I think Biden gets victories in South Carolina and possibly Nevada, Buttigieg got the most delegates in Iowa followed by Sanders, Sanders will probably get the most in New Hampshire. Bloomberg will probably pick up a few Super Tuesday states. Bottom line is that this field is polling very tight. No one appears to be breaking away from the pack like we saw with Trump in the Republican primaries in 2016, and none of the 6 leaders appears to be going anywhere soon.

Biden is done. He just doesn't realize it yet.

If by some chance Biden does not win South Carolina, does he face DNC pressure to drop out before Super Tuesday? One would think most of his supporters would go to Buttigieg.

If they try to keep Biden in the game, I think it would be way to obvious the fix is in. Biden is a wrap and a waste of time and money.

But I think his support could turn to Klobuchar. She’s has bitch slap Warren out of the picture.

Biden may pull out a close one in SC, but he isn’t winning Nevada or possibly any other state.

He has made the jeb bush 2016 campaign look like a masterpiece.

why would he be strong in SC when he is 5th place in Iowa and NH?

he's falling off real quick....people see he's old, tired, and has nothing to offer America...

been in Washington since 1973... He's the establishment, he's part of what created such a spending deficit, all our issues are on his watch...

#FifthPlaceJoe is done.

#MayorCheat has most of the momentum, but Klobuchar is doing surprisingly well. Bernie Bros are going to get very upset on Super Tuesday, although he will probably do well on the West Coast.

Biden's toast.

Strange as it may sound, Amy Cockblocker could be the last one standing when the dust settles. The higher profile candidates and the media will take turns swiping at each other and she may stay below the fray enough to surprise.

Minorities which, he believes will break for hi, bigly. I think he’s done no matter what but that’s his game plan.

They said the same thing about the GOP in 2016. I wouldn't be so sure, but it will be interesting either way.

They did say that, until Trump started winning everything outright.

Yes Biden drops out. I think his white base goes to Bloomberg. I have zero clue where black voters are going to end up (probably whoever Obama endorses)

I think a brokered convention is really possible because none of the "moderates" (LOL) are dropping out anytime soon....but that leads to another scenario.

If Bernie keeps racking up 1st & 2nd place victories and is the "winner" of Super Tuesday, you could see the people just start falling in line behind him because they are fearful of what a long primary/brokered convention would do to the party and the chances of beating Trump.

I think if the Dems don't want Bernie, then they need to start rallying behind one candidate quickly.

Can you imagine a scenario where Bernie goes to a brokered convention as the leader and someone else gets the nod? That's a nightmare

I would have agreed with this last summer, but in recent months and his poor showing in the debates, he will need a miracle to overcome his miscues and it still won't be enough to carry him to the nomination.
The Party he represented in the past is gone and he is not the one to bring it back together.

Six months ago I would have said 'OK, that's possible.'
Today, Biden can't draw flies. And he's following Hillary's strategy of almost never speaking in public because he's an incoherent babbler.
