Mayor Pete dropped out because they threatened to reveal his REAL birth certificate

Esch please post :jay so mods can add it

[EightBitNate]

Hmmm wonder what implications this has on ST. Dropping out now is such a rat thing to do.

[shosta]

I think one thing is clear - Super Tuesday will be a real test of whether an underdog campaign can take a South Carolina upset and emerge victorious against the most successful fundraiser in Democratic history. Can people power beat money in politics?

No love lost for Pete but I doubt you would have found it honorable if he dropped after the next round of primaries and extracted some more funding disingenuously till then.

[FStop7]

I assume he'll be Biden's VP if Biden pulls this off.

Even if Bernie busts, the implication of moving that money , and email list over to Our Revolution is exciting

The boss told him to drop out

Yes, yes, Nintex, we have video of it:

He said that other candidates including "Pete and Amy and Tom Steyer and others" should drop out before Super Tuesday to give Biden a better shot at beating Bernie Sanders.

"I’m hoping, tomorrow actually, some of the candidates decide to get out. If you do not have a pathway, let’s not wait until Super Tuesday,"

It’s just that Klob and Warren have yet to drop out, who I’d say are both in worse positions than him. If Biden’s victory had not been so resounding, than I doubt he’d dropped out. To me, it seems as though he’s banking on Biden winning and potentially securing a spot in his cabinet.

He should challenge Bernie to a push-up contest at the next debate.

[benjipwns]

He says they have enough money for the entire primary already.

Fuuuck

Yet he refuses to redistribute that money to struggling lower class candidates?

I don't know, maybe ? I would imagine a lack of funding or his absolutely abysmal appeal to black and minority voters would be more likely causes.

Plus the guy went from being the unknown mayor of a city of 100.000 to (inter)national recognition, it's already a major coup for him and probably as far as he could expect to rise this cycle.

Reads like a fanfic to me, but who knows. I know I'm going to drop off my ballot at work because it's a polling place, but that's just a convenience for me. If I didn't have that option, I'd mail it weeks ago.

Wishful thinking.

File it under similar theories like Rinoa is Ultimecia and the Illuminati.

[jakefromstatefarm]

the best case scenario being still 1200+ delegates away from 50%+1 after super tuesday cant be a good thing if youre trying to avoid a brokered convention right?

Obama lost his first primary for federal office too

[benjipwns]

Now Pete can recharge, wait for Bernie to get the nomination, and then with Bloomberg's money run an independent bid to save the country.

[shosta]

sure but (using the scenario that I chose and not even the best case one) if Bernie has 42% of the pledged delegates and Warren has 13%, there's no way that a brokered convention doesn't go his way. All the tough talk means nothing. Nobody is going to burn the party down against the will of 55% of the delegates.

“While Chuck is certainly free to express his political view as he sees fit — his voice alone does not speak for Public Enemy,” the letter states. “The planned performance will only be Chuck D of Public Enemy, it will not be a performance by Public Enemy. Those who truly know what Public Enemy stands for know what time it is, there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav.”

In a handwritten note at the bottom of the cease-and-desist, Flavor Flav wrote to Sanders, “Hey Bernie, don’t do this.”

You know what time it is.

Public Enemy announced Sunday they are permanently “moving forward” without Flavor Flav, firing one of hip-hop’s most memorable hypemen after 37 years. The abrupt dismissal comes just two days after the rapper sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bernie Sanders over Chuck D’s concert at the campaign’s Los Angeles rally Sunday.

“Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav,” the hip-hop legends said in a brief statement Sunday. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”

Not surprised though, Flav always has been... out there. So cutting him this many years later is probably a good thing for each of them.
