He's been caught telling a repeated lie about getting jailed for a protest to release Mandela. He's been telling a few practiced lies for a very long time. He's got a history of it. Feel a bit badly for him. South Carolina is the only state he can possibly win and that is now 50/50. I think he'll lose it by a nose. The older black church crowd there will vote for him due to his Obama connection but not the Gen Z and millennial. They will either stay home or vote Bernie.

I beg to differ, Bernie appeals to all poor people - young or old, black or white. 

Biden has acted like a demented fool in the debates.  Any residual effect of Obama has long, long, been gone.  Most people think of him as a bumbling fool.  It doesn't help that Trump can just keep inflicting damage on him until the cows come home.  And think about that for a moment - can you imagine a Trump versus Biden debate?  Trump would entirely wipe the floor with the ignorant old bastard.  Not owing to any rhetorical intellectual debate, he'd just eviscerate the fool as easily as he eats a cheese burger by confounding him.   

Besides Biden is done, as you say even by some hail mary he won South Carolina (which he emphatically won't) would that make him a front runner?  I suppose it might give the DNC super delegates some sort of excuse to install him - but any chance of that is completely blown. 

Looking forward to Super Tuesday!

Cav is going to write in Hillary.  :)

Regarding your avatar.  Don't take this the wrong way, but Earl Lucan was a known murderer and  a Nazi sympathizer.  Why would you associate yourself with this character?  I'm sure there is a fairly good explanation; I'm a very curious person, as you probably have evinced.  I most likely will find out for myself.  Obviously I'm not a friend of Nazi sympathizers.  He used to carry around a battered copy of Mein Kampf, everywhere he went. Trump aped him, It's preposterous to assume Trump read the book, but it took pride of place on his bedside table. 

But I'm sure there is an innocent explanation. 

Please get back to me at your earliest convenience,

Sincerely, Panadol.

Bernie appeals to all, I'm not disagreeing but specifically to Blacks in South Carolina, Biden had the biggest lead. That has been coming down a lot but without doubt Biden had the biggest share of the black vote in South Carolina and even generally among Blacks. 

Bernie biggest niche are the young.

To see who would recognise him. Very few have. It's a test of others' knowledge of notorious criminals. Remember that I am a combat veteran, and we tend to have strange notions of "humour". Using a photo hardly indicates approval of his actions. Why has Australia almost made a hero of Ned Kelly, when in reality he was little more than a murderous thug? To shock maybe? The same reason I use Lucan.

As to Trump, I refer you to Snopes, which is hardly sympathetic to  Trump:

Did U.S. President Donald Trump once admit to reading the book Mein Kampf and being an admirer of its author, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler?

Those were the central claims in an internet meme that began making the social media rounds in mid-April 2019, which purported to quote Trump’s praising Hitler in a Time magazine interview published in 2002. We found instances of the meme’s being shared on both Twitter and Facebook, including a popular Facebook page titled “Joe P. Kennedy III for President 2020,” which does not appear to be owned or operated by Kennedy himself:

“Reading Mein Kampf in college had a profound affect [sic] on me. Very, very interesting. Of course there were many problems in Germany at the time, they were losers, they lost. But Adolf Hitler, that is to say, I don’t agree with everything he was saying at the time of course but I do respect him. As a leader. Tremendous respect. And I suppose you could say, I try to incorporate some of his teachings into everything I do to this day. In business, my daily life and my politics.”
   – Donald J. Trump
     (Interview with Time Magazine, 2002)

Not only were we unable to locate an original source for this quote, or evidence that Time magazine even interviewed Trump in 2002, but we found no discernible record of its existence before the meme first surfaced in April 2019. Yet it’s the kind of statement that would have been quoted ad nauseum in the press had Trump said it. No such references exist.

Nor were we able to find isolated instances of Trump praising Mein Kampf or Adolf Hitler in public statements. The cadence and grammar of the passage are Trump-like (“… but I do respect him. As a leader. Tremendous respect.”), but all indications point to its being fabricated.

That said, Trump was quoted in 1990 as saying he had been given a copy of Mein Kampf by a friend — though it turned out he was mistaken about which of Hitler’s books had been given to him.

I always though it was because, like Lucan, you were happy not to be known, or found, by the general masses.

Because the's a Thug's Thug, and Aussies are quite proud of their origins, I went to a Ned Kelly Museum in Melbourne once, it was in a Casino...

There's the tell, that makes him sound like he could derive a profound 'affect' from something he read.  

Even to the most casual observer, Trump could have only experienced one 'affect' from any printed material, and that would have been the material that had nekkid girlies (and given Epstein, perhaps others) in it.
