the more Dems in the race, the easier it is for no one to have a majority at the Dem convention, then they can do either a draft Gore, or a draft Hillary.

Ain't gonna happen. All of the rules put in place over the last thirty years or so preclude any kind of a "deadlocked convention" resulting. Heck, after "Super Tuesday" there won't be even three candidates left, and within a couple of weeks after that the winner will be so far out in front that their opponents will be forced to cave in.

The Democrats saw what happened on the convention floor in '72 with McGovern vs. Humphrey, and they never, ever want to see anything like that again. Conventions are coronations now, that's all they are.

He ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in 1988.

] Of course the media fails to mention that he left the race because he plaguerized another person's speech. If this were a Republican it would have been mentioned. Anyway, I watched "Slay the Nation" and it was nothing but a dishonest democrat love fest.
