Bloomie vs Bernie!

But even the most optimistic projections for Sanders do not give him a majority of pledged delegates.

Brokered convention, for sure.

Nate Silver's delegate projections through Super Tuesday — which show Sanders with 41%, followed by Bloomberg and Joe Biden with 18% each. "If this happens, Sanders would have a pledged delegate lead he’ll never relinquish."

So, isn't this the idea of having a primary, selecting a winner?

The problem for Sanders is proportional assignment of delegates. In a winner-takes-all system where getting a plurality nonetheless gets you all the delegates, Sanders is a shoo-in. Currently, it looks like Bloomberg maybe ends up at #2, but buys up the delegates from the also-rans, thereby steamrolling Sanders at the convention.

And with a brokered convention, there will be cry for Hillary. That cry will become many and the convention will nominate Hillary!

So he’s spent himself into second place.

Now he’s calling for all the laggards to drop out - except for Elizabeth Warren. Yeah ok.

Liddle Mikey will have to go 3rd party then, which would probably reduce the D party to a 3rd place finish and assure a Trump landslide.

Everytime Bernie runs for office he personally profits in homes and cash. What a racket.

Bloomberg is a Laggard and should take this advice and drop out.

Interesting to see who the superdelegates were in 2016 and how so few supported Bernie, most all supported Hillary. Click on the sate to see who they are and who they supported. Hillary probably still controls many superdelegates and not a one will vote for Bernie. https://ballotpedia.org/Superdelegates_and_the_2020_Democratic_National_Convention

What dire circumstances? Bernie manages to gain the nomination, goes on to face Trump, and in classic economic fashion, the good economy wins over the “social injustice” view of the world, and Trump stays in office.

Mike Bloomberg just blew several billion in a vanity show, a little bit of grandstanding, but he won’t go on to miss any meals.
