantly with this nasty crack aimed at sowing dissension in the Democratic ranks:

First of all, Biden’s margin over Sanders was larger than Warren’s total vote in five of the Super Tuesday states he carried . And you might as well add a sixth where Biden would have surely won anyway: Oklahoma, where his margin over Bernie means that virtually every single one of the 13.4 percent voting for Warren there would have had to pull the lever for Sanders to catapult him to victory.

Morning Consult, for instance, found that 43 percent of Warren supporters would opt for Sanders as their second choice, while 36 percent would choose Biden. And a recent Ipsos/Reuters poll found that Warren supporters’ second-choice loyalties were evenly split, with 47 percent picking Sanders, and 46 percent backing Biden.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren Calls For National Voting OverhaulElizabeth Warren has unveiled a plan that calls for $4 billion in new elections funding, 30 days of required early voting and a mail-in-ballot to be sent to every registered voter in the U.S. 'The pandemic has exposed how vulnerable our voting system is.' I do not care what Warren wants. Suggesting mail in ballots has an undertone of dishonesty. Right? Keep the polls open for days, even weeks. Show an ID, once you've voted once, that's enough. Run an honest election and see what happens... When you're losing, change the rule naturally

Bernie Sanders Drops Out Of Presidential Race, Ceding Nomination To BidenThe senator had a series of poor showings in Democratic primaries around the country, ending hopes for a progressive challenger to President Donald Trump. “Biden's cognitive issues have been evident for some time but just watch the same media who for four years have been declaring Donald Trump mentally and physically unfit for office have a collective meltdown when Biden's mental faculties are questioned” HuffPost So now the democrats are left with a 78-year old that sometimes seems to wonder what's up. Be wary of who he (or others) choses as the VP candidate. Yahooooooo🤣🤣
