People have been saying "brokered convention" for a while now, some, hopefully {waves hand wildly! ?}, some in horror. If Bernie can pay-off the super-delegates, things will get interesting. However, just recalling what happened to the super-delegates when the Obama people threatened them, I am not sure Bernie has that kind of party-power, although the Bernie Bros can be a nasty lot. IMO, he'd have to win it on delegates before the convention. We will know in about a month if it is possible.A 2020 DNC refresher: </snip> In 2020, there will be 4,750 delegates: 3,979 pledged delegates and 771 automatic delegates—more commonly known as superdelegates. To win the Democratic nomination, a presidential candidate must receive support from a majority of the pledged delegates on the first ballot: 1,991 pledged delegates.If the convention is contested and goes to a second ballot or more, automatic delegates will be able to vote and a candidate must receive majority support from all delegates: more than 2,375 votes. Roughly two-thirds of the delegates will have been allocated by the end of March 2020. </snip> Edited February 22, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 14 hours ago, section122 said: Speaking to reporters in Bakersfield, California, Friday afternoon, Sanders confirmed that his campaign was briefed about the Kremlin's efforts about a month ago and condemned Russia's attempts to interfere in US elections. "It was not clear what role they're going to play. We were told that Russia, maybe other countries, are going to get involved in this campaign, and look, here's the message to Russia: stay out of American elections," Sanders said. "And what they are doing, by the way, the ugly thing that they are doing, and I've seen some of their tweets and stuff, is they try to divide us up. That's what they did in 2016 and that is the ugliest thing they are doing -- is they are trying to cause chaos, they are trying to cause hatred in America." What a terrible guy. I repeat: here's the message to Russia: stay out of American elections," Sanders said. "And what they are doing, by the way, the ugly thing that they are doing, and I've seen some of their tweets and stuff, is they try to divide us up. That's what they did in 2016 and that is the ugliest thing they are doing -- is they are trying to cause chaos, they are trying to cause hatred in America." What more can the guy say? I think delicious schadenfreude would be watching this place melt down over "Russian interference" for the next 4 years if Sanders wins. The way so many of you are scared of the "commie" reeks of TDS. I urge all of you to take just one step back and breathe. You must all be sick of Trump is the worst ever and will be the destruction of America!! yet here so many of you are ready to proclaim the same for Sanders. edit: also what's with the editorializing? I see nothing about "releasing the hounds" he lets off a sarcastic they are great friends talking about the WaPo and that is it. He doesn’t have to say anymore than he’s already said, and he’s said a lot. There is no need to step back, to take a breath, take a view from 30,000 feet or to get out if the weeds. The part about this demagogue yapping about “chaos and hatred in America” is priceless. His entire campaign is based on hatred and rage against a system, ironically a system which has brought him incredible personal power and financial prosperity.

One more point, certainly understood by most on this board. It's easy for people to rage against a "system", but by system, I actually mean "people". Hatred, division, and aggression against those who do not kneel at Greta's infamous wall must, by extension, be marginalized, beaten into submission or worse. Sanders needs his people to rage against people, and just moves the goalposts as necessary. Btw the jamoke who pointed out snopes review of the Sanders 52% tax plan missed the pointing about Sanders banging those at 250,000k + at 40% or higher. Sure, it makes perfect sense to become successful, invest in yourself and you dreams to earn $300k and work until April 23 for the feds skim before you're free of that debt, at which time you can consider the obligation to your state govt for another 30 days or so and by maybe mid-June start putting something aside for yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
