As discussed, he has no pathway out of whitey-tighty Iowa and NH. He and Klobo would be in tough shape even if they got numbers upwards of 25%. They are totally broke, have no ground game or staff in any other states. And SuperT is two weeks away. So they are asking people to vote for them just because they heard about them somewhere else. Pokey is probably marginally better off than that, because she has a few dollars to work with and was polling well in CA so they at least acknowledge that she is alive. Although the Bernie surge has left her in the dust as well and I think he Cali 2nd place has fallen away, although some newsweek poll or reported in newsweek from yesterday still shows it.
Pokey's status is sort of interesting in another way. A year ago, and even six months ago, and three months ago, every dem on the planet whether pundit or off the street said that they absolutely wanted to see a woman leading the ticket. Now, Pokey, despite her problems and points that need to be taken away from her, is the last woman standing or will be shortly out of SIX women that entered the race. But come voting time, the dems have no interest in her or the other five other than some blips. Same things with "of color" types. Dems swore in blood that they wanted diversity- not any old white rich male types. But come voting time, they had no interest in any of them beyond a blip on the screen for a couple weeks: kamala, booker, castro, duval, tulsi, etc. Wow, what a statement about the party that is.
