That will not happen. Superdelegates and the Democratic establishment won’t “steal” the nomination from Bernie — that just guarantees a left-wing third party campaign. They’ll allow him to be nominated if he wins the majority of the elected delegates.

What they WILL do is defect in large numbers to Bloomberg, and THAT’s a powerful play. Bloomberg vs. Trump and Sanders takes a huge swath of the GOPe and moderate Republican voters from Trump, will have the unanimous support of corporate America, will get a lot of Democratic establishment support, and is perfectly palatable to socially liberal Democrats who are taxpayers or worried about their 401ks.

Basically, the math is kind of like this for different match-ups:

Trump 45% vs. Clinton 40% vs. Sanders (I) 15%. Moderate voters split well to Trump because Clinton unappealing to them.

Trump 53% vs. Sanders (D) 47%. Corporate America quietly backs Trump.

Bloomberg (I) 42% vs. Trump 35% vs. Sanders (D) 23%. Trump wins only hard-core conservative voters; Sanders only wins white liberals as black voters are steered to Bloomberg by their leadership.

I thought Hitlery could steel all the super Delegates. She already did that in NH.

In your opinion, who would win the election?

I see utter chaos on many levels throughout the world by Nov.
