Those
collective sighs you have been hearing from the political arena are coming from the Democratic
National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic establishment.
The
thought of Bernie Sanders winning the presidential nomination was a looming
disaster.
Not
exactly sure what to do without completely alienating Sanders and his very
loyal supporters, Biden was the DNC and Democratic establishment’s last hope,
and things looked dim.
Then
South Carolina happened, and a potential way around the Sanders convention
victory appeared.
Biden
won the South Carolina primary, and the much-anticipated arrival of Bloomberg fizzled
in a trail of money.
More
than likely with a little help from the DNC, Klobuchar and Buttigieg decided to
walk the party line and ended their campaign immediately announcing their
support for Biden, and he rocketed to an astounding victory on Super Tuesday.
It
is now a two-person race, or is it?
As
of this writing, the delegate count is Biden 582, Sanders 515, Warren 64.
As
the DNC and the Party establishment go all in on Biden, Bernie is going to be fending
for himself. He cannot count on any help from the DNC, and if he is close to
Biden or even leading slightly in the delegate count, he will have to navigate
a serious attempt to take the nomination from him.
The
still unanswered question is: if Bernie loses the nomination and feels like the
party “took” it from him will he still honor his pledge to support the nominee?
This
is Bernie’s last bite at the apple. There will not be another Sanders for
President campaign. Bernie feels a great attachment to his loyal supporters and
is fiercely believes in the movement they have started.
Is
he willing to let that all fade away, without at least giving them a chance to
vote for him for president? And a direction for the future of the movement?
How
about a Sanders for President, Warren for Vice President third Party ticket?
