Sanders and Biden have given a lot of signals that they're going to run

Florida: 76 delegates
Illinois: 80 delegates
Kansas: 27 delegates
Lousiana: 15 delegates
Maine: 19 delegates
Michigan: 77 delegates
Mississippi: 6 delegates
Missouri: 37 delegates
Nebraska: 19 delegates
North Carolina: 50 delegates
North Mariana Islands: 3 delegates
Ohio: 67 delegates

So that would complicate things

@Walter Johnson yeah, but they're really old

maybe they still run, but this scenario assumes they don't for simplicity

so is Warren

Warren

>Born: June 22, 1949 (age 69 years), Oklahoma City, OK

hmm, I suppose so

I mean, she'd at least be younger than Trump

Yeah even if they run they would have a big dissadvantage

maybe Booker and Harris can play their youth as a strength

since they're FUCKING WHITE MALES!!!!

(yes I know Sanders sorta isn't white)

@Walter Johnson I mean, I thought Trump and Hillary were borderline too old

I honestly want more Gen X'ers and Millennials

Alaska: 16 delegates

Arizona: 36 delegates
Democrats Abroad: 11 delegates
Hawaii: 19 delegates
Idaho: 20 delegates
Utah: 29 delegates
Washington: 77 delegates
Wisconsin: 55 delegates
Wyoming: 9 delegates

ok, let me tally the numbers so far

ok so Warren has 492 delegates after Super Tuesday, and is the frontrunner by that point. Let me do more math

ok, so after all those states, the final count for warren is 1224 delegates

now..." An extra 716 unpledged delegates (712 votes) or "superdelegates", including party leaders and elected officials, were appointed by the party leadership independently of the primaries' electoral process."

I'm not sure how many of those Warren would get

New York: 120 delegates
Connecticut: 29 delegates
Delaware: 11 delegates
Maryland: 39 delegates
Pennsylvania: 95 delegates
Rhode Island: 15 delegates
Indiana: 47 delegates
Guam: 5 delegates
West Virginia: 20 delegates
Kentucky:30 delegates
Oregon: 40 delegates

so after all that, Warren is at 1675. If you add the 716 superdelegates on top of that, she's over the edge. Maybe they support her to avoid another 2016

Wew

Virgin Islands: 1 delegate
Puerto Rico: 27 delegates
California: 218 delegates
Montana: 13 delegates
New Jersey: 51 delegates
New Mexico: 20 delegates
North Dakota: 15 delegates
South Dakota: 12 delegates
Washington DC: 0 delegates

so...the total Pledged Delegates for Warren would be around 2032, which is shy of the 2,382 delegate votes needed to win by 350. It's possible that enough superdelegates would support her though

I think it boils down to the candidates who aren't Warren splitting the vote amongst themselves

Remember that they're going to reduce the amount of Superdelegates from 2016

@Deleted User

@Walter Johnson really? interesting

well, that could mean Warren wins even more pledged delegates then

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/13/democrats-superdelegates-congress-645134

my main argument is: How would voters distinguish between Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, and Kirsten Gillibrand?

their race and gender

they all seem to be more or less clones of each other, whose only differences are along ethnic and gender lines

yeah, exactly

now...honestly, I haven't paid too much attention to Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris views isn't that different Warren's though

she's more along the lines of a corporate Democrat like Hillary right? I might be wrong

yeah

that's the thing
