America believes in education:
the average professor earns more money in a year than
a professional athlete earns in a whole week.

Super Tuesday Round III
Well, informally Biden has clinched the Democratic nomination, not mathematically (he has about 57% of the delegates he needs) but Comrade Bernie is behind by nearly 300 delegates and there aren't any big states where he'll be able to close the gap. (New York and Pennsylvania, about 5 weeks away, favor Biden by maybe 20 points.) 538 now shows Biden with a >99% chance of winning the nomination. Ohio postponed its primary because of the coronavirus (same with Louisiana and Georgia), but all 3 will go to Biden. The next major state primary is WI in about 3 weeks.If I sound a bit relieved, I really didn't want the election to be over socialism. I think Biden is more mainstream and willing to negotiate.
The only question is whether Biden has been pushed so leftward to lose his centrist appeal in the general election. I think, however, Trump may be bogged down in coronavirus economic impact; Trump's biggest advantage is the economy, and any whiff of a recession plays into the hands of the Dem social welfare net.
Make no mistake; I don't support any of the 3 and intend to vote Libertarian this fall.
