    The logic of the situation for the last year has really dictated that there be a centrist consolidation. It's happening around Biden, who I think is a weaker general candidate than some of his rival centrists (say, Klobuchar, Harris or Booker).https://twitter.com/annasproul/status/1234312206474457088 …

    I like Biden just fine, AND seeing all these coordinated pro-Biden tweets, I feel like I’m Newland Archer at the end of Age of Innocence, at the moment he realizes that the family wagons have circled and He Will Be Remaining With Wife.

        IMHO too soon to tell how this will impact the race. Most Pete voters supported him because he seemed like a nice young man. Regular people don't think about ideology in the same way MSM does.

        100% Three would-be Pete voters at dinner earlier today. Warren is second choice for each of us. The thing they have in common: being brainy.

        But his rival centrists are just not viable candidates any more.

        Biden is the only one who can walk into the White House and go to work. No learning curve - or the least possible. Not my first choice but I'm behind him now. For the good of our country. For the future.

        The irony is that Bloomberg got into the race drawing Biden's supporters... now they don't know what to do. Have bloomberg drop out, only to see Biden lose the rest of his marbles. Or keep Bloomberg in, drawing ~15% of the vote.

        I was for Harris with Booker and Castro in my next tier, then Warren. But better Biden than Bernie or Bloomberg.

        Been canvassing in Bay Area - Democratic & Independent voters view Warren as “moderate.” I’ve met no one who links her w/Bernie. One met it head on - “I’m more in the middle and I like what Warren has to say. People say she’s really left but don’t see that - what do you think.”

        I agree he's a good centrist consolidation. But if you think he's a weaker candidate than Klobuchar, Harris, or Booker, I think you underestimate racism and sexism.

        This is gonna bump Warren and Bloomberg just enough to get over the 15% threshold for delegates in numerous states. A contested convention more likely, a Sanders nomination far less likely.
