It is going to be a convention donnybrook. The only question is, will it be a convention donnybrook that leaves the party in tatters with a nominee hobbled, or will it be a nice, unifying uplifting donnybrook that launches the nominee to victory?
The way it stands now, on June 6th when United States Virgin Islands holds its caucuses, Biden is projected to be slightly closer to locking up the nomination than Sanders.
Biden: 1,738 of 1,991 needed. He now has 453.
Sanders: 1,363 of 1,991 needed. He now has 382.
Of course these are dynamic numbers. Warren has a say, Bloomberg has a say. Democrats in Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Washington, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, etc,… have a say.
Biden should have agreed with Sanders that the person with a plurality at the convention should get the nomination. I wonder if Bernie has a different take on that question now?
