I agree with your assessment.
I do not believe any of the current campaigners will be the nominee. None has the charisma required to win the Presidency.
I think Bloomberg might be the DNC favored guy. Bloomberg is where all the others are nots. My original thought was Hillary but No longer think that is possible.
Bloomberg won’t. Seems he’s in it just to abuse his ability to do unlimited ad buys. His recent photo ops have been dismal (just some guy on a subway; at BBQ, “look how he loves ribs!” with no ribs shown - moron).
I’ve seen cases where a party simply has zero chance of winning an office (NY Gov in particular), so just runs a nobody who has no expectations and nothing to lose. Democrats seem there for this race. They might just run Bernie because, for most of the party, he’s disposable.
