The entire strategy of Skunk Cabbage is for the convention to be brokered, and the she rides in on her white stallion, on to the convention floor, and SAVES THE DAY by agreeing to be the nominee. But first she has to make sure no one wins on the first ballot, and that’s why we now see Bloomberg in the race, and that’s why Bloomberg went to where no other candidate could go, which was to (correctly) state outright that Biden isn’t capable of running the country.
We’ll see how the strategy works, but one thing for sure, Skunk Cabbage is not about to go through the primary process again - she considers herself to be WAY above that garbage.
Cannot see a nominee coming from outside the primary process. It would alienate too many Dem voters and invoke the ire of the candidate (s) who got the most votes and/or delegates from the primary process. Their supporters would be livid.
Hillary or Michelle will not be the deus ex machina to rescue the Dem party.
