But even the most optimistic projections for Sanders do not give him a majority of pledged delegates.
Brokered convention, for sure.
So, isn't this the idea of having a primary, selecting a winner?
So when did Bloomie become a non-laggard?

And with a brokered convention, there will be cry for Hillary. That cry will become many and the convention will nominate Hillary!
So hes spent himself into second place.
Now hes calling for all the laggards to drop out - except for Elizabeth Warren. Yeah ok.
They will attack each other in the debate while the others just watch..............
Well, it would be interesting, because 41% would not be a winner at all.
50%+1 delegate is a “winner”.
So then what? 60% of Dems wanted someone other than Bernie, but they have to choose Bernie because he had a plurality? Maybe ‘tis, maybe ‘tisn’t.
Winner take all was Trump’s friend in 2016.
Candidate who drop out bloomie doesnt have to buy out. Saves him money on his way to purchasing the White House
Will Bloomie be standing on a box tonight. Asking for a friend.
So Bloomcube’s argument is get out because I have a lot of money...
Liddle Mikey will have to go 3rd party then, which would probably reduce the D party to a 3rd place finish and assure a Trump landslide.
” except for Elizabeth Warren.”
He wants Warren to stay in to dilute the “progressive” vote.
Everytime Bernie runs for office he personally profits in homes and cash. What a racket.
Best strategy would be to not go after Bloomcube at all. After the debate send people out to say, he wasn’t exciting and didn’t live up to the hype. That’s how you do it.
Bloomberg is a Laggard and should take this advice and drop out.
As Candidates dropped out, TRUMP picked up more votes little by little!!! They aren't all going to IDIOT Bloomberg!!
If Bernie has 41% of the delegates by the end of Super Tuesday he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. Simply inertia will bring him over the top. Remember that President Trump ended up in the same position. Cruz and Kasic were the last two standing and could not come together. None of the ones left will be willing to drop out for the other. Not going to happen. Bloomberg won’t be able to throw ten billion into the race and make any difference. We have a lesson from history that teaches this. The forces of Senator Goldwater were determined, even though at the times they were not in the majority. But a combination of winning the right primaries and the “moderates” not coming together (Scranton, Rockefeller) ended up giving the 1964 Republican nomination to Goldwater.
I’m getting sick of Bloomberg already-——bombarding our local tv and Radio stations with ads-—yard signs popping out everywhere Jeez !!!!! Talk about overkill
