According to Predictit there is a 53% chance of a brokered convention. Could not happen to a more deserving political party.

Who are these “Moderate” Democrats I keep hearing about?

[BipolarBob]

“Moderate” is codeword for sellouts to the highest bidder.

[KC_Conspirator]

I want to see fist o cuffs.

[Nateman]

I suspect a lot of super delegates who will suddenly have overseas bank accounts with all sorts of money in them.

[Democrats hate too much]

The plan is to get Hillary to win.

I was listening to Hannity this afternoon and there were folks saying "Bloomberg is out" (because of his debate performance).

Perhaps that would be true if Bloomberg were dependent on contributors. He's not.

Bloomberg's not "out" until he decides he's "out."

$50 billion is one hell of a lot of money. He may indeed be able to buy the nomination.

Just when I write off most FReepers, you show up!

She will never be a candidate for any race ever again.

This has been obvious for a long time. Why else did he start to run.

[BBQToadRibs]

There is not possibly enough popcorn for this event.

Here is the dilemma for Democrats. Bernie cannot win. Yet no other Democratic candidate has even a remote chance of defeating Trump without the enthusiastic support by Sanders and his ardent supporters. If Sanders is denied, there will be no unity. The DNC is not stupid. They realize that winning the Presidency in 2020 is unlikely. There main effort will be to prevent a Congressional debacle.

[nopardons]

Only in your fevered brain.

Hillary will NOT show up/run/be the "sacrificial loser" yet again!

[MuttTheHoople]

Bolshie Bernie wouldn’t be averse to an addition to his lakeside Summer home.

[BigEdLB]

And after Bloomie buys the nomination... HT JAMES WOODS

[Jess Kitting]

She will never be a candidate for any race ever again.

I wish I could believe that.

She wants it bad. And the Dem establishment will lie, cheat, kill, and steal to get their gal in the White House.

I don't trust her, and I don't trust them.

They still have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

[stubernx98]

The left operates under “ "The end justifies the means" Lie cheat & steal all OK

[atc23]

It’s pretty cool watching that party openly selling themselves like the streetwalkers we know they are.

What a disgusting and pathetic end to the democrats.

SOCIALISM IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
