[The Vote]

[Yes, we can call it Super Monday.]

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, which means 14 states -- including the delegate-rich California (415 delegates) and Texas (228 delegates) -- will choose their states' primary nominees. For context, just 155 delegates have been awarded to date from all the states that have already held primaries.

You understand that the most important figure in the Democratic primary is 1,991. That's the number of delegates necessary to win on the first ballot at the Democratic convention this summer and officially receive the Democratic nomination.

Right now, Bernie Sanders has 55 delegates and Joe Biden has 54 delegates. That's a long way to go to 1,991 -- though tomorrow could make a big difference.

[We'll see you back in South Bend, Mayor Pete! He dropped out of the 2020 race last night.]

"Pete Buttigieg is dropping his presidential bid after a disappointing showing in South Carolina, ending a meteoric rise that saw the once-obscure former mayor of South Bend, Ind., beat out several bigger-name rivals in the race for the Democratic nomination." [Read the full story from The Hill. <[link removed]> ]

Pete Buttigieg ended his campaign last night. It was just two days out from Super Tuesday -- which must mean he didn't expect good results then to buoy his disappointing finish in South Carolina.

Since he's just 38, he has a long political career ahead of him. Smart money is on him returning to the national stage.

This graceful bow-out before the 2020 election gets even tougher between candidates -- and before he (presumedly) faces more losses in primary states -- keeps his "personal brand" strong. Plus, he'll likely be courted by other Democratic campaigns for an endorsement.

[We can't believe we have to say it again: the coronavirus outbreak is not a partisan issue; it's an American issue.]

"The most outrageous scenarios will receive the most attention. Speculation will be paraded as fact. And every conceivable negative outcome, from infections to deaths to plunging stock values, from reasonable and warranted travel bans to unanticipated diplomatic and economic fallout, will be related back to the president in an effort to damage his reelection." [Read the full story from National Review. <[link removed]> ]

First, and most important, we hope you -- and everyone! -- stay safe and healthy during the world outbreak of the new coronavirus. Take advice from medical professionals and experts.

Coronavirus is not a partisan issue; it's an American issue, and we're all in this together. But increasingly, it doesn't seem like some in the media or on the left recognize this.

Sadly, the trend toward super-charged, highly partisan rhetoric and for attacks on the Trump Administration have continued through the weekend. This piece from National Review <[link removed]> lays out what's at stake and what we can expect.

Let's always remember that Americans' health and safety is not -- and will never be -- a partisan talking point. Shame on those who continue to try to make it so.

[Say it ain't so, Joe! Biden faces another challenge to a frequent campaign story.]

"On the campaign trail, Biden repeatedly told his audiences that he was arrested trying to see Mandela during Biden's visit to South Africa in 1977. On Friday, he admitted he was separated from his group while in the airport." [Read the full story from The Washington Free Beacon. <[link removed]> ]

It's the second time on the 2020 campaign trail that the truth about Joe Biden's stories has been challenged.

Last summer, the Washington Post reported (and Axios synthesized <[link removed]> ) that he got "almost every detail incorrect" in a moving story he frequently shared about a US Navy captain. The campaign's defense: Biden got the "essence" of the story right.

Now he's done it again -- this time, with a story about getting arrested in 1977 when he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Turns out he was just separated from his group in the airport.

[President Trump's winning momentum just doesn't stop! Eight state officials switch party registration to join him.]

"'We are in a scenario in this country where you can choose to be a member of the party led by Donald J. Trump, or you can choose to be a member of the socialist Democratic party led by Bernie Sanders,' [Republican Gov. Tate Reeves] said.'" [Read the full story from Lifezette. <[link removed]> ]

In Mississippi, eight state officials -- six Democrats and two independents -- have changed their party registration to the Republican Party. The state party chairman predicts that more will follow suit, too.

But the line of the day (above) goes to Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, who made it clear he sees it as a rejection over the far-left, socialist agenda that Bernie Sanders, the current Democratic front-runner, is pushing.

[No, we couldn't make this up if we tried. Hillary Clinton is launching her own podcast.]

"'I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!' Clinton tweeted. 'But to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.'" [Read the full story from Lifezette. <[link removed]> ]

Coming soon to a smartphone near you: Hillary Clinton is launching her own podcast this spring. In her statement about it, she suggested it's part of her mission to help the Democrats beat President Trump this year.

If it goes as well as her 2016 efforts, perhaps the Trump campaign will thank her for taking on the project.

[The Vote]

[Yes, we can call it Super Monday.]

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, which means 14 states -- including the delegate-rich California (415 delegates) and Texas (228 delegates) -- will choose their states' primary nominees. For context, just 155 delegates have been awarded to date from all the states that have already held primaries.

You understand that the most important figure in the Democratic primary is 1,991. That's the number of delegates necessary to win on the first ballot at the Democratic convention this summer and officially receive the Democratic nomination.

Right now, Bernie Sanders has 55 delegates and Joe Biden has 54 delegates. That's a long way to go to 1,991 -- though tomorrow could make a big difference.

[We'll see you back in South Bend, Mayor Pete! He dropped out of the 2020 race last night.]

"Pete Buttigieg is dropping his presidential bid after a disappointing showing in South Carolina, ending a meteoric rise that saw the once-obscure former mayor of South Bend, Ind., beat out several bigger-name rivals in the race for the Democratic nomination." [Read the full story from The Hill. <[link removed]> ]

Pete Buttigieg ended his campaign last night. It was just two days out from Super Tuesday -- which must mean he didn't expect good results then to buoy his disappointing finish in South Carolina.

Since he's just 38, he has a long political career ahead of him. Smart money is on him returning to the national stage.

This graceful bow-out before the 2020 election gets even tougher between candidates -- and before he (presumedly) faces more losses in primary states -- keeps his "personal brand" strong. Plus, he'll likely be courted by other Democratic campaigns for an endorsement.

[We can't believe we have to say it again: the coronavirus outbreak is not a partisan issue; it's an American issue.]

"The most outrageous scenarios will receive the most attention. Speculation will be paraded as fact. And every conceivable negative outcome, from infections to deaths to plunging stock values, from reasonable and warranted travel bans to unanticipated diplomatic and economic fallout, will be related back to the president in an effort to damage his reelection." [Read the full story from National Review. <[link removed]> ]

First, and most important, we hope you -- and everyone! -- stay safe and healthy during the world outbreak of the new coronavirus. Take advice from medical professionals and experts.

Coronavirus is not a partisan issue; it's an American issue, and we're all in this together. But increasingly, it doesn't seem like some in the media or on the left recognize this.

Sadly, the trend toward super-charged, highly partisan rhetoric and for attacks on the Trump Administration have continued through the weekend. This piece from National Review <[link removed]> lays out what's at stake and what we can expect.

Let's always remember that Americans' health and safety is not -- and will never be -- a partisan talking point. Shame on those who continue to try to make it so.

[Say it ain't so, Joe! Biden faces another challenge to a frequent campaign story.]

"On the campaign trail, Biden repeatedly told his audiences that he was arrested trying to see Mandela during Biden's visit to South Africa in 1977. On Friday, he admitted he was separated from his group while in the airport." [Read the full story from The Washington Free Beacon. <[link removed]> ]

It's the second time on the 2020 campaign trail that the truth about Joe Biden's stories has been challenged.

Last summer, the Washington Post reported (and Axios synthesized <[link removed]> ) that he got "almost every detail incorrect" in a moving story he frequently shared about a US Navy captain. The campaign's defense: Biden got the "essence" of the story right.

Now he's done it again -- this time, with a story about getting arrested in 1977 when he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Turns out he was just separated from his group in the airport.

[President Trump's winning momentum just doesn't stop! Eight state officials switch party registration to join him.]

"'We are in a scenario in this country where you can choose to be a member of the party led by Donald J. Trump, or you can choose to be a member of the socialist Democratic party led by Bernie Sanders,' [Republican Gov. Tate Reeves] said.'" [Read the full story from Lifezette. <[link removed]> ]

In Mississippi, eight state officials -- six Democrats and two independents -- have changed their party registration to the Republican Party. The state party chairman predicts that more will follow suit, too.

But the line of the day (above) goes to Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, who made it clear he sees it as a rejection over the far-left, socialist agenda that Bernie Sanders, the current Democratic front-runner, is pushing.

[No, we couldn't make this up if we tried. Hillary Clinton is launching her own podcast.]

"'I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!' Clinton tweeted. 'But to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.'" [Read the full story from Lifezette. <[link removed]> ]

Coming soon to a smartphone near you: Hillary Clinton is launching her own podcast this spring. In her statement about it, she suggested it's part of her mission to help the Democrats beat President Trump this year.

If it goes as well as her 2016 efforts, perhaps the Trump campaign will thank her for taking on the project.
