After tonight, I think we're headed to a brokered convention

[Lexblues]

I think it's possible Bernie could have a slight lead of delegates. I think Biden will try to make a splash with Warren or someone else as VP, like Oprah or something, that will give the convention delegates reason to vote for his ticket over a Bernie/Tulsi/Nina Turner ticket. What say you?

[DonaldsRump]

1. Nope. Biden will win.

He won't need Oprah as his running mate.

[squirecam]

2. Abrams is better than Oprah

Nt

[DonaldsRump]

5. Stacey Abrams is a stunning candidate for any office

I expect to continue to see great things from her.

[comradebillyboy]

7. Frankly I have never understood the enthusiasm for Stacy Abrams.

She never won a state wide office and being a state legislator just isn't enough to be considered for the VP spot much less the top spot.

[madville]

12. I've never understood it either

No one would actually pick her as a VP running mate due to her inexperience, particularly with the Senate and Washington. She’ll wind up giving GA Governor a run again in 2022 though.

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. She almost certainly did win

the Governor's race in Georgia, republicons stole it. I also don't think republicons legitimately won the Florida Gov or Senate races.

[BusyBeingBest]

30. Don't get it either. She needs to get vetted by succeeding at

another state-level run for office, at the very least--and then BEING in that office for a term or two. Very risky to pick someone whose life and political skills haven't been examined and tested in a big way, because then it may be a Palin-level disaster. Not saying Abrams is Palin in any way, just that we can't blow this with something less than a known quantity.

9. Where is the Oprah talk coming from?

Did I miss something?

16. by 'win' do you mean he'll surpass Sanders in delegates, but still only have a plurality, or that

Biden will hit 1991 before the convention?

[Skya Rhen]

3. I agree - better for Warren to align herself with him than with Bernie. We lose Florida with Bernie

and she knows it.

[redstateblues]

6. If Bernie wins Florida is immediately gone

[blm]

4. I think a brokered convention is quite possible.

[MoonlitKnight]

8. We will not have a brokered convention

We have had exactly ONE primary and two caucuses.

Things will be much clearer exactly one week from now, in the wee hours of Wipeout Wednesday.

[pbmus]

10. Agreed, at least three candidates will be gone...

[bearsfootball516]

11. It's possible, but the idea that Biden would choose a non-politician for his VP is ludacris

[Celerity]

17. [phone]

[honest.abe]

13. If that happens Joe wins. The Supers will never vote for Bernie.

The Sanders gang will of course go apeshit but we will just have to deal with that when the time comes.

BTW, I think Joe picks Susan Rice or Kamala Harris for VP.

[counting]

14. i dont know about that

tulsi is a Super

[honest.abe]

18. Well that's one for Bernie.

[counting]

[honest.abe]

20. Do you realize how many total Supers there are??

[counting]

21. 771 i think eom.

[honest.abe]

22. The vast majority will vote for Biden.

Guaranteed.

[counting]

23. my point is

some supers will vote for bernie.. that is all

[honest.abe]

24. Ok but my point is the Supers will put Biden over the top.

In that scenario where it ends relatively close.

[Luciferous]

15. Oprah, really?

[Zeus69]

25. I think Warren is not attacking Bernie

Because she's angling for VP slot

[still_one]

26. Unless some of the non-Sanders candidates drop out, Sanders will be the Democratic nominee

Coming into this election we had a lot of things going for us. That advantage has almost completely been reversed, and with Bloomberg and Steyer in the race it makes it even worse

Unfortunately, I don’t think any candidate will drop out until after Super Tuesday, and after that it may be too late to stop Sanders if that occurs

[pinkstarburst]

27. Biden would be wise

to ask Warren to join his ticket NOW before Super Tuesday and try to consolidate some of her voters over to his side. If the current trend continues, he may not be able to catch up to Sanders and if it gets to the point of the convention and Sanders is too far ahead in delegates, taking it away from him will rip the party in two. Biden's best move is to make a move now, both help with the crowded field and potentially gain supporters.

No way is Sanders going to choose Tulsi or Nina Turner. He wants to win. Sanders is smart. He's going to choose someone like Warren, or Julian Castro, or maybe Mayor Pete or Klobuchar if he wants a moderate for a compromise ticket.

I don't get where the Oprah talk keeps coming in, or frankly the Michelle Obama talk. And I say this as someone who respects the hell out of Oprah and Michelle Obama, thinks they are both brilliant, compassionate and generous. But we are talking about the vice presidency for an 80-year-old president. It would be inappropriate for them to be VP in any case with no experience (I don't want to see our highest offices of government filled by one celebrity after the next--let's do Brad Pitt next, then JLo, then Shakira!) and especially this time when Biden, Bernie and Bloomberg are all nearly 80. We need someone experienced who's ready to be president today.

[Cal Carpenter]

28. Lol@ Tulsi or Nina for veep

In no version of reality can I imagine Bernie choosing either for veep.
