Other than the irrelevant Gabbard, Klobuchar is dead last of the remaining candidates in almost every state, except for MN, with MN being the only reason she is still in (to block Bernie). She also, along with Bloomberg, pulls mostly from Biden, more than the others, Pete included. As for Warren, there is a high likelihood she doesnt even win Massachusetts and has no real path either, barring some freakish turn of events (Bernie becoming ill, etc)

Pete will do the right thing, but that same call to drop out surely also will apply to Klobuchar and Warren as well.

If he wants to run the anti trump stuff fine but why he inserted himself in only partially as a primary candidate for ST is beyond me.

As I stated when the entrance poll numbers came in last Saturday, if those numbers are even remotely accurate, this is quite obviously a 2-person race. It was abundantly clear at that point that only Sanders and Biden had enough support (among POC, youth, etc.) to be viable for the nomination.

That anyone thought Buttigieg or Klobuchar, with near-zero support among POC, was viable is just astounding to me. It's as if those folks are brand spankin' new to Democratic Party politics.

Gabbard won't drop out. At least, I would be shocked if she did.

Warren, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar both should and may drop out, but my point, here, is that I think this will whittle down to a 3-person race: Sanders, Bloomberg, and Biden (our three elderly gentlemen--sigh). Their combined ages are greater than the age of our republic, itself.
