Definitely possible.

More likely if a bunch of dead-enders and grifters get out before Super Tuesday. Hard to win 51% when you've got 9 people running against ya!

Regarding the "there will be more combined votes for moderates than votes for Sanders" thing... how do y'all think Warren and Buttigieg (and hell, probably even Biden) feel about being called "moderates"?

What if I mistake numbers for numbers? As in 50k people attending rallies in 3-4 days. As in getting the most votes. As in getting record numbers of volunteers and donors. As in record-breaking turnout in a state that neighbors his own.

The only numbers that matter are 1) the majority (50%+) of delegates in the primary, and 2) more votes than Trump in the general.

And nobody on the Dem slate is going to get either of those.  But hey, we might pick someone who will lose with enthusiasm and passion, so....hooray.

#2 means jack shit. Any D will achieve that. Hillary fucking Clinton won the popular vote by millions.

Well, that’s fair. Let’s refine it - more votes than Trump in the states that matter.

If I start a "Edgy Nihilist Bullshit Takes" thread will y'all go there?

The sad thing is, among the many things the Trump era has ruined is any "edginess" nihilism once had.  Now, nihilism is just common sense.

I'm not shocked that Sanders cleans up in CA, or that Warren is strong relative to a lot of other places. I'm honestly surprised Biden and Bloomberg are that high there.

So this result would give all the delegates to Sanders?  The 15% threshold applies to every state, right?

Yes, he would get all of them.

Bloomberg isn't surprising at all given his insane spending and a lot of Biden's support has moved to him. I think Biden is screwed big time on Super Tuesday unless he miraculously wins NV and destroys everyone in SC.

The race is too volatile to make predictions. 
 
There are three candidates that could drop dead any day of old age.  

So what happens if the nominee dies in between the convention and the general election?  Does someone else get nominated?

He's crept up to the high 40's in a lot of polls at this point.

That's generous, and further, let's not pretend Rasmussen is anything more than a Republican mouthpiece.

Sanders will be the weakest Democrat nominee since Dukakis

Once Bernie gets the nomination he will activate tens of thousands of Antifa sleeper cells that will rise up and behead their white business owning parents and usher in a golden age of online harassment.

In general most people have gotten used to the fagetry of Trump and think they can withstand another 4 years of it. Sanders could disrupt things and the public will be scared off by the "socialist" moniker.

Would “most people” be you?

The foreign language question and his floundering therein, was squeamishly bad.

Camus said “nihilism is not only despair and negation but, above all, the desire to despair and to negate.” 

We all have a moral choice to make between hope and fragmentation. There is no effort required to watch America careen into the abyss. Saving the People of America only requires that we give a damn. 

Not voting is a choice. It makes one no less responsible. Exercising one's right to vote is a bullet with butterfly wings that sends shivers to those betting on the atomization of America and destruction of her ideals.

Everyone's voice and vote is needed this year.

Wishful thinking? I appreciate the effort. Sanders' win over Trump will be epic. The humiliation of Trump losing in a landslide to a "Commie" will stay with him for all eternity. 

Trump and his band of carpetbaggers are getting nervous Trump supporters will turn on them and put their heads on the proverbial spikes. He will be more toxic than Nixon by November.

Since I know who will be the nominee, the question is undoubtedly yes for me. 

Will you vote and support Sanders?

Yes. 

Through accretion, the core coalesced. Some are gettable, some are not.

I trust people of good will vote for a candidate that makes them proud of their vote.  

Time to face the final boss.
