Winner take all was Trump’s friend in 2016.
If Bernie has 41% of the delegates by the end of Super Tuesday he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. Simply inertia will bring him over the top. Remember that President Trump ended up in the same position. Cruz and Kasic were the last two standing and could not come together. None of the ones left will be willing to drop out for the other. Not going to happen. Bloomberg won’t be able to throw ten billion into the race and make any difference. We have a lesson from history that teaches this. The forces of Senator Goldwater were determined, even though at the times they were not in the majority. But a combination of winning the right primaries and the “moderates” not coming together (Scranton, Rockefeller) ended up giving the 1964 Republican nomination to Goldwater.
