Biden took a commanding second- while Sanders has to settle for a distant first place... What's that, only a 30% lead?
I kid I kid, but let's be honest here SC is likely to see a reversal of those roles. I don't think that's going to save Biden in the long run, but there it is, he's likely going to send Sanders into second. One out of four ain't bad I suppose. Then Super Tuesday. Biden and the other centrists will sweep up the southeast block (including Florida) while Sanders cleans house with the rest of the nation, including Oklahoma where I might remind you that Sanders won back in 2016. We independents are to thank for that one, and I must say I am oh so very grateful that the dems here plum forgot to ask that this year's primary be democrat only. Our state happens to be a "party picks" state, in that each party gets to decide if independents get to vote in their primary or not. Republicans picked "not", but Democrats didn't. I wonder what this says if such a deeply red state seems to sway towards the progressive side rather than the center lane when it comes to that primary...
Meanwhile, well of course Bloomberg was a liar, we knew that. However, it looks like Biden wasn't entirely honest either.
Of all the centrists, it's a shame Steyer isn't doing better. Yes, he's a billionaire too, but of all the centrists he seems like the most decent and honest of the bunch.
Oh and here's a list of things Sanders has gotten done, on the record at least. Numerous reports from Washington insiders suggest he's "ghost written" a lot of legislation but intentionally didn't put his name on it to make sure it actually passed.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
