(145,839 posts)17. How Bernie Sanders Thinks He'll Win the Nomination
This is an older article that shows that sanders has been shooting for a contested convention without majority support https://politicalwire.com/2019/04/18/how-bernie-sanders-thinks-hell-win-nomination/
The Atlantic: Hes counting on winning Iowa and New Hampshire, where he was already surprisingly strong in 2016, and hoping that Cory Booker and Kamala Harris will split the black electorate in South Carolina and give him a path to slip through there, too. And then, Sanders aides believe, hell easily win enough delegates to put him into contention at the convention. They say they dont need him to get more than 30 percent to make that happen.
