No clear winner of Dem nomination prior to convention
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?
We all agreed last week when Bernie Sanders was the runaway frontrunner that the pledged delegate leader at the end of the race shall be the nominee.
That remains the rule and the deciding metric.
gufaw. we may have said that but only one (failed) candidate supported that idea. I suspect that was a masterful trap. *snap.
now he can go back to trying to reduce the horror of female orgasms AMIRIGHT?
this is 2004 AND 2016 all over again.
the Pied Piper of Burlington wont win another primary. He needs to do whats best and support down ballot progressives if this is about more than his ego. fuck bernie.
Fake Ben, Change your name or you’ll be gone.
nope. real ben (i know you see my email address ;). Same old suspicious-of-bernie Ben as always. He has no path to the nomination. He has no promise of major voter turnout. He’s a dud. He needs to have his followers turn their energy into Senator Scarane and shit like that. Otherwise DD was right and this IS about his ego.
On a lighter note Bloomberg is out and has endorsed Biden, also pledges to use his immense wealth to help remove Trump from the White House. He spent over half a billion with his TV ads.
