Seeing as how there will be more than 20 likely candidates for the nomination, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Democrats go to their convention with 2 or 3 candidates still in contention. It will make 1968 Chicago look like a walk in the park.

The DNC will just rig it for whomever the power brokers want, just like 2016.

Won’t happen. Superdelegates essentially prevent it.

They aren't using superdelegates for the 2020 primary.

There might be 20 candidates at some point this summer. But, lack of funding (or votes!) will eliminate most of them by the South Carolina Primary. By Nevada (#4 in the list/order), might be just 2-3.

1968 was not a brokered convention. Humphrey clearly had the delegates necessary to be nominated well before the convention convened.

True - With California having their primary early in the process, they will eliminate any candidate with a brain and a conscience well before the convention.

God I hope so.

Either the voting public really is hopelessly stupid or the country has a chance. Let's just go ahead and find out now.

If I were a betting man, that's where my money would go.

She has all the qualities a DEMOCRAT candidate needs - not-white, not-male, anti-American - hostile - unprincipled - arrogant - hypocritical - mendacious - whore-who-will-suck-dicks-to-advance-career, marxist,

She's the complete package.

Dems know this is the chance to beat trump. They won’t allow a brokered convention.

Gillum was the weakest candidate in Florida for governor but almost won because of race . Democrats need the race card to win . A black female no matter how crazy would be a wild card . She will use her sex and race to get weak minded people to vote for her .

Kamala will likely get most of the Cal delegates. Now Texas votes the same day and Beto will win there. I believe Florida votes the same day and probably another candidate will win there. And Booker is the clear choice in the Northeast. So already brokerage appears real, early in the process.

They've always been brokered, that's what the Super Delegates were for.

Harris Beto will be the ticket. I’d be willing to bet. Not sure who’s on top of the ticket

All this noise and chaos is just setting the stage for M. Obama to come in at the right time, denounce all this green crap, baby murder, etc. Then with the help of the lib media, she will be the smart, voice of reason, darling candidate...while simultaneously put a full blown assault on AOC and the rest of the kooks. She has been on a nationwide book tour meeting people for months. Barry, Holder and the corruption crew are busy optimizing their voter fraud schemes, setting up 2020 Dem ticket with, idk....probably Beto as her running mate. Just a hunch.

Michelle would be a game changer, for sure.

With any of the major declared candidates, except for Warren.

Polls consistenly show that mainstream Democratic policy directives, such as Medicare-For-All, a universal living wage, and the Green New Deal have majority support among Likely Voters. Trump remains the odd man out in policy discussions.
