UPDATE #3 Houston, we have a problem. Look at the delegate allocation change in California. Bernie and Biden should increase proportionally about the same or more for Bernie. The opposite is happening – #Fuckery Bernie +12 Biden +23
(March 6, 2020)
Pay attention to the narrative they’re building. The Bernie delegates will not be awarded until they’ve stolen Michigan for Biden.
Then the only thing you’ll hear is calls for Bernie to drop out.
This has been the plan from the beginning. #RiggedPrimary
So Biden is up 76 delegates (627-551) right now but for some reason there are 162 outstanding delegates not allocated yet and 153 of those are in Colorado, Utah, and California three states Bernie won. When are they going to update the delegates? It has been 3 full days now.

Delegate Tracker
Texas, March 3, delegates:
Biden: 111

Warren: 5
So, #Bernie lost in Texas by a lot right? Or did he? ? Final Count of Texas Delegates: ? Biden 111 ? Bernie 102 ? Bloomberg 10 ? Warren 5 ✅ A 9 delegate difference is not significant. But the huge number of delegates #Bernie2020 gained in California was astounding.
1344 pledged delegates at stake tonight
California (415)
Texas (228)
North Carolina (110)
Virginia (99)
Massachusetts (91)
Minnesota (75)
Colorado (67)
Tennessee (64)
Alabama (52)
Oklahoma (37)

Bernie Sanders faces pivotal clash as Democratic establishment joins forces against him
Bernie Sanders has spent his entire campaign saying this day would come.
Now, it‘s here.
Operation Bernie Block Is in Full Effect
There’s a whiff of desperation to this move. It’s not hard to see why: If Sanders, who leads in the delegate count, performs well in delegate-rich states such as Texas and California, he might be unstoppable on his way to winning the nomination at the convention this summer.
That’s an unacceptable outcome to a powerful bloc of the Democratic Party. It’s why Buttigieg and Klobuchar have moved so quickly to endorse Biden. It’s why Sanders opponents started Super PAC called the Big Tent Project to run advertisements criticizing Sanders as a radical who would lose to Trump.
Amy Klobuchar will end 2020 presidential campaign and endorse Joe Biden
Sen. Amy Klobuchar will end her presidential bid on Monday and endorse Joe Biden, a campaign aide tells CNN.
The Klobuchar campaign confirmed that the senator is flying to Dallas to join the former vice president at his rally, where she will suspend her campaign and give her endorsement on the eve of Super Tuesday.
Protesters force Klobuchar to cancel rally in home state of Minnesota
Activists are upset with the case of a black teen sentenced to life in prison while Klobuchar was the county‘s prosecutor.
Biden races to lock down moderates as Buttigieg exit rocks rapidly shifting Democratic race
Joe Biden is moving closer to consolidating the support of moderate Democratic voters and donors after a resounding victory in South Carolina and Pete Buttigieg‘s departure from the party‘s presidential race.
Buttigieg‘s exit is better for Biden than Sanders
Let‘s start with the simple fact that Biden has been hovering around the 15% threshold for delegates in a number of states, including the huge Super Tuesday delegate prize of California. Biden was at 13% in a CNN/SSRS poll conducted there. Buttigieg was at 7%. If Biden gets two points of that 7%, it could make all the difference in the world to him. That alone could net Biden dozens or more of delegates.
Buttigieg is out as Democrats march toward Super Tuesday and beyond
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders holds substantial leads in the two largest states to vote in this week‘s Super Tuesday lineup of primaries, according to new CNN polls conducted by SSRS in California and Texas.
Trump: Buttigieg dropping out is start of Dems ‚taking Bernie out of play‘
Trump predicted in a tweet that the majority of Buttigieg‘s votes in Super Tuesday states would go to Biden, thereby hamstringing Sanders‘s chances of obtaining the Democratic nomination.
„Pete Buttigieg is OUT,“ Trump wrote. „All of his SuperTuesday votes will go to Sleepy Joe Biden. Great timing. This is the REAL beginning of the Dems taking Bernie out of play – NO NOMINATION, AGAIN!“
CNN polls: Bernie Sanders holds big leads in California and Texas ahead of critical Super Tuesday vote
Decisive wins for a single candidate in California and Texas — states which will award more than 600 of the 1,991 delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination — could change the tenor of a race that has at times seemed headed for a protracted fight.
Democratic delegate rules, 2020
In 2020, there will be an estimated 4,532 delegates: 3,768 pledged delegates and 764 automatic delegates—more commonly known as superdelegates.[1]
To win the Democratic nomination, a presidential candidate must receive support from a majority of the pledged delegates on the first ballot—an estimated 1,885 pledged delegates. If the convention is contested and goes to a second ballot or more, automatic delegates will be able to vote and a candidate must receive majority support from all delegates—an estimated 2,267 delegates
