  I read it somewhere (cough, facebook) that mayor Pete is dropping out too.

  Hi spiro,
  
  Yep – just saw the same at SV. Supposedly an official announcement tonight at 8:30.
  
  That will leave: Bernie – Biden – Bloomberg – Gabbard – Klobuchar – Warren. Is there anyone else?

    Though I suspect most of what he’d cook would be blanched and soaked in a flavourless white sauce.

  Good news for Biden, I guess.
  
  Biden should fall heir to most Mayor Pete voters.

    after Biden cleaned up in SC, they decided they’d need to c lear a path for him. They’ll run Klobuchar out next, I’d imagine.

  I doubt that Petey ever does anything for a pure-hearted purpose.
  
  Everyone (independent media) had noted weeks ago that he has no path to the nomination after New Hampshire. I think he is acknowledging that and has made a deal with Bloomberg or Biden (or his spook puppet-masters have) so that he can donate all his illicitly-gained delegates to whoever’s been deemed the Bernie-stopper.
  
  If indeed part of Super Tuesday is earmarked for being electro-vote skewed, then the Petey dropout can help the narrative that B. or B. surged in a way that was unexpected a mere few days ago!

  Actually surprised he would quit before Super Tuesday.
  
  Not that I was expecting him to do very well, but given his arrogance (and his billionaire donors), I thought HE did!

  Cenk thought it was good news for progressives not I understand that rational. He thought Pete's donors told him to drop out so the anti-Bernie crowd can go to whomever.
  
  I refuse to call them moderates because they aren’t. They are right wing. Anyway not sure I understand why it’s a good thing for progressives.

    Because Bernie will pick up a substantial chunk of his voters, that's why.
    
    Many voters don’t look at candidates through an ideological lens. For example, the #2 choice of most Biden voters is Bernie. If memory serves, the #2 choice of Pete voters is Warren. This might be an attempt to help her in Massachusetts.

  Good riddance to the insufferable prick exiting the stage
  
  One less reactionary ratfucking red-baiting weasel for Sanders to have to deal with. Fuck this insufferable prick and his corporate supporters. This is the last call for the Democratic Party. They will move left or they will implode from the weight of their reaction. Let the chips fall where they may. Sanders is gonna clean up Tuesday anyway.
