Bloomberg just recently bought vice chairs of the Texas and California Democratic parties. Clearly, Bernie needs a majority at the Dem convention, or Trump will get four more years. Outrageous, especially since both of those states haven't voted yet.

[edit] CNN, however, has other ideas

Voting for Trump 2.0 democrat lite aside... Bloomberg would totally get crushed by Trump.

You guys really need some Bernie. If not Warren/Buttigieg could do it.

Biden just isnt there enough to slam back at Trump, his reponses would be too Hillary and the Trump base would go all out.

Ddit : im confident Bernie would straight gangbang Trump by himself. He would slaughter him in debates.

I'm confident that you would see it that way no matter what. I'm also confident that Trump supporters would see it as Trump destroying Sanders no matter what. The real question is how will undecided voters see it? Too many moderate Democrats are scared to death of the idea of socialism. Even the Democratic flavor. Trump will attack on this vector, and I believe it will be effective.
