Any chance Bernie moves a little to the center at the convention?

It's clear at this point that, barring a political earthquake, Bernie will have a large delegate lead heading into the convention.

But the moderates added together will likely have more delegates. I think that might give Bernie both the incentive and a face-saving way to agree to a platform which is less revolutionary. Realistically, everyone should know that, with the filibuster in the Senate (even assuming we take the Senate) not to mention Manchin, Sinema, etc, Bernie's not going to get his agenda passed anyway.

I would much prefer a more moderate candidate, but Bloomberg's ego has made it inevitable that Bernie will have a large delegate lead, and I don't think we as a party can deny him the nomination under these circumstances. Especially if he shows some willingness to compromise on his platform. Anyone think there's a good chance he'd agree to do so?

1. Hope to god he doesn't get the nomination

[Squinch]

2. A couple of dozen delegates out of 4000 have been apportioned. Nothing is clear.

4. Nate Silver predicts Bernie will have 41% of delegates after Super Tuesday

Biden and Bloomberg 18% each. Hard to see what will happen between now and Super Tuesday which will stop Bernie's momentum.

We are so fucked.

3. Bernie is and always has been a rigid ideologue.

He won't budge an inch because everybody else is wrong.

5. maybe a moderate vp?

i think there is a good possibility, that bernie will have enough delegates to cinch nomination, i can see joe biden and other candidates dropping out when its mathematically impossible to catch up to the front runner.

6. Hell no.

He will lose and take many House seats with him. A damn shame we night not have a Democrat running as our nominee
