I was talking about 2020 where he lost due to poor turnout but okay.

Biden, whose campaign fortunes had suffered from losses in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, made a comeback by overwhelmingly winning the South Carolina primary, motivated by strong support from African American voters, an endorsement from South Carolina U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn, as well as Democratic establishment concerns about nominating Sanders.[8] After Biden won South Carolina, and one day before the Super Tuesday primaries, several candidates dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden in what was viewed as a consolidation of the party's moderate wing. Prior to the announcement, polling saw Sanders leading with a plurality in most Super Tuesday states.[9] Biden then won 10 out of 15 contests on Super Tuesday, beating back challenges from Sanders, Warren, and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, solidifying his lead.[9]

Most of those "moderates" who dropped out the day before Super Tuesday and endorsed Biden went on to be rewarded with cabinet positions...

If you were running a campaign, and you wanted to win, would you pick 24 hrs before a bunch of states voted to drop out?

Or would you wait another day to see how you did?

Like, this is literally the primary after the DNC said they could interfere in any primary, and you think that was organic that they all dropped at once and endorsed the party favorite right before Super Tuesday?

It went from Sanders being projected to win the most, to Biden getting 10/15.

Do you think Biden and the DNC were ignorant it was going to happen?

You think they told Bernie it was going to happen?

How could anyone expect him to react in 15 states within 24 hrs?
