Debate Quote: “I’ll support the candidate, who ever it is.” - Elizabeth Warren, just before laying into Bloomy.
To me, THAT says volumes. Actually, it says “the fix is in”. Bloomy will prevail in delegates (but not a 1st ballot majority) and carry on into a brokered convention.
Why? Money.
Face it, the DNC is broke (income v. outgo) and can barely support the POTUS candidates while almost completely ignoring the down-ticket races. Where are the DNC adverts for Congresscritter-D’s? Most are being told, use you own war-chest for now, we can’t help you.
And, as I keep saying, the DNC is still on the hook to the CF for the interest-free loan it got in 2016. HRC holds that chit and purposefully pushes out the payment schedule. Control.
A brokered convention is still the goal but, since they can just sit back and have Bloomy use his personal fortune for the POTUS campaign (by design, every candidate gets some benefit), they don’t have to face the specter of bankruptcy.
Keep an eye out after Super Tuesday for an uptick in adverts for Congress-D races. That will be the indicator of a Bloomy surge. Dems know they need to keep the “Impeachment House” in 2020.
The jury is still out on whether Bloomy will be the party candidate or whether he is just buying influence into the party. He’s a billionaire businessman...he can’t help himself but want to white-knight the party. That said...
I’m still on the Hillary 2020 wagon emerging from a brokered convention. Watch as Bloomberg pays off the CF loan, with interest and assumes the party chair.
