Warren will drop out. As will Biden at this point. Sanders best case scenario is him versus Bloomberg.

Breh, this contested convention stuff seems real. Bloomberg is 2nd place in so many Super Tuesday polls or tied at first. Plus he has unlimited money :mindblown:

Perhaps is just soft support...

All we need is one moment of the candidates making him look like a bum and that will be reported all over the news. Bloomberg is 5’4 also.

maybe Obama will save us :francis: We're gonna find out if Bloomberg can get people to the polls. we've never seen this.
“Obama is going to look at the [delegate math to determine] the outcome. If the math brings someone [to the nomination], he’ll back it in full,” one person who still speaks with the former president told me recently. “His biggest dilemma is if Bernie is at 35-40 [percent of the delegates], and no one else is [at] 20. Does he say, ‘You have to go with who won [a plurality of] the delegates, and who looks to be the true front-runner?’”

“There is no way Barack Obama is intervening, unless something very strange happens,” said a friend who’s heard his reasoning. “He just doesn’t have that in him.” Even if he felt like speaking out against Sanders specifically, he knows such a statement would likely ruin his standing on the left and almost certainly divide the party just when it needs uniting, according to multiple people who’ve spoken with him about the race.

I mean this is definitely going to a brokered convention so Dems can either nominate the guy who got the most votes or they can get a second term of Trump. We will get what we deserve

Exactly fam. The super delegates have never overruled the person with the most pledged delegates to my knowledge. If Bernie‘a next closest competitor barely has two thirds his votes, there’s no spin that they could use to get away with stealing the nomination.

It wouldn’t just guarantee trump either, you’d effectively see the next two generations of voters alienated from the process. They’d effectively kamikaze the Democratic Party by selecting anyone else. If Bloomberg closes the gap and it’s close then I’ll start to worry but for now, I think we’re good.

It's crazy how it feels like everyone trying to flex power is against Bernie, yet a combination of fortuitous circumstances, their own errors, and Bernie's legitimacy is causing damn near everything to break in his direction. Some of us are talking "oh crap this, oh crap that", but if you take for granted that a huge number of people were gonna be a$$holes who didn't want Bernie to win....it is AMAZING how consistently the circumstances have favored him anyway.

* Biden collapsing
* Warren's attacks backfiring
* Buttigieg pulling away the centrists in the first two states and then being unviable after that
* Bloomberg not even being eligible in the first few states and then flying it to pull voters away from the centrists before they can recover from the Buttigieg ambush
* Biden losing his electability cred, Warren losing her progressive cred, Buttigieg shooting himself in the foot with Black voters and those who hate money in politics, Bloomberg having an exposal tape a mile long, and the mainstream media and establishment completely exposing themselves in a manner that Bernie can survive and potentially even get his supporters energized on.

And at the center, I think is just the simple fact that people see Bernie as a real....fellow, and everyone else looking fake as fukk. They can't get nothing on him cause he's always been exactly who he says he is and believes what he's preaching with all his heart, and it's like a fukking vibranium suit that absorbs all the energy tossed at him and sends it right back at em.

It could easily turn at some point. Perhaps their attacks will stop backfiring, or simple bitterness or money-lust will cause so many dems to sit out the general that he can't win. But so far it has been remarkable to see how he's earned every break and you get the feeling it might just continue.

It took a lifetime honestly.



This video should be iconic.

Not to mention the biggest break of them all: the dems wanting to hand Hilary the nom on a platter that they had no one run against her. Forcing the mainstream press to have to give him coverage. Had they just ran a normal primary in 2016 they woulda Ron pauled him.
