      Bloomberg advisers continue to stoke Dem alarm about Sanders. At a private briefing in Charleston last week, a senior Bloomberg aide said Florida would be "off the map" with Bernie was nominee. And @MayorBowser said Sanders had "cult-like" supporters.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-party.html …

      For months, Biden left friendly Dems staring at their phones, neglecting to call natural allies. In NV, Biden hoped to win support from Gov. Sisolak, the Culinary & Harry Reid. Days before caucuses, Reid said it had been weeks since he heard from Biden.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-party.html …

      As for Sanders, he made overtures to moderate Dems at different points last year. But not recently – his advisers have hoped to make peace after a big win on 3/3. That may have been a risky bet. But this is what his pitch might sound like. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-party.html …pic.twitter.com/uzRKEPMhN8

      Pete/Amy endorsements came together at the last minute. On Thurs, Buttigieg insisted to Hill Dems that he would not withdraw despite acknowledging the field needed to narrow. And w/Warren & Bloomberg still fighting, convention scenario very much alive ...https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-party.html …

      It could be hours or months before Dems know who their presidential nominee is likely to be, but at least one Dem leader is already gaming out the second spot on the ticket for whoever that person is. Folks ... it's Chuckpic.twitter.com/J9H1OlYyap

      There's a lot more in the story than in this thread, so I hope you will spend some time between now and the time polls close tomorrow with this doorstopper from @jmartNYT & mehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-party.html …

      This is also probably the first story I've done with a headline that could also be the title of my coming-of-age memoirpic.twitter.com/y37iz9IOV2

          A great piece of reportage in which you two earn your Germond/Witcover stripes. Didn't realize the extent to which Biden ran a bad campaign until now.

          All this worry and anxiety! “...a party establishment that spent many months distressed about the implications of nominating Mr. Sanders....” Yet you never identify the true source of the anxiety. Who or what forces establishment Democrats to reject #NotMeUs? Afraid to say?
