Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: David Sirota: Bernie would win a brokered convention [View all]still_one
(92,061 posts)10. Ask Hillary hater, what would you expect him to say? Whoever has the most delegates going into a
brokered convention would be favored, and from what I can see outside Sanders base he has very little traction
Perhaps Sirota should pay attention to how fast Warren and Mayor Pete has been gaining
In my view Sanders would have problems with a brokered convention because throughout the years he has wanted to remain outside the Democratic Party, but still receive its benefits. That in my view alone will be an obstacle for him to convince other delegates and SD to jump on his wagon
The other candidates dont have that problem
Time will tell, but after Super Tuesday it should be obvious who are the viable candidates
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Very very unlikely we will have a brokered convention regardless of how many candidates we have now.

If Bernie's only hope is to win this thing via a brokered convention, we're fucked as a party...

I really do think that was one of the more funny means of appeasement.
