There are 50 primaries (plus a handful of elections in areas that do not vote in the general election but nevertheless have represenations, like Puerto Rico and Guam and D.C. and the Virgin Islands and Marianas). Nobody has won. Nobody is the leader. The people we thought would be frontrunners crashed and burned at the Iowa caucus. Tuesday 3 March 2020, aka Super Tuesday, is the day we should all be looking at. That is the day when we should see clear frontrunners and/or a winner. Note that California and Texas are part of this cycle's Super Tuesday. Which could seriously give Democrats a winner in early March. It's unknowable. There are 49 state primaries to go. February's primaries are not the end and do not yield winners.

Don't send letters. Send subpoenas and enforce them, Democratic cowards: House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler sends AG Bill Barr a letter asking him to respond by Feb. 25 to a series of questions about Giuliani’s arrangement providing the Justice Department with info on Ukraine. Nadler sent a letter to Barr “to demand answers after Senator Lindsey Graham and Attorney General Barr admit that Rudy Giuliani is sending information concerning Ukraine to the Department of Justice through a special intake process”
