Will Bernie submit and go quietly into the night?

I don't think so. This is his last fling, he must prevail in the next debate and on the trail thereafter or his whole political lifespan is set to naught. He will help to bring down Joe.

Will Bloomberg spend $1 billion to deny trump the White House?

Maybe, but will it work? Spending billions did not work for Hillary and it probably will not work for Biden. Both are remarkably poor candidates, albeit for different reasons. Hillary was probably the most disliked woman of her age and Joe Biden is trespassing on senility and has become a national embarrassment. Worse, he is thoroughly corrupt and therein lies the similarity between Hillary and Biden, both are thoroughly corrupt.

Will the media distort heaven and earth to keep Joe alive?

Yes indeed. Will it work? It will require a continuous job of rehabilitation as Joe makes gaffe after gaffe. It is too late, four decades too late, to create a new biography for Joe. He is on video with his gaffes and his admissions of plagiarism. Normally the media bolsters a Democrat candidate by turning them into John F. Kennedy reincarnated, a task which is impossible with Joe Biden. The media also bolsters a Democrat candidate by smearing his Republican opponent. Trump is now as damaged as he is ever going to be.

Will the coronavirus bring down trump? That is an open question where the data as well as the jury still out.

Someone definitely brought in the fixers to revive Biden’s campaign. That someone really doesn’t want Bernie to be the nominee. Was it the DNC? Soros? Putin? Who knows, but some power broker pulled the strings and all of a sudden Biden’s on the way up and Bernie’s being tossed out the back door into the trash bin.

We’ve all been wondering for days. All evidence points to, “It’s a trap, Luke!” They can’t be serious about Biden. There has to be something else going on.

Yes, Bernie will go quietly into the night. Some folks might even be surprised at how cheaply he sells out, too.

His SUPPORTERS are a whole different story. I get a sense that as many as 20% of them will end up voting for Trump — and many of them not reluctantly, either.

Virus should taper off and end by hot weather summer. Typical when flu season ends. Then things can return to normal, get stock mkt back on track for Nov election.

The Dems will nominate Biden, then put someone on the underticket (Hillary? Booker? Harris?) who they think has a better chance of winning. If Hillary, the Clintons will find some way to assassinate Biden. If Booker or Harris, the party will suddenly discover Biden is mentally incompetent, remove him from the ticket, and put Booker or Harris in Biden’s place.
