Probably not. Bernie was screwed because of the Super-Delegates last time. I predict the same will happen again.
I don’t think they have any choice.
The Berniebots are fiercely loyal to him and will not tolerate another 2016. If the DNC screws Bernie this time, they could tear the party apart.
I could also see the higher ups in the DNC allowing it to happen because they know that whoever they run will get annihilated in November. Better Bernie than one of their rising stars.
That would solve their Bernie problem for good.
Bernie! Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!
If they *want* to lose, yes.
The party *leadership* knows full well that they are going to lose, no matter what happens. The issues now are saving face by losing by as little as possible and damaging President Trump.
Good luck with that.
There is not a single Black Swan, at this stage, that can change the outcome.
This fix is in. If Burnie gets the most delegates he gets the nom. No brokered convention.
Most likely scenario is the Dems rallying around Burnie after he piles up the delegates in March. Democrats are team players unlike establishment Republicans who prefer progressive Democrats to POTUS and the MAGA agenda.
The Dem primary race very well could be over in April. The brokered convention scenarios will be a distant memory in November.
Who is the they in "their" you speak of. And why is in the power of "they" to give anyone anything. "They" are the folks who gave us impeachment, etc. "they" shouldn't be controlling anything. "They" have been the ruin of the US.
I think Bernie is a true threat. Not a joke at all. Decades of indoctrinated younger generations will flock to vote for a true commie. What the hell do they know? They’ve been taught that this crap is awesome and tha5 capitalism is the blame for all their woes.
This combined with unfettered voter fraud, illegal aliens voting and worse could put berntard in the White House.
Think the anti Trumpers wouldn’t work to make this happen? Pfff...
We are not dealing with a brain trust here. The democrat party was Bernie before Bernie ever had a chance.
AMERICAN FLAG ?
My sense of this is that if they back Sanders they lose the election really take a beating on the down ballot races. If they back Bloomberg they lose the presidential race but retain as much of the state and local races as possible.
“Sauve qui peut”
A 20 day old dead fish rotting in the Sicilian sun or Mike Bloomberg. Who has more charisma?

I don’t want that commie on the ballot. Too risky. If he were to win, America will collapse.
That may be a foolish conclusion. Young voters and illegals could well out number over confident republican voters who don’t bother to show up.
at this point, with the iowa caucus debacle the dems cannot show they are competent at anything.
Bernie sued DWS and the DNC last time when the DNC politically sodomized Bernie in the primaries. The court said the DNC can anoint anyone they want in any method they want. Bend over Bernie.
One thing to remember is that neither republicans/conservatives or democrats/progressives/liberals elect the president. The 6% or 7% of people who have no core values elect the president. These people could go into the voting booth with a choice between the most extreme democrat and the most rational republican and not be able to decide who to vote for. Trump was a “black swan”. Any other candidate and Hillary is the president. My point is, don’t take anything for granted.
Bernie will get the Dem nomination and Bernie will lose in a landslide.
The DNC stopped him in 2016 so why would 2020 be any different?
