Do you really think the Democrat bosses in the smoke filled back rooms are going to let Petie close to the nomination much less their candidate for POTUS?
But they are in a real pickle because Buttigieg will likely get blown out in SC and just about every other red Southern state. My money is still on Bernie getting the nod. Especially if he plays the long game and settles for #2 in most states. He may well end up with the most delegates by convention time.
Remember how he hung tough against Hillary in 2016 almost to the very end?
