talkpoliticsClear that Joe has risen from the dead. A bump from SC aong with Mayor Pete's and Klobuchar's endorsement, the centrists are coalescing around him. Just a week or so ago, Bernie was leading by approx 20 pts in CA.
This is why the Dem bosses wanted Biden, they felt he would pull the black vote. In states with large black populations they can traditionally count on 90+% black vote. Those are important to winning in 2020. Democrats must hold that high percentage. If the astroturf walkaway movement imagined by the right-wing sources somehow miraculously proves to be a thing, (15-30% of blacks voting Trump) then it will not matter, Trump will win big. So we will see how it plays out.
