She's talking to both Sanders and Biden. I imagine she'll go with whoever offers her the best deal. Biden has the better negotiating position right now, but there's no telling what he's already promised to get those pre-super tuesday endorsements. I don't think she wants to work with Sanders all that much, but she's pragmatic enough that she might take an offer from him if Biden isn't throwing her a bone.

After coming in third in her home state there are likely a swarm of Kennedies preparing to primary her, endorsing Biden would be the end of her career, and she hates Bernie. Most likely she won't endorse, but getting a seat on the winning campaign is also the only alternative to fighting off the Kennedy Swarm.

All of this is in face of her demonstrated...questionable political instincts or at least influence from Clinton staffers. There's no great play to make here - the wrong choice will be disastrous for her.

I'm not American, but I've been happily watching the results from across the pond. It's good to see Liberalism is on the rise again!

Yang seemed a bit out of his depth, but at least seemed to have his heart in the right place. She'll find someone more terrible to back.

The image of Bernie Bros being a bunch of bearded hipsters? So far as I know, none of the other candidates have stereotypically hirsute supporters.

You obviously missed out on the "Bears for Buttigieg" train.

From what I've seen, it's mostly women supporting Bernie.

Remember when Buttigieg's campaign bought up a huge number of X for Buttigieg websites, and hired people to pretend they were like 100 different grassroots campaigns that just happened to be named the same way, and a few of them screwed up and mentioned they worked for the main campaign? I don't know about you, but that huge failure was even funnier than when he hired a marketing team to find out what pronunciation of his name tested best with audiences.

Bring him back, he deserves more mockery.

Also, I'm disappointed I didn't get paid by Bloomberg to call people and tell them to vote for anyone but him.

Seriously. Time is a flat circle, rotating faster and faster.

I find it interesting how utterly irrelevant money has been this election. Biden is, inadvertently, getting money out of politics.
