Back in 2016, we speculated about a brokered convention. Remember the stories about Trump failing in the first vote and Kasich taking it in the third round?
Well, it may happen this time, as Karl Rove is outlining:
There’s growing concern among Democrats that their July 2020 convention in Milwaukee could open without a candidate who receives a majority of the vote on the first ballot.
The last time that happened to the Democrats was 1952.
There are now four candidates—Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren—who have enough support and money to be competitive through March.
A fifth candidate, Mike Bloomberg, has enough cash to burn a wet mule and a strategy that says he doesn’t care how he does until the 27 primary contests and two caucuses in March. Many mules will perish at his hands.
The problem stems from the party's rules and the proportional distribution of delegates.
So what happens if no one has the convention wrapped up? That's when the so-called "super delegates" step in and no one really knows what happens next.
They may go for the electable argument and throw the delegates into disarray, specially the left.
They may select Joe Biden and then please the delegates by forcing a VP on him, such as crowd-pleaser Stacy Abrams of Georgia.

It’s the easiest way to get Hillary in there. Lord knows she couldn’t survive a primary campaign.
I expect Crooked or Big Mike to show up at the convention to be crowned by the crazies.
Any chance that Hormel will be providing a delivery van for her use?
Her Royal Heinous spews forth from the depths of Hell to be crowned the 2020 Regressive Socialist ‘RAT opponent of humanity.

“I expect Crooked or Big Mike to show up at the convention to be crowned by the crazies.”
Same here. Can you imagine Big Mike in the Oval Office with Zero running around untethered?
Agree about Big Mike...if the ‘RATS can find a cup large enough to hide his junk.
If they select someone who didn’t even campaign in the primaries it is pretty much a done deal that Bernie’s faction will run a their own candidate.
Predicted by bert months ago.
“After four ballots that did not provide a nominee, /hillary’s name will surface and in agony and frustration, she will be nominated”
However that thought has been modified. The modification is Bloomberg. bloomberg has more executiveexperience, money and ability than all the rest put together.
“They may select Joe Biden and then please the delegates by forcing a VP on him, such as crowd-pleaser Stacy Abrams of Georgia.”
I can see the campaign ads now...Biden in his southern gentleman white coat and tails, and Stacy in her apron and hair covering.
Colonel Sanders and Aunt Jemima 2020.

It’d be Reggie Love Party Night, eight shows per week. Whippets, blow, choom, corn oil, and dropcloths.

They predicted a brokered Republican convention in 2016 due to the number of competitive candidates.
This happens every cycle and we never get a brokered convention from either party.
Ooooh!
I could go for some chicken and waffles right about now!
It’s gonna be Big Mike the Wookie, not the loser...
They’ve cycled through the living spouses of Dem Presidents that actually managed to get their butts into the oval office.
It’s Big Mike’s turn as the dems try to capture the magic in the name...
Bloomberg on the 2nd ballot. The Democrat SuperD’s are notoriously cheap to buy, and he is passing out mountains of cash.
Perhaps, a converted Schwan’s delivery truck would work.
