When are Bernie and his followers going to get the picture? It’s not up to them to choose the Democrat nominee. It’s the elites. So little followers....grab your cankles! Bernie will be fine, he’s holding out for more real estate.
Bernie wants the rules changed for him.
Dirty Harry wants the 500 Superdelegates to pick the winner.
Looks like the 2020 democrat convention in Milwaukee has the potential to be real horrorshow like Chicago 1968.
Bloomberg’s path to the nomination consists of him getting the #2 spot, delegate-wise, after Sanders, buying off all the Dem also-rans, and prevailing on the second ballot. If he doesn’t get the #2 slot, things become a lot harder, because whomever is #2 is going to think of himself not merely as a kingmaker but a potential nominee, and therefore less likely to give up his delegates to Bloomberg.
In 2020, there will be 4,750 delegates: 3,979 pledged delegates and 771 automatic delegatesmore commonly known as superdelegates.[1]
To win the Democratic nomination, a presidential candidate must receive support from a majority of the pledged delegates on the first ballot: 1,991 pledged delegates.[2][3] If the convention is contested and goes to a second ballot or more, automatic delegates will be able to vote and a candidate must receive majority support from all delegates: more than 2,375 votes.[4] Roughly two-thirds of the delegates will have been allocated by the end of March 2020. ]
The GOP should do the same.
Winning when 70% dont want you makes no sense. In fact, if conventions continue to exist, they should return to 2/3 required to nominate.
Popular vote good/ electoral college BAD! Except now.

In other words, “Bernie, you will never be the nominee.”
This ol pos is still alive? I thought he went the way of Juan Mccaint
Unless the DNC took out that extra insurance to cover communist fire-bombing, they may not want to antagonize the Bros too much.
My friend is a Dem in Nevada and good friends with Reid. He said they are all FREAKING OUT!
