electable by the time people actually vote, I expect most people to vote for the candidate most likely to beat Trump.

7. There is a hardcore Sanders contingent with a floor of 15%+

To win Biden has to score a little more than Sanders + Warren - simple math.
The polls may change but the RCP numbers are staring us in the face JB 28. EW 20.6 BS 17.6 Biden +7.7
Biden has not scored more than 31% since July (despite the best efforts of HarrisX).

But that’s not going to mean we have a brokered convention. I understand it’s a discussion board and stuff like this makes for fun speculative entertainment, but in reality it’s a dry hole. Always is.

conman with the native intelligence of a fried egg and the curiosity of a worm, but hey, here we are.

ANYTHING is possible, much to the world's detriment.
