Uh oh...Bernie Sanders will be giving his Super Tuesday speech from Vermont. Rumors abound. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 19:35 14
- What rumours? -- nm - colin Feb 28, 19:36 13
  - I would guess that he will "suspend" his campaign. His SC loss is pretty much the end unless he overperforms expectations Tuesday. - TWuG Feb 28, 19:38 1
    - So not much of a debate on March 6th then -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 21:21
  - That if he loses the other 7 states (minus Vermont) he may be exiting. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 19:38
  - The math just won't be there after Super Tuesday, so he packs it in. -- nm - Tim Feb 28, 19:37 9
    - especially if Trump wins on the GOP side, i'm sure Bernie would want to unite the Dems against him as soon as possible -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 19:39 7
      - Yeah, I'm curious about the reaction of the BernieBros if he were to endorse Hillary the same night. - Tim Feb 28, 19:43 1
        
        same as the alleged "PUMAs" in 2008. -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 19:46
      - Exactly. Do what the GOP should have done: Unite early and hammer him incessantly. -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 19:41
      - Tooooooo laaaaaate! -- nm - colin Feb 28, 19:41 2
        
        They don't want to stop him given he is likely an albatross around swing state senator necks. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 19:50 1
        
        he can lose and still be that -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 19:52
      - Yep. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 28, 19:40
    - Awwww. No. I at least wanted Trump to have some competition. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 19:38
Hot damn! -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 28, 19:34
Yay! -- nm - nic to be determined Feb 28, 19:33

Get. Hype. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 28, 19:33
Kate Capshaw might have had some work done -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 19:33
What?? -- nm - colin Feb 28, 19:32
Such an overrate movie. Here's where the Academy starts messing it all up. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 19:32 9
- spoil - Spawn Feb 28, 19:39
- If they really wanted to mess it up, they'd have picked Stallone -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 19:35
- The movie might be but the performance was sublime -- nm - JD Feb 28, 19:33 6
  - He is rarely less than that. -- nm* - nic to be determined Feb 28, 19:40
  - Clearly the best in the category and by a LOT. -- nm - David Feb 28, 19:37
  - IMO it was fine, but nothing outstanding. If I had that little dialogue I'd rock that performance too. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 19:34 3
    - Sure. But I figure your limited screen time performance would be more along the lines of Judi Dench's winning performance - JD Feb 28, 19:37 1
      - or William Hurt's nomination. Didn't he have like 11 lines of dialogue? -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 19:38
    - Yeah. That clip was pretty much his role. Really surprised it wasn't Bale. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 19:36
Nice. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 19:32
quality -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 19:32
YES -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:32
Yeah! -- nm - JD Feb 28, 19:32
