Happy Bloody Monday!

Nothing at all suspicious about Buttigieg and Klobuchar dropping out literally hours before Super Tuesday, even with Klobuchar's home state voting that day. I try not to think about it too much, because what's done is done, but the way that many Democrats acted toward Sanders and his supporters is one of the reasons I eventually decided not to affiliate myself with the party.

I mean even if they didn't all get in a meeting and make a plan, it was clearly semi-organized (which is why Obama called Buttigieg/Klob to drop out). It was all in an attempt to stop Bernie and help Biden.
It's not "suspicious", it's basic political strategy. It was clear from polling that Pete and Amy weren't going to be competitive in most states, so they dropped out and endorsed the next best option according to their politics.

You progressives are exactly like QAnon when something doesn't go your way, it must have been a massive conspiracy or everything was "stolen". Or maybe the "evil money" (Jews) did it, like Nina Turner suggested.

There's a special kind of kool-aid you have to drink to honestly believe that Klobuchar and Buttigieg just dropped out on their own volition. Especially as Pete is now currently the head of DoT. No promises or deals made? lol

You say that as if Secretary of Transportation is a choice job that a viable Presidential candidate would drop out in exchange for. A large minority (if not half) of Americans probably don't know that Buttigieg is the current Secretary, and I'd be willing to bet that >90% of Americans can't name one former Secretary of Transportation.

Klobuchar is doing essentially the same thing she was doing in 2019, so I don't even see what she supposedly got out of the deal.

I'm sure there were behind-the-scenes discussions that led to them dropping out, but I fail to see how the existence of a "deal" is obvious, particularly when Klobuchar got nothing.

I agree. I don't think a deal was ever made for the other moderates to drop out.

That said, why would a deal need to be made? Obama called Klobuchar and Buttigieg and encouraged them to drop out. If they were offered something, that would have leaked by now.

Most likely, they need the faster they dropped out the better possible future job they would get. It only took one. Booker, Beto, Klobuchar and Buttigieg all endorsed Biden within 24 hours. No one wanted to be the last one to endorse Biden to help their future careers.

Even Warren did this. Why did she wait until after Super Tuesday to drop out? She wanted to hurt Bernie, with the hope of being Biden's VP. Was a deal made? No but she decided to take this course for her own career.
