Highlight:

I'm confident that Biden, Bloomberg, Buttegieg and Warren will work out a deal to have a nominee... [View all] brooklynite Jan 2020 OP

Suspect Bloomberg's long strategy is to really go for it - only if JB gets undercut enough. empedocles Jan 2020 #1

Sanders will do whatever he can to scuttle the party if it isn't him. We've already seen that movie. brush Jan 2020 #2

Agreed wiley Jan 2020 #3

So you're saying that only Sanders will follow a democratic process? FBaggins Jan 2020 #4

Yeah, all they care about is that "good of the country" nonsense LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #5

Interesting FBaggins Jan 2020 #8

No, most Democrats go all in for the notion of having a Democrat win the election LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #9

They are in no sense contradicatory things FBaggins Jan 2020 #10

Again, no. This is not a national referendum; it is a political party choosing the best candidate LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #11

Perhaps you should read the OP before commenting on a thread? FBaggins Jan 2020 #13

Candidates bow out and throw their support to others all the time. Is this your first election? LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #14

Lol... that clearly isn't what the OP is talking about. FBaggins Jan 2020 #15

Sure it is; there's nothing in the rules that prevent them from doing preciely that, and LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #16

Again... you should read the OP FBaggins Jan 2020 #17

Nothing can "fix" it if Sanders is determined to disrupt the process; however, a deal like the OP LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #19

Again... you keep confusing "the process" with this new "how do we avoid Sanders?" 'process' FBaggins Jan 2020 #22

Stunning extremes BS supporters go to trying to counter the spoiler perception and cast emmaverybo Jan 2020 #28

See Post #2 brush Jan 2020 #18

I'm not interested in violating the "Don't keep fighting the last primary" rule FBaggins Jan 2020 #21

Depends how the delegate counts look. DanTex Jan 2020 #6

Any "deals" must respect the candidate with the plurality of delegates. bluewater Jan 2020 #20

plurality means more people do not want him/her than want him/her nt msongs Jan 2020 #33

That would be true for a Biden plurality, right? bluewater Jan 2020 #35

well, now. That was a little uncalled for. wyldwolf Jan 2020 #12

Allow me to elaborate... brooklynite Jan 2020 #23

ANY "deal" will have to respect the candidate with the plurality of delegates bluewater Jan 2020 #24

Exactly +1 LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #25

A point well taken and supported by past history. emmaverybo Jan 2020 #29

As Brooklynite said, Sanders having the most delegates is not the scanrio in question LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #32

My grandson is a saidsimplesimon Jan 2020 #26

The nominee WILL have a plurality of delegates...... getagrip_already Jan 2020 #27

Bloomberg, Buttegieg and Warren will be facing the problem of the delegate threshold. Aaron Pereira Jan 2020 #31

Terrible strategy, regardless how legal it is dbolski Jan 2020 #34

Superdelegates are there to represent the party. Democrats understand that. LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #36

When have they not? When they were petitioned by candidates to overturn ehrnst Feb 2020 #38

You are correct. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #37
