Make no bones about it: Super Tuesday Loves Superman Biden!
Politics
After his campaign was left for dead only a week ago, former Vice-President Joe Biden resurrected his fledgling presidential hopes with a huge win on Saturday in South Carolina. Then came suspended campaigns from Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, who each joined former candidate Beto O’Rourke in an 11th-hour endorsement of ‘Uncle Joe.’
And then, Super Tuesday happened.
On Tuesday night, Joe Biden regained his frontrunner status and reinvented himself as Superman with unprecedented and historic wins from sea to shining sea.
Massachusetts proved Super Tuesday loves Superman Biden (beating Elizabeth Warren, who came in 3rd place in her own state). Virginia proved Super Tuesday loves Superman Biden. Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee also proved Super Tuesday loves Superman Biden. As of this writing, Biden is also leading by a slim margin in Maine and — get this — is poised to win in Texas.
Ironically, Biden ran out of campaign funds weeks ago, never spent a dime on commercial ads and never even campaign in most of these states. In fact, he never expected to win most of them — but on Tuesday night, he did.
In contrast, Biden’s closest competitor, Bernie Sanders took home only 3 wins in Colorado, Utah, and his home state of Vermont. As of this writing, he is also leading in California, but that state is still too close to call.
Since the Democratic primaries are not a “winner-take-all” contest and delegates are awarded proportionately, Super Tuesday was a huge night for Joe Biden, who now has 337 delegates, compared to 224 for Bernie Sanders. To win the Democratic nomination, 1,991 are required. Based on the Democratic system, both Biden and Sanders could theoretically share 1/2 of the California and Texas delegates and Biden could still remain squarely in 1st place.
Biden’s support among African-American and older voters, particularly in the south, proved to be golden for his campaign hopes. Bernie’s support among younger voters and those living in western states proved valuable to his presidential hopes.
As for Elizabeth Warren, her poor showing in each of the previous primary races and an absolutely embarrassing loss in her own home state of Massachusetts has underlined the writing on the wall for her campaign. Expect Warren to drop out and lend support to either Biden or Sanders any day now. The same goes for Michael Bloomberg, who spent half a billion dollars of his own fortune on his campaign and still has zero return on his now poor investment. He is reportedly “reassessing” his campaign and is expected to drop out perhaps as early as Wednesday.

The biggest loser tonight, by far, is Mini Mike Bloomberg. His “political” consultants took him for a ride. $700 million washed down the drain, and he got nothing for it but the nickname Mini Mike, and the complete destruction of his reputation. Way to go Mike!

Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, other than Mini Mike, was the loser of the night. She didn’t even come close to winning her home state of Massachusetts. Well, now she can just sit back with her husband and have a nice cold beer!

Yes, this is now a 2 man race. Joe Biden vs. Bernie Sanders, with Biden currently ahead in the delegate race.
On Tuesday night, political pundits compared Joe Biden to Lazarus (from the bible) coming back to life — and it was a fitting comparison. Super Tuesday loves Superman Biden and this now appears to be all but Biden’s nomination to lose.

DJ, I’m at work (I always get here early) but I’ll definitely be hanging out here all day….lol
“I’ve never seen anybody mount a comeback like this — ever,” Matt Seyfang, an expert delegate counter who had worked for Pete Buttigieg, said of Biden’s unexpected rout. – Politico
A lot of Us were hopeful that Biden would have a good night but this…THIS was incredible! I watched all of the results come in from the very beginning and with every projection I felt more confident that Joe was in for a big night. But I didn’t think he’d win Texas….UNTIL about 11:15 pm when a newspaper guy from Houston came on MSNBC and gave a heads-up that based on the numbers rolling in from Harris County (Houston) it was beginning to look like Biden was poised to actually win Texas. And he did!
The whole night was incredible!
