There is talk that Sanders should just drop out given the virus and concerns about voting. But, I still think it is okay to have him debate with Biden as means of engaging with him (just saw that Biden basically signed on to Warren's plan that would make their big split over the bankruptcy bill old news; that happens because he is getting pressure from his left and he's trying to support a median position). Sanders dropped basically a sort of home test at the end of his post-Baby Super Tuesday remarks, talking about what he will ask Biden about. Fine.
And, though Sanders very well might ride this to the convention, which to me is a bit much unless it is somewhat pro forma (especially with some of his more bothersome supporters actively bashing Biden hard), it is fair really to give him some time when there is a lot more voting. Yes, this is true even though there is little chance he will catch up, especially with zombie supporters who endorsed Biden providing nearly 100 delegates in reserve. It's really part of the process. Could be a lot shorter, but acceptance is a process.
We saw people impatient with Biden doing well in South Carolina alone being key. March as whole has a lot of delegates and not just on "Super Tuesday." This Tuesday actually has more delegates than last with Florida alone over 200. Today Sanders won Northern Marianas Islands, 4 delegates to 2 (sorry Tulsi, Biden got both). After Tuesday, there is Puerto Rico at the end of the month. Perhaps, get back to me regarding Sanders on April 1.
