Super Tuesday Settled It - The Choice Is Biden Or Trump

Slightly less than half of the states have voted in primaries or caucuses, but for practical purposes the presidential nominating campaign is over for both parties. The Super Tuesday states settled it by putting one candidate in each party so far ahead as to be impossible to catch.

Nikki Haley was able to win one state (Vermont), but she was trounced by Donald Trump in all the others. The night left Trump with 722 delegates of the 1215 needed, while Haley has only 46 delegates. On Wednesday morning, Haley dropped out of the race.

The result was just as lopsided on the Democratic side. Biden won all the Super Tuesday states by a huge margin. His two opponents (Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson) were unable to even approach Haley's anemic numbers when combined. The night left Biden with 1,288 delegates of the 1,969 needed for the nomination, while neither opponent has any delegates (although there are 5 uncommitted delegates).

In the remaining states, both Biden and Trump will easily amass enough delegates to clinch their nominations. Like it or not, The choice in November will be between President Biden or Donald Trump -- a choice between a decent working class born man willing to compromise and a lying rich born authoritarian madman who refuses to compromise.

I know that some recent polls have shown Trump being preferred over Biden, but it is still very early to worry about the polls. Those polls have a significant number of "unsure" (people who have yet to make up their minds).

Historically, American voters have rejected extremists. Most voters are moderates, and they expect their leaders to be willing to compromise for the good of the country. If there is a huge turnout in November (and I hope that will be the case), I expect they will choose the more moderate and willing to compromise candidate -- President Biden.
