Joe won't need either of them.

He can get enough delegates from Amy, Pete, his own plus 79% of the super delegates (of which he already has a number).

Even if he's short, he can play Warren off against Bloomberg to cut the best deal. Or go after their individual delegates after the first round of voting.

We have to see how the vote turns out. But if it has swung as much as Nate seems to think it has, their king making would seem rather limited.

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

What happened to the idea that the delegate "leader" should be the nominee? George II Mar 2020 #4

Only Sanders fans feel that way. Joe Biden will respect the process. AGeddy Mar 2020 #8

I think there will be a winner before the Convention bucolic_frolic Mar 2020 #10

Warren is running to solve America's problems. Bloomberg is running for his ego. Big difference. LonePirate Mar 2020 #12
