3/1 Buttigieg Suspends Campaign; Bernie Rallies in South California & OT

The Progressive Wing Posted on March 1, 2020 by BennyMarch 1, 2020

Down goes Buttigieg! Down goes Buttigieg! @nytimes reporting @PeteButtigieg is dropping out! Two reasons why: 1. Donors are telling moderates to consolidate. He is most responsive to donors. 2. He didn’t want to have embarrassing numbers on Super Tuesday on his record.

How Sweet It is!

Bernie Sanders surges to the lead among Wisconsin Democratic voters in new statewide poll

ermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has opened a commanding lead over his rivals in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary race after strong performances in early-voting states, according to a new statewide poll.

The Wisconsin poll, coordinated by the UW-Madison Elections Research Center in collaboration with the Wisconsin State Journal, also shows a precipitous decline in support for former Vice President Joe Biden and an upswing for the newcomer to the race, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Sanders, who won the state’s 2016 presidential primary, was the top choice for 30% of registered voters intending to vote in the Democratic primary on April 7. The five other top Democratic contenders besides Sanders find themselves scrabbling for second place with between 9% and 13% support.

“Bernie Sanders is clearly the leader among Democrats,” said UW-Madison political science professor Barry Burden, who has developed a new battleground state polling project in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania through his Elections Research Center. “He has a pretty commanding position.”

Despite Sanders’ position in the primary, he doesn’t fare much better in the general election than the other Democratic contenders, who each have slight leads over President Donald Trump in a hypothetical match-up, but all within the poll’s margin of error.

“In the general, who the nominee is didn’t do much to change what voters’ likely intentions were,” Burden said.

Sanders also leads among Democratic primary voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania, but by smaller margins, the poll found.

The poll was conducted Feb. 11-20 by YouGov, which has also done polls for CBS News, The Economist and other news outlets.

The opt-in online poll includes 1,000 registered voters in Wisconsin, 1,300 in Michigan and 1,300 in Pennsylvania. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1, 3.4 and 3.2 percentage points, respectively. For the Democratic primary voter sample in Wisconsin the margin of error is plus or minus 6 percentage points. The sample was selected and weighted to reflect the adult population in each state based on gender, age, race and education.

WASHINGTON – Following Sen. Sanders’ victory in New Hampshire, Bernie 2020 on Friday released a slate of over fifty state Co-Chairs across all Super Tuesday states.

2/14 TGIF – TPW Valentine’s Evening & Open Thread

The Progressive Wing Posted on February 14, 2020 by BennyFebruary 14, 2020

Birdies – it’s Friday, which calls for a TGIF post and cocktails/mocktails!

LD is on route to Mesquite, TX (southern suburb of Dallas) to catch Bernie at his first Texas rally!

Bernie Sanders holds rally in Mesquite Friday night

Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders will hold a rally in North Texas Friday to talk with supporters, as a new Texas poll puts him slightly on top.

Voters arrived early to the event in Mesquite. It’s set to start at 7 p.m., but lines started to form earlier than that.

Of all the candidates in the Democratic primary this year, it’s Sanders who usually attracts the biggest and most enthusiastic crowds. He’ll be at the Mesquite Arena, a venue with a seating capacity of 5,500.

Sanders is currently the Democratic front-runner. That fact is a source of concern for many in the party establishment who worry how a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist would fare against President Donald Trump in November.

But there is more good news for Sanders’ campaign that was just released Friday morning. The latest polls from the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune show he is the favorite among likely Democratic voters to win the Texas primary on March 3.

We’re looking forward to getting on the ground reports!
