The party leadership wants a ringer through a brokered convention.

The people who she is pulling don’t seem to be Bernie’s supporters as the DNC had planned, so if Bernie doesn’t get the nod I think he may run as an independent and do well.

Psychojawea is too damaged for the regular party members. If they run her as the nominee, the Democrats will be accused unrelentingly of supporting the exploitation of native Americans and that will be done loudly and unrelentingly through the next election cycle.

I don't doubt that they would want that. What I doubt is whether they are still able in the present day to GET that.

The Loony Left believes that it's time has ARRIVED. "It's OUR Party Now!" and if anyone doesn't submit they are more than willing to turn Antifa loose on their own leaders.

Two things: Yes,Bernie may do well as an Independent (meaning damaging the actual nominee) and got onto the ballots of enough states. But IMO there are some pretty powerful reasons why he wouldn't do that...one being the possibility of his wife winding up in Club Fed.

Also,you speak of "regular party members". I put it to you that among that Party's "movers & shakers" the last such individual was purged at least 10 years ago. As proof of that claim I offer you Osama Obama and ILLary (among others).
