Nightmare Chaos: Democrats Plot/Expect a Brokered Convention
The Democrat convention rules require a candidate to get an outright majority of all delgates' votes on the first ballot, or else it goes to a second ballot, and becomes a so-called "brokered convention."
And on the second ballot, delegates are permitted to vote for candidates other than those they're pledged to. And also -- the Establishment "SuperDelegates," the party hacks and Hillary dependents, get to vote on the second ballot and any subsequent ballots. Mike Bloomberg has realized he can't wain the race, at least not by regular delegates. The "Bloomberg Fever" he'd been hoping for failed to infect America. So instead he's plotting to stay in the race and come in second place (or, who knows, third or fourth), and try to deny Sanders his first ballot majority. And then convince the SuperDelegates and delegates for other alleged "moderates" to vote for him. By the way, yeah, I think that Bloomberg's "arguments" will consist of money changing hands. Oh wait, that's silly; Democrats are about fairness , not money.Politico fears a brokered convention could "devolve into chaos." You had me at "devolve into chaos."
The Hill reports that Democrats once thought the idea of a brokered convention was too implausible to entertain, but now think it's likely. They also think it's "the biggest nightmare." You had me at "devolve into chaos" and "the biggest nightmare."
Mike Bloomberg is privately lobbying Democratic Party officials and donors allied with his moderate opponents to flip their allegiance to him -- and block Bernie Sanders -- in the event of a brokered national convention. The effort, largely executed by Bloomberg’s senior state-level advisers in recent weeks, attempts to prime Bloomberg for a second-ballot contest at the Democratic National Convention in July by poaching supporters of Joe Biden and other moderate Democrats, according to two Democratic strategists familiar with the talks and unaffiliated with Bloomberg. ... The rule prohibiting superdelegates, or automatic delegates, from voting on the first ballot of a contested convention was instituted only after the last convention, which followed a primary in which superdelegates overwhelmingly sided against Sanders and with the establishment-oriented Clinton. ... If Sanders secures a plurality of delegates but loses the nomination on a second ballot, many moderate and progressive Democrats alike predict the national convention in Milwaukee would devolve into chaos.
Who's dropping out if the prospect of a brokered convention, where anyone can make a case why they should be the nominee, can win? The very notion of a potential brokered convention almost guarantees that enough candidates will stay in that will in turn guarantee a brokered convention. Meanwhile, the creepy homosexual geek Pete Buttigiege is now calling on Bloomberg to drop out of the race.
One Democrat who worked on two campaigns for former President Obama called a brokered convention "the biggest nightmare Democrats can imagine." "If you want to see a complete shit show, tune in to the brokered convention," the Democrat said. Adam Parkhomenko, who worked on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, said "this is currently heading for a convention fight at this rate." "If the number of candidates scoring in the double-digits that are splitting delegates continue to do so through Super Tuesday and beyond, it’s just math, unless all of a sudden a number of candidates drop out," he said.
This is of course in response to Bloomberg's call for others to drop out.
Pete Buttigieg's campaign called on Michael Bloomberg to drop out of the Democratic presidential race following his rough debate performance, flipping the Bloomberg campaign's argument about the threat of Bernie Sanders back onto Bloomberg.
"If Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar remain in the race despite having no path to appreciably collecting delegates on Super Tuesday (and beyond), they will propel Sanders to a seemingly insurmountable delegate lead by siphoning votes away from [Bloomberg]," the Bloomberg memo read.Everything about Buttigieg is annoying. He's a repellent creep of scarcely average intelligence who is convinced that everything he does is super-clever and ultra-cute. Meanwhile, The Bulwark is in panic mode that Pierre Omidyar will make them endorse Sanders if he's the nominee if they want to be able to afford groceries.
Barring a drastic change in the race, Bernie Sanders is going to be the presumptive Democratic nominee 11 days from now. 11 days!!!

That would be fine, I reckon. He also seems to challenge some other notions: that humans react better to members of their own species, perhaps. That they want their current mode of existence to continue. That they feel a connection to their families, and relatives. That they have ideas other than those absorbed through a TV screen. Maybe more.

The point is you started as an actual player, sent by your state party to best represent your state.
This superdelegate nonsense is stupid. Throw it to the elites? Really?
The upside is that it will give them a stupid result and the stupid nominee will have a demotivated base and will lose like a loser.

The entire story is based around a comment that the Russians would rather work with Trump than the Democrat candidates. That's it. So would a lot of other nations.

Bernie's gonna have a clear majority by the convention. Super Tuesday is going to put him so far ahead of everyone else while giving everyone else delegates so they can argue about keeping on. The anti-Bernie element won't consolidate enough, not nearly enough, and Bernie will simply gain voters as others lose interest in their initial first choices and move to the front runner.

764 Super Delegates, or about 15%.
So, unless someone has a about 35% of the pledged delegates AND the support of the Supers?
It comes down to back room deal making, at which Bloomburg with his Billions, has an edge.
We may see just how much it costs to buy off the Democrat party.

About 1/3 Identity politics now split between the Affirmative Action Woman candidate, and the Affirmative action Gay candidate.

I think it's a natural outcome of their fundamental ideology - they have been pushing tribalism and factionalism long and hard, and no one stopped to consider what that would mean when it struck close to home. (which of course it was going to) One thing about the old-school communists, they were always fanatical about pushing Loyalty to the Party above all else. This modern bunch thought that sounded to much like Loyalty to the Country, so they threw it all out and encouraged everyone to protest everything, no compromises.
And now we're going to see a pack of factions who all believe "my way or the highway!" and "no Compromises!!!" and they're all supposed to sing Kum By Yah together.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll see a brokered convention. This primary seems VERY similar to Trump's in 2016. After a few more wins, more candidates will drop out, and most primary voters will back Bernie or not vote. He'll get a majority of delegates and clinch the nomination.

I think you're correct, that's where the left is now. They've devolved into nothing more than offense-takers and protesters. How could it end any other way than in conflict, with each sub group and faction fighting the others for supremacy? They have no clear leader to gel around and their natural tendency will be for each special interest group and machine to try to take over. Will to Power is all that's left when you reject ethics and truth.

What concerns me is that he is smart, clever, and sly, in the same sense that Clinton and Obama were.

He shows with real math (not Democrat "new math") how raising min wage to $15/hr minus the taxes Bernie wants to raise, cuts those at min wage to $7.20/hr.

The chaos candidate is now probably an establishment pick. Bernie's the front runner. Bloomberg needs votes to help his charade continue.

We want him as the frontrunner.
They're going to steal it from him.
The stronger he is with primary delegates the worse the theft is.

I am undecided about this yet. My inclination has been to vote Bernie in the primary, but I'm less certain about that just now.
I would hate to go with Bloomie, without being fairly certain that he will not bow out.
OTOH, since the best laid plans aft gang awry, IF Sanders were actually elected, I would at least know that I had not played a part in it. Damned cold comfort.

Bernie talks about socialist revolutions and gives into every leftist daydream that comes across his path.

Both can be loud, but only one actually has mass appeal, and that ain't Bernie Sanders.

The income tax makes us Peasants, but with a worse deal than during the Dark Ages.
Peasants usually owed their Lord one days labor per week, or about 17%.
We already owe the State more through Income Taxes.
Now, why the one day per week? Because it WORKED. It was stable. It was doable. More than that and your peasants suddenly became dependent on the Lord of the Manor having to care for them. He would have to use his own wealth to feed them.

Sanders -- the human embodiment of communism. All Trump has to do is bash communism and socialism (an effortless and quite enjoyable task, frankly) and it will sink Bernie.
Bloomberg -- Personal attacks will destroy him. He's a ludicrous figure, with zero charisma, who can simply be mocked off the stage.
Warren -- Her personal unlikeability is her Achilles Heel. All Trump has to to to beat her is act like everyone's best friend, a chummy pal, a nice uncle, and she will look like a screeching abrasive harpy in comparison.
Butty-plug -- In this case, the guy's name makes him unelectable. Just make fun of his name -- it's that simple.

Trump was constantly on the attack, but only about 20% of the time (out-of-my-ass figure/guess) was directed at his opponents. Most of it was directed at external enemies. "Vote for me, and I'll contain China." "Vote for me, and I'll end NAFTA." "Vote for me and I'll deal with illegal invasion from the south." Etc.
He was vicious and personal against his opponents, and policy-driven externally with a good mix overall.

When Bongino interviewed him, he asked Trump whether he had political aspirations given how well he was handling media space. Don Jr. replied with something like, "Who knows about the future. My only goal for this year is getting him re-elected. That's it. That's all I'm doing."

I was actually concerned about Bloomberg. Its been a long time since a mayor became president (Coolidge being the last, only two have made it with Grover Cleveland being the previous one). But NYC is a good stepping stone to the big chair as its practically a major nation of its own with a foreign policy and so on.
Literally, the NYC police work in other states and even in other countries. They literally have an intelligence office there, its a little nation.
And obviously, money talks, very loud. He can afford to spend 30 billion and not even notice the loss. After a certain point you're so wealthy that most of your cash becomes basically expendable without any change to your standard of living.
And, of course, because of that cash, a lot of powerful and important people are beholden to him for donations etc. He has the establishment behind him.
But... he's an awful campaigner with zero charisma. He can't stand his own in a debate and make an impact. He sounds like Elmer Fudd, and unlike Bernie has no zealous backers.

Posted by: Ha
Oh, that's sweet. Couldn't ask for better polling, from our point of view. Sanders back at 13%? Yes! That ensures that he won't get enough delegates to reach the 50% mark before the convention. If we generalize Florida out to being the typical "mixed" or "in-play" or "average" state, that means that Bernie Fever is still limited to Depp Blue hotbeds. In Normal America, he's still a fringe candidate.
And sine no other candidate has even a chance of getting to 50%, that means the it will DEFINITELY be a brokered convention. And then -- the riots, the naked chicks on stage, the tear gas, the bike locks, the suitcases of cash -- sweet Jesus, it will be glorious!

The Hildabeast made a shambles out of the process in 2016 and we are seeing her legacy in a series of anxiety plays because the insiders' and pundits' view is there is no clear definable challenger to the God-Emperor. The candidates and political talking heads let Bernie Sanders set the tune. Then they belatedly realized that post-impeachment Trump would take the gloves off and give Bernie a verbal rope-a-dope that would leave him stunned and bleeding on the ring floor. Now what to do? The answer seems to yell, posture, and point out negatives with a lack of anything positive beyond "free everything to everyone".

It's just the FBI saying that date is a big deal, so we'll give you all the documents we have after that date and we don't have anything before that date because there was no investigation. But it's an arbitrary date, and it doesn't mean that nothing happened before then."

But like Obama, Buttplug thinks his lack of experience and managerial success is meaningless because he went to an "elite" school and got credentialed, plus he should be president because it's time a gay guy got "his turn" at the presidency. It's ludicrous.

Just watch. I bet they blame the carnage on Russia and Trump. Some sinister collusion to maneuver these particular candidates into the Dem race, guaranteeing cannibalistic chaos.

He's got a campaign staff fully (and generously!) funded through November. What's he going to do with it if he bombs out at the "convention"? Keep going -- with or without the DNC.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at February 21, 2020 12:58 PM (G51Gf)
Fully funding his campaign like that is a tell. Bloomberg is old, and Trump stole his spotlight once again as the iconic NYC billionaire by becoming President. This is his last shot. His ego won't let him back down, but to be a credible third party, he needs constituencies.

The voters buy it.
Democrat elected.
Not being cocky, but do you really think the public would buy that after what the Dems have done the last 3 years? Hard to not notice which side has gotten crazier and crazier with protests, threats, ugly rhetoric, negative campaigning.
I would think the bigger concern is a false flag "white nationalist/ "crazy Q follower" attack that gets pinned on Trump, something like what happened in NZ, or what just happened in Germany.

Don't overthink it. They're certainly not. They're counting on 90% of the electorate not having a fucking clue the number of ways that Trump has fucked Putin over these last 3-years.
They still think it's November 2016 and half the country believes their BS.

Milwaukee's mayor first has to admit the police can't handle it and calls the governor.
Then the governor has to admit the Army National Guard can't handle it and calls the President.
And only then can the President send in troops.
By then Milwaukee will be a smoking shell.

466 I want to see an ad from Trump about all the promises he didn't meet in his first term. Not his promises, but the Democrats' Strawman Trump promises. Didn't nuke anyone. Didn't get his LGBT death camps running. Didn't wreck the economy. Just a full minute of Democrats spouting BS and Trump admitting that his administration didn't do any of the things Dems used as scare tactics.

His smug sense of superiority is very annoying. If he's as smart as he thinks he is, then why is South Bend such a f*cking mess? There's a reason why the gay mayor's constituents don't like him, and it isn't because he's gay -- it's because he's ineffective.
But like Obama, Buttplug thinks his lack of experience and managerial success is meaningless because he went to an "elite" school and got credentialed, plus he should be president because it's time a gay guy got "his turn" at the presidency. It's ludicrous.

Yes, but if you were really smart, you would ditch those unworkable policies in favor of policies that make sense.
That fact that Buttplug doesn't do that proves that he's not smart. Not smart at all.

Spent last weekend with my 81-year old mother-in-law. Probably voted for one Republican in her life, maybe. Thinks Trump is a lying-liar-who-lies. Consumes a steady diet of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS. Grew-up knowing that "Uncle Walter" (Cronkite) would never, ever lie to her.
Quoting now... "I just don't think I can believe any of them anymore". When sainted bride followed-up with, "Trump? Politicians?" she responded with "The News".
So there's that.

TDS is so strong they can *know* what Trump tells them to do is their best strategy, they can *know* that Trump telling them to do it is so they won't and therefore harm themselves strategically. And still they will do the opposite of what Trump says just to scratch their TDS itch.
Any sane society would diagnose that as a dangerous psychosis. But in Soviet Western Civilization your insane if you *DON'T* act that way.
