1. why would ever come down to just either of those 2 choices? Is biden going somewhere?

[thesquanderer]

4. Biden might be (if he runs out of cash), but Bloomberg is a different story...

...so it's still hard to see a scenario where the only choices are Sanders and Buttigieg.

2. If you want to see a GOP landslide - and the throne eventually passed down to Eric Trump

[highplainsdem]

3. Eric? What I've read and heard suggests they're planning to have Don Jr. run in 2024.

[dalton99a]

6. Eric is in the line of succession regardless

Could be Jr. -> Ivanka -> .... -> .... -> Eric

or Ivanka -> Jr. -> .... -> .... -> Eric

(Ivanka really means Javanka)

Depends on which side of the bed he gets out of

8. Where are Stannis and Renly in all of this? n/t

10. +100000

5. This poll demonstrates what I think we saw coming out of Iowa.

For Democrats on the left Mayor Pete is the preferred center-lane candidate.

Keep in mind that Iowa is not a liberal state, but that Iowa Democrats tend to be very liberal. Also keep in mind that the caucus system attracts the most committed citizens because it takes a lot of energy and dedication to caucus. As such, we should see the Iowa results as a reflection of the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Iowa caucuses do not, in any way, reflect the majority or the "center" of the Democratic Party.

For its part, Democratic Underground is quite liberal compared to the party as a whole, so it should not surprise us to find that DU's liberals like Mayor Pete (as our preferred center-lane candidate). Once the less-liberal people in the party get a vote in the primaries, a different center-lane candidate may take the lead. I see Mayor Pete as the left's preferred center-laner.

7. What if it comes down to

no candidate reaching the requisite 1990+ delegates to clinch the nomination? That is a real possibility that no one is really talking about.

A brokered convention is gonna get real nasty.

12. Superdelegates don't vote until the second round, I believe

In 2016, the majority had declared by now. This year, according to the Wiki, there are still 573 who haven't declared. I'm hoping this is indicative of them watching to see who the voter's primary choice is and supporting that candidate. I would hate to see someone in third or fourth place get the nomination solely on the decision of party insiders.

9. I went from Bernie in 2016 to Pete in 2020 (Iowa caucus-goer). But will

still proudly vote for whoever becomes our nominee.

14. If Sanders does pull off a win,

we MUST UNITE BEHIND HIM. I’m skeptical of his chances in swing states also but we have to get Trump out of our Whitehouse.

[gollygee]

17. Agree

He can't win and I'm afraid of someone who has no chance of winning the GE getting the nomination

[Cha]

18. KICK

[BusyBeingBest]

13. Bernie. Without hesitation.

[greenjar_01]

15. The Sanders people send me to Buttigieg

[Laelth]

16. You will be welcomed, I assure you. n/t
