Crazy Bernie will be the nominee or a brokered convention with a last minute replacement.
Michelle Obama, and Oprah are my bet. And I pray I'm wrong.
The longer the “moderate” by their definition lane doesn’t coalesce the more likely you wind up with a Bernie nominee..
The democrats in power are terrified that Sanders will get the nomination, because the inevitable Trump landslide will pull them all down with him. They will happily get behind Bloomberg.
So what if he is a rich, racist oligarch who is buying the nomination? He will throw a billion dollars of his own money into the race. The DNC will not have to finance the Presidential election and can instead spend every cent that they raise trying to re-elect their own butts. If they kiss up nicely he will even spend money on their campaigns.
Blacks are key in a lot of swing states for Dems. They stay home and Trump wins. Bloomberg would be under tremendous pressure to pick a black as his VP.
You don’t get it.
If Sanders is not the nominee (fairly or not) his followers will burn the DNC down and stay home on election day in larger numbers than 2016. They will start or join a third party and the DNC will be hobbled for a generation.
Either way the DNC loses.
The only solution is to have Bernie die during the primary from another heart attack. His followers may accept that as a reason for not being the nominee.
Before anointing them, let’s see how they do in SC and NV. They are not doing well in the polls. The fact is that Bernie will come in first or second in most of the primaries and there are no winner take all states Before the convention, he is on track to have the highest number of delegates, probably not the 1991 to win the nomination outright.
The Dems made a major mistake front loading the primaries. By March 2nd, Super Tuesday, 40% of the delegates will have been chosen. This helps Bernie the most because he has both the organization and money in place around the country to compete. Klobuchar trails in both money and organization and Bloomberg has the money but not the seasoned organization in place. Plus he is a Dem outsider who thinks he can buy the nomination.
Yep. Gonna be Shrillery.
I think bloomberg.
Bernie has the most (largest and most loyal) backing, and in a nomination process were the vote is divided among a significant group, a candidate that can take the largest slice of the pie usually does it by being the most decisive and having the strongest grassroots following.
But the DNC will do whatever it takes to stop him. Also, Bloomberg is working on ways to broker delegates.
Buttgeig has the most intellectual appeal, if you take away his certain social factors that will turn off a lot of voters, he also could garner a significant portion of certain states to come in first or second there. Some have compared him to Obama, and while he can speak on topics like Obama, he doesn’t have the charisma, and comes off more like a verbose part-time substitute teacher.
Biden was done in Iowa. He is only holding on by his finger nails because he doesn’t want to believe he is going to be on the outs and subject to investigations. He needs to cling to the fantasy of getting power.
The dems have a big problem. They need to prop up Bloomberg, and it doesn’t matter how much proping they do, he’ll come up way short in the end
Yeah, they will. Bernie has already said he’s seen zero DNC dirty tricks.
He doesn’t have the balls to say otherwise, even though it’s obviously true.
He will be given another house in some ritzy area and tell his followers to vote for Bloomberg or whomever.
Bloomberg is a racist.
Maybe.
I’m will wondering if they can figure him out. LOL
“Bloomberg is a racist.”
What did he say that was untrue? It was unfiltered non PC remarks that are 100% true.
At this point, the most likely nominee will be the one who talks the least. These candidates are so ridiculous when they speak. It’s comical.
They will... they’ll hold their nose and vote just like they did for Hillary last time...
They are generally too ignorant to know better.. . they will scream about it, but they will for the most part show up and be the good little useful idiots that they are.
Klobuchar?

Yes real name recognition /s
Most Americans do not even know (or ever heard of her).
“What did he say that was untrue? It was unfiltered non PC remarks that are 100% true.”
You are missing the humor in it all. We get to call the Democrats racist!
Bloomberg is a racist! Bloomberg is a racist! Bloomberg is a racist!
Klobuchar apparently has a reputation as a complete arsehole to work for and probbaly has a lot of dirty laundry to hide and has never faced the intensity of a non-safe campaign-- she may have Biden's foot-in-mouth disease.
I think Trump wins against both, even with a combined ticket.
Basically, it doesn’t matter which clown is driving, its still a clown car....
I stated it a long while ago now... the 2020 field of democrat candidates, are like someone looked at the 2016 field of Republican Candidates before Trump entered and said, “Have you ever seen a more pathetic lot?” And the Democrat’s response wash “OH YEA?!?!? HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!”
Neither. There is a mystery candidate waiting in the wings.
Ok I’m a little dense this afternoon.
