    Bernie Sanders and the Revenge of the Superdelegates

    Unless Bernie Sanders wins enough delegates to capture the Democratic Party nomination on the first ballot,

    he is not going to be the nominee.

    The reason will be that the superdelegates–those same people who were his wrath in 2016–

    will come back to deny him the nomination.

    In 2020 there will be 3,979 delegates to the Democratic National Convention who will be selected as a result of primaries and caucuses.

    To win the nomination one needs 1,991 delegates.

    If Bernie Sanders does not get to this number by the first round,

    the 771 Superdelegates will get to vote, and he will need 2,376 votes to win.

    Fat chance!

    Superdelegates are stupid and anti-cons utional. That's why you should join the Republican party, none of that "because I said so" bullcrap there.

    To call yourselves the "Democratic party" and have an un-democratic primary election process is hypocrisy of epic proportions.

    To play devil's advocate, I kind of like that one news cycle can't make or break a campaign like if the primaries were all done in the same day nationwide.

    Maybe the states should all draw cards and, by random chance order have 5 states each week for 10 consecutive weeks from Feb-April to decide the primaries.

    Have the drawings done the summer before (the summer of the odd numbered year before election year) so the candidates can plan their campaigns accordingly.

    Make sense??

    THE REPUBLICANS PLANNING TO VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA’S DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

    Before the state’s Democratic primary, on February 29th, some conservatives are trying to settle on the least electable candidate.

    Martin is the creator ofTrump 2-29, which is encouraging Republicans to vote for Bernie Sanders in the state’s upcoming Democratic primary, on February 29th.

    “We’re really mad,” Martin told me recently, referring to her fellow-conservatives.

    Mad at how our President has been treated for the past several years

    a political and public-relations consultant from Greenville named Christopher Sullivan has launched a campaign that

    nods more explicitly to Limbaugh’s influence: Operation Chaos 2020.

    its also prohibitively expensive to campaign in all 50 states before weeding out

    Just like the Dems pulled an inside job to get Trump nominated in '16, and it backfired hilariously.

    The head to head poll between Bernie and stop and frisk Mike has Bernie winning by like 15 points.

    Bloomberg’s increasingly outrageous behavior is going to start pissing people and candidates other than Bernie off if it hasn’t already.

    If anyone other than Biden wins SC he’s out.

    If Biden wins SC by 5 points or less he really should be out but he’ll stick around for Super Tuesday at that point.

    Bloomberg can’t win SC. He’s not on the ballot. Lol

    A very interesting poll from ABC. Bloomberg is taking voters from Warren, not Biden. Mostly anyways.

    He’s taking from older whites and people with college degree. He’s doing fairly ty with African American.

    Bernie has been the one eating into Biden’s black support.

    Two SC polls out today has Biden tied and leading by just 2.

    Thing is I'm pretty sure the DNC will meddle and force Amy and Pete to backed Bloomberg. I dont think Warren and Biden will just tell their voters to vote for elite rich guy over there.

    i really cant see him placing a billionaire in his administration due to the optics

    in an interview a while back close to a year ago he said he would probably look for a female VP as well. i honestly think he was eyeing tulsi but she's alienated herself quite a bit

    I don’t think endorsements given by candidates who drop out end up meaning all that much. The RNC tried meddling in 2016 and it didn’t matter. By the time Buttplug and Klobuchar throw in the towel and drop out no one will give a who they endorse.
