How would that work at this point? They haven't been in any debates. The primaries have already started. They have no ground game in place. Bloombutt has money but I doubt Biden has anything. They would have to sweep the country without any momentum. Seems like a non starter to me.

That's not the way it works. It's not about debates and primaries. It's about who can get a majority of delegates in backroom deals at the convention and seemingly unify the Dems enough to run a credible general-election campaign.
The superdelegates are the key. There will be enough of them to give Clinton the nomination, or to deny her the nomination, whichever the Party wants.
If they really want to play hardball, they could even force Clinton to drop out (for "health reasons") under threat of indictment.
I'm not saying it will happen, but nominating Biden or someone else is doable. Biden may not have money, but he would get the Dem party ground force, and he could unify the Clinton and Sanders supporters, who hate each other right now.
Bloomberg, on the other hand, really is a non-starter, in spite of his money. You can't win a general election with a base of limousine liberals. Plus the Dems don't want him to run 3rd party—he'd siphon more D votes than R votes.
