So, what's the fallout from South Carolina?

Steyer is toast and what little support he had gained is insignificant to the other candidates. Warren has lied and shrieked herself right out of the primaries. She was the media favorite, as well as that of the East Coast intelligentsia, but she was just not likeable. The electorate already had a chance to elect a *****y know-it-all shrieking middle-aged woman in 2016 and said, 'no thanks'. Bernie will be the immediate beneficiary of Warren's collapse. Her supporters have nowhere else to go, this side of Venezuela. Pete 'What, Me Worry' Buttgigi is auditioning for V.P. He is slick, well trained/obeys his handlers and is reasonably likeable. However, he is essentially Dan Quale, an empty vessel, totally devoid of experience, even for the Mayoral office he currently holds. Biden's backers are probably paying Pete to stay in the race, lest his support flow to Bernie. Is Bloomberg even trying to win delegates? I forget, when is he entering a primary?

Biden will continue to credibly challenge Sanders through Super Tuesday and right up to the convention. Bloomberg will play spoiler and keep the two frontrunners from garnering enough delegates to win on a first ballot. This is assuming that all three live long enough to make it to summer. I may actually watch the Democrat Convention, it will likely be a bloodbath. Think, Chicago - 1968.
