THE RESULTS CLOSELY TODAY.
THIS MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST DAY
OF THE ELECTION.
YEAH, THANK YOU CAN ALL
RIGHT SO AS VOTERS IN 14
DIFFERENT STATES HEAD TO THE
POLLS THIS MORNING WE WANTED
TO SIT DOWN WITH BEEN GASKIN
SEASON ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF
POLITICAL SCIENCE AT LEWIS AND
CLARK WITH A LITTLE MORE WHAT
TO WATCH TODAY. SO THEN WE SAW
ALL THE HEADLINES WITH IN THE
COMA SHOWERS AND AMY KLOBUCHAR
DROPPING OUT WITH FORMER MAYOR
PETE BUTTIGIEG DROPPING OUT
BOTH ENDORSING BIDEN.
IT KIND OF APPEARS NOW TO
BE A BIDEN VERSUS BOERNE
SCENARIO HAVE HASN'T NARROWED
DOWN THAT FAR JUST YET IT
REALLY SEEMS TO BE THE CASE I
THINK ELIZABETH WARREN IN ALL
THE POLLS COMING OUT MORE
RECENTLY IS REALLY DROPPING
DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE SHE'S
NOT TO BE VIABLE A LOT OF
DIFFERENT STATES SAME.
WITHOUT MICHAEL BLOOMBERG
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO STRUGGLE
TO GET THAT 50% IN ORDER TO
PICK UP ANY DELEGATES AT ALL.
AND MEANWHILE WE SEE JOE BIDEN
REALLY MOVING FORWARD IN THE
POLLS IN STATES LIKE VIRGINIA,
WHERE HE IS A CLEAR FRONT
RUNNER THERE AND MOVING UP
EVEN IN STATES LIKE
CALIFORNIA. SO I THINK THOUGH
WHAT WE REALLY HAVE TO PAY
ATTENTION TO IS THAT THAT
VIABILITY THRESHOLD IF WARREN
AND BLOOMBERG UNLIKE
CALIFORNIA FOR INSTANCE, HIT
15% THEY WILL TAKE A LOT OF
DELEGATES FOR THEMSELVES THAT
WOULD OTHERWISE BE MORE LIKELY
TO GO TO BUT THAT WOULD GO TO
BIDEN AND ESPECIALLY TO BERNIE
SANDERS RIGHT THAT WOULD MAKE
THAT MORE OF A A 2 PERSON RACE
TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA ARE REAL
BIG STATES TODAY AS VOTERS
HEAD TO THE POLLS DO THE
ENDORSEMENTS THAT THE FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT GOT YESTERDAY.
PROPEL HIM INTO THOSE STATES
GIVE HIM ENOUGH OF A PUSH TO
TO BE MORE OF A COMPETITION
THAT I THINK IT REALLY SIGNALS
TO THE VOTERS THAT IF YOU'RE
NOT A SUPPORTER OF BERNIE
SANDERS AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
MORE MODERATE ALTERNATIVE THAT
BIDEN IS THE CHOICE TO TO TO
RALLY BEHIND AND WITH BETO
SPENDING TIME WITH BIDEN
YESTERDAY IN TEXAS. I THINK
THAT WILL DO A LOT TO REALLY
PROPEL HIM IF NOT TOO UPBEAT,
BERNIE SANDERS, BUT TO RACK UP
A A LARGE NUMBER OF DELEGATES,
SO HE DOESN'T FALL TOO FAR
BEHIND AT THIS POINT BY THE
REALLY WANTS TO STAY NECK AND
NECK WITH BERNIE SANDERS ON
THE IDEA THAT HE WILL BE ABLE
TO DO EVEN BETTER IN FUTURE
STATES AND COME OUT AHEAD, I
WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN
HER HOME STATE OF
MASSACHUSETTS, ONE OF THE
STATES VOTING TODAY. SHE HAS
SAID SHE DOES NOT PLAN TO DROP
OUT OF THIS RACE THAT
POTENTIALLY A CONTESTED.
PRIMARY HERE AS YOU MOVE
TOWARDS ALL OF THE DELEGATES
SO IS THERE A PATH AHEAD FOR
HER IF SHE CANNOT PULL OUT A
WIN HERE ON SUPER TUESDAY.
I WOULD THERE'S NO PATH OF
THING TO GETTING A MAJORITY OF
THE DELEGATES BEFORE THE DNC I
THINK YOU'RE RIGHT THE ONLY
WAY THAT SHE HAS A CHANCE OF
GETTING THE NOMINATION IS IF
IT IS A CONTESTED CONVENTION
AND SHE IS THE SORT OF VIEWED
THE SO-CALLED UNITY CANDIDATE
AND SHE GETS A LOT OF SUPPORT
FROM A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT
FACTIONS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY AND I THINK SHE'S TRYING
TO REMAIN VIABLE AND STAY IN
THE RACE BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO
BE AN OPTION FURTHER DOWN THE
LINE BUT I THINK THAT YOU KNOW
THE TERMS OF ACTUALLY WINNING
THE NOMINATION OUTRIGHT
THERE'S NO REAL PATH FOR HER
THAT. BERNIE SANDERS HAS
PRECLUDED ONE SIDE AND BIDEN
HAS PRECLUDED THE OTHER SIDE,
SO IT'S UNCLEAR. WHAT ELSE
SHE'S TRYING TO GET OUT OF
THIS OTHER THAN TRYING TO MAKE
IT TO THE CONVENTION. YEAH I
THINK WE'LL WATCH AND SEE WHAT
HAPPENS WITH HER CAMPAIGN
THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS
WEEK ALSO WANT TO TALK FORMER
MAYOR MIKE BLOOMBERG HE IS
STILL IN THE RACE, THIS IS
REALLY.
HIS FIRST TEST HE SPENT SO
WHAT OVER HALF A BILLION
DOLLARS NOW IN CAMPAIGN
ADVERTISING ACROSS THE COUNTRY
BUT HE HAS NOT BEEN ON THE
BALLOT UNTIL NOW. YEAH, IT'S
GOOD I THINK THIS IS GOING TO
BE REALLY INTERESTING THING TO
SEE HOW WELL BLOOMBERG DOES IN
STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA AND
SOME OF THE MORE RED STATES
THAT ARE GOING TODAY THAT
THOSE ARE THE STATES WHERE
BLOOMBERG HAS TRADITIONALLY
BEEN POLLING REALLY WELL IT'S
BEEN PULLING VOTES FROM JOE
BIDEN BUT NOW THAT WE SEE THE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP REALLY
RALLY BEHIND JOE BIDEN IT
WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME TO SEE
BLOOMBERG REALLY LOSE SOME OF
THAT SUPPORT HAS BIDEN IS
ELEVATED AS THE VIABLE
ALTERNATIVE BERNIE SANDERS.
IT'S I WILL HAVE TO REALLY
KEEP A WATCH DOES BLOOMBERG
RETAIN SOME OF HIS PULLING
SUPPORT WHERE DOES THAT LEAD
THE WAY TOWARDS JOE BIDEN
YEAH, NO REAL QUICKLY I KNOW,
OREGON AND WASHINGTON NOT
VOTING TODAY ON SUPER TUESDAY,
COMING UP NEXT WEEK AND THEN
OREGON VOTES ARE EITHER STATE
GOING TO START SEEING MORE
ATTENTION FROM CANDIDATES AS
THEY GET A LITTLE CLOSER I
THINK THAT THAT IS AND OUT OF
THAT BERNIE SANDERS IS REALLY
GOING TO FOCUS ON THE
NORTHWEST.
THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT
THERE AND NOW BIDEN'S BEEN OUT
HERE ONCE OR TWICE BUT I THINK
WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO START
GETTING SOME ATTENTION TO
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO GO ON
PROBABLY AT LEAST HELD MAY AT
THIS POINT YEAH, IT'S IT'S
INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THIS
RACE WILL GO BEN, THANKS WE
