It's too late to get into the primaries, but he could still be substituted in a brokered convention.

That could be part of it - Hillary will get delegates from the states where registration for the primary ballot has closed. They become free agents if she drops out, or alternatively could follow her direction to support Biden.

But how many of the big delegate states (CA, NY, FL, TX) have ended their registration period at this point? Can Biden still enter and get to the number of regular delegates he needs if he grabs the Super Delegates?

Crossover voters exist between Trump and Bernie... and crossovers between Hillary's working class whites (few that they are) and Trump.

Also, blacks who have been primed for 'the wife of the first black President’ are not going to switch happily to an old white elite like Joe. They're having a hard enough time voting for Hillary... and they definitely don't get Bernie.

If dems do a double cross move for Joe, Trump's President.
