9. Bloomberg will (if necessary)

He has no choice. Bloomberg is on trump's enemies list big time. If 45 gets a second term Barr, will go after him, his friends and family, everyone who matters to him. He knew that when he entered the race. Mike is pulling no punches (quite the opposite). I have no doubt he would back Bernie 100% (if he has to).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

DNC just has to get behind Bernie [View all] cilla4progress Feb 2020 OP

They have no choice. walkingman Feb 2020 #1

DNC WILL get behind Bernie...Tom Perez knows he has no choice if he wants to remain DNC Chairman. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #30

He is not the one. And will never be the one. Nope. Never. OneMoreCupOfCoffee Feb 2020 #2

Agree Green Line Feb 2020 #3

Totally agree. Would be the kiss of death. democratisphere Feb 2020 #5

Not that long ago I would have agreed. But he truly does have a path to the nomination. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #6

Bernie is polling at HALF his 2016 strength... brooklynite Feb 2020 #16

OTOH, he's consistently polled better than anyone else besides Biden... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #20

2016 was a 2-person race. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #37

well if you want to go back in time to 2016 feel free to do so booley Feb 2020 #46

Yes, as you point out, Bernie's makin inroads with POC & young people is the KEY to Bernie's surge! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #33

And this year, Super Tuesday includes California, which used to vote in June, now votes in March. Liberty Belle Feb 2020 #35

CA had been on Super Tuesday consistently before 2012. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #38

California skews liberal. Please point me to source where Sanders self-identifies as a liberal. OneMoreCupOfCoffee Feb 2020 #44

He's certainly to the left of Bloomberg, Biden, Buttigieg and Klobucher. Liberty Belle Feb 2020 #45

Wow peoli Feb 2020 #10

i hope you are right ..... you sure seem sure in your statement !! trueblue2007 Feb 2020 #14

If he gets to 1990 delegates, they will scheming daemons Feb 2020 #7

LOL Scurrilous Feb 2020 #8

Which is still 500% more delegates than Biden has FWIW Tiggeroshii Feb 2020 #11

Bloomberg will (if necessary) denem Feb 2020 #9

Has he earned it? Is there anything in his dossier that shows he deserves it? He will get DNC. krissey Feb 2020 #13

I thought that was berniebots major whistler162 Feb 2020 #15

Will he get behind the DNC? greatauntoftriplets Feb 2020 #17

The DNC should not show a preference ripcord Feb 2020 #18

They can show a preference the minute a candidate gets to 1,990 delegates scheming daemons Feb 2020 #22

Thanks cilla4progress Feb 2020 #25

Well, if you believe Sherod Brown, he was just on MoJoe... Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2020 #19

Ummm... cilla4progress Feb 2020 #24
