Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
At this point, it's almost completely unlikely that Bernie will have enough delegates for an uncontested convention, and yet he will almost certainly be the far and away winner of the plurality of delegates going into the convention. Will the Democratic Party be able to survive depriving Bernie of the nomination in two straight elections? This circling the wagons of the Democratic establishment in the runup to Super Tuesday is astonishing to watch, especially considering that in some places, with the early voting, it may not even make much of a difference. Milwaukee in mid July is going to be amazing for political junkies.

My wife literally sealed up her mail in ballot like an hour before the Booty announcement was made. Since she voted for Booty, I asked if she wants to rip it up and choose someone else, she said "No, I really don't like anyone else."
I'm voting for Bernie in the primary because I want to see complete chaos at the convention.

Pete is now endorsing Biden as well.

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
The PA primary isn't until May 15th, by which time my vote in the Democratic primary will likely no longer matter. I'd have a hard time voting for Biden, Bernie, or Bloomburg. I was voting for Pete to cast my vote for someone who would be under the age of 78 when possibly taking office in January. For reference, Pope Francis was only 76 when he became Pope. So young.SDHornet wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 1:12 pmGannonFan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 12:52 pm At this point, it's almost completely unlikely that Bernie will have enough delegates for an uncontested convention, and yet he will almost certainly be the far and away winner of the plurality of delegates going into the convention.

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
An epic down ballot loss in the general election in Nov that a Bernie ticket will likely result for the DNC will mean they will have to purge the Marxist bullshit, or risk completely being irrelevant on the national stage for a while. At least that is my hope anyways. No other way the DNC will ever have my vote for a meaningful election otherwise

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
How can one say this when there's been a grand total of four primaries to date? You need 1991 delegates to win the nomination.GannonFan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 12:52 pm At this point, it's almost completely unlikely that Bernie will have enough delegates for an uncontested convention, and yet he will almost certainly be the far and away winner of the plurality of delegates going into the convention.

At this point Bernie has SIXTY. Biden has 54. There are 3979 available. You're calling a contested convention with literally 2% of the vote in?

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
Because the DNC primaries are proportional votes. So unless Biden or Bernie drops out, they (and the other candidates) will keep splitting up the delegates in each primary so one of them will enter the convention with a plurality and not a majority. At that point all hell breaks loose and the super delegates likely decide the nominee (biden) on the 2nd go around.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 2:18 pmHow can one say this when there's been a grand total of four primaries to date?

The Delaware primary is in April.

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
Well, that and the likely outcomes of the votes tomorrow when more than 1/3 of the delegates are up. Even fivethirtyeight moved the chances of a contested convention to 60% now following SC. I don't know if it's ever been that high.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 2:18 pmHow can one say this when there's been a grand total of four primaries to date?

As long as Mini Mike isn't elected, I don't really give a fuck who wins in November. None are good choices, but Bloomberg would be truly awful.
