ByeByeBernie trends after Sanders campaign defeated in key Super Tuesday 2 races
The hashtag #ByeByeBernie was trending on social media on after Joe Biden beat Bernie Sanders in the Michigan primary and three other Democratic nominating contests on Tuesday.
Both hashtags began trending after Biden was declared winner in four of the six Democratic primaries held on Tuesday, including the state offering the day's largest delegate haul: Michigan. Sen. Sanders had a slim 0.2 percentage point lead in Washington state, the primary offering the second most delegates yesterday, with 67 percent of votes reported as of 4:09 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
The former vice president took the Missouri primary with a little more than 60 percent of vote, and beat his progressive rival by 66 percentage points in the deep-red state of Mississippi.Biden also won Idaho by a smaller 6-point gap that still put him in position to claim most of the state's 20 delegates.
Using the hashtag #ByeByeBernie, Twitter user indiecitizn wrote,"Ppl tweeting #ByeByeBernie are awful. Imagine feeling proud of blunting progress & telling young folks we have no future; that we're stuck w/ our student loans; can't have healthcare; can't have a habitable planet to live on. What an honorable cause - let's see how that works out."
