Here's my take and a little about why.:<span class=ydpddfa675e3l3x>Personally I don't think Joe is the chosen one. I believe his job was to blunt Bernie's momentum at this stage to prevent a first or second round win at the convention. Then he'll become a sacrificial offering at the altar of Hillary who i believe has been running the show, She;ll have a good argument to make, She beat Trump by THREE MILLION popular votes but tripped over her own arrogance and sense of entitlement and acted like the electoral college didn't exist. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:14.65pt'><span class=ydpddfa675e3l3x><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue","serif";color:#C0504D'>Trump's team played the electoral college extremely well. She can make the argument that if she wins by half as many popular votes as last time but pays more attention to the electoral votes, she'll be president. I don't think that's necessarily a correct conclusion but its good argument. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:14.65pt'><span class=ydpddfa675e3l3x><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue","serif";color:#C0504D'>The narrative was that Biden won in states where he didn't even spend any money, That may be true - or not - but SOMEONE spent a lot of money for Super Tuesday to happen the way it did, And we know Hillary's planning for Super Tuesday began at least as far back as the first planning stages of her four part documentary produced by HULU. Great strategy. The film was a vehicle to every talk show on every major outlet ostensibly to push the film but allowing her to launch one-sided attacks on Bernie because in that context there wasn't any requirement for a chance for Bernie to respond. And the networks didn't care. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:14.65pt'><span class=ydpddfa675e3l3x><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue","serif";color:#C0504D'>The rollout for the premiere (after a special showing at Sundance) had her on TV screens immediately before Tuesday and on Tuesday as well. There she was on Good Morning America on Super Tuesday morning going after Bernie with abandon. And she was brutal. The film is "reintroducing Hillary to America" over four weekly parts. It will probably be re-aired in June. She's not stopping till she's president or dead. That same morning while I was looking for something on YouTube a half-screen size ad came on my flat screen that said "Medicare for All will double your income tax". It was sponsored by a phony front org. I'm sure that wasn't the only place it was seen. Someone - maybe Uncle Bloomberg or may be a superpac - was shelling out some big bucks.</span></span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue","serif";color:#C0504D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
