Lol, I still can't believe Sanders and his supports thought that 30-ish % in each state was going to be a winning coalition in that primary.

That strategy worked back when there were multiple opponents occupying the moderate/conservative lane, but once that lane was reduced to a single candidate, it was no longer viable.

I must admit, I was surprised Biden did as well as he did despite Bloomberg still be in. I definitely saw him winning Texas and after the Klobuchar dropout, Minnesota, (along with sweeping the south and Oklahoma) but I was shocked to see him win Massachusetts and Maine.

This is the result of many people deciding their primary votes at the last minute. Exit polls from the Super Tuesday contests indicated that there were many states where late deciders (those who decided their votes within the last few days or on primary day itself) comprised at least 40% of the entire primary electorate, and Biden won all of those states.
