It appears that Sanders is leading the delegate count at this time, with the others splitting the other delegates. Therefore do you think that there will be a brokered convention and if so who does the DNC support?

Slightly off track, this is yet another reason why I think the US needs to shift to a multi-party, coalition style democracy.

I suspect that the DNC will do anything and everything it can get away with to stop Bernie. Their preferred alternative would be Biden paired with a VP pick capable of selling the ticket to many of those on their left. (A Joe Biden / Kamala Harris ticket perhaps.)

I'm not going to speculate especially at this very early stage. After super-Tuesday, then it might be time to consider the possibility depending on the outcome.

I'll vote for any of them, including holding my nose and voting for Bloomberg. Anyone but that cretin currently in the White House is acceptable to me.

Am I to discern that you understand the lesser of 2 evils concept?

That is exactly what they did in 2016 apparently but if they fail and he get's elected president then they can always blame the Russians.
Only if you assume some sort of bandwagon effect swung almost 9% of the pledged delegates. I guess it's possible, but it looks to me like Hillary was going to win either way.

I'd go with Barbara Abrams. There is a reason why Trump prefers to run against Sanders, the fear of socialism gives him all the negative mud to sling. Sanders will be 'poppy' Bushes 'Willie Horton".

What a wonderful idea. Just look at how smoothly it functions in Israel. :D

Coalition style isn't perfect by any means, but it seems WAY more nimble than what the US has. It also seems to be more representative.

No need. The intelligence community will do it for them while the basket of deplorables will wallow in denial and applaud as that community is systematically denigrated and purged.

Abrams is a favorite of mine. I would hope that she is above such political prostitution.
