He probably wouldn’t last the campaign. So, yeah.

Bernie for the loss.

BTW, where did you get your screen name? Looks like something from Singapore.

Bernie’s real problem is the 700+ superdelegates. Those Democrat party insiders can vote at the 2020 convention, starting with the second ballot. Those guys might go for Biden or Hillary or Michelle. But I can’t see them voting for Bernie.

So either Bernie somehow wins a majority of the delegates before the convention even starts, or he’s toast.

Well, bring him on!!

Now that we have an open Primary state here, who would you like me to vote for on the Dem side? In other words, who is most beatable?

Literally means “red-head” in Mandarin. Derogatory name for gweilos in Sing. Good catch. Kind of a long story.

Has Sanders changed his registration from Independent to Democrat? He is really a full blown communist. I hope he gets the D nomination. Then we would have a real choice, an open borders commie fed gov with Sanders or a mostly Capitalist America first fed gov with Trump.

‘They just keep looking at one of their losers, like say, Biden, and concluding that he just cannot win the general election in any realistic scenario’

you are aware, I’m sure, that the consensus prediction on 270towin has the dem candidate with 248 ev’s, with most of the swing states except MI up for grabs...that says a lot of things, but one of them ain’t ‘no realistic scenario...’

Outstanding, the general election would be a historic blowout.

Biden is going to stumble, if he hasn't been stumbling all along. So the question is whether Warren will stumble before Sanders, and whether Sanders can avoid stumbling himself.

If Biden fails, where do the moderates (or wets or squishies or whatever you want to call them) go? Klobuchar? Buttigieg? I don't see either one of them packing much of a punch with the rank and file.

Bernie's problem is that he's too old and too much yesterday's news. Probably Liz will stay on her feet and Joe will be propped up long enough that Bernie doesn't get the nomination.

IMHO the nominee is still a “player to be named later”, by the party bosses, the super delegates. The convention itself will be a large cluster eff...!

Yeah, I was being hyperbolic. I thought that was obvious. But, to win back the presidency, the Democratic Party most needs to increase black and union turnout in states like Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc.

Bernie's not going to do that. Buttigieg is not going to do that. Warren is not going to do that. Biden might, but he's added senility to his stupidity and evidence of his corruption grows daily, so they have to look back to Bernie... and the relook at their alternatives begins again with no realistic scenario for victory, to overstate the case.
