My valuable reasoned opinion on WarrenSanders chances.

After a lot of numbers crunching and several consultations with Miss Cleo, here’s how I see it all shaking out.
Bloomberg will have little effect on the race.
Iowa, NH, Nevada, SC will just be produce a muddled mess with the top 4 remaining the top 4.

Pressure will then be on all of the so called other “moderates” like Klobuchar to drop and endorse Biden before Super Tuesday.
And, here’s the ultimate “decider”
The progressive wing of our party will strongly encourage Warren and Sanders to get into a room and hash things out.
They will be told this: “If both of you stay in the race thru Super Tuesday, Biden will be our nominee. But, if one of you drops out and endorses the other, that person will be our nominee.
You two have that power. So, decide what you think is better for the country and be relegated to the idea that the status quo gives the nomination to Biden”.

Neither will drop IMHO.
Biden will be our nominee.

Don't you love the "Never Trumpers" except for Warren/Sanders

I love all of these conservatives that hate Trump and say they want him out and that he has ruined the Republican brand.
And they love to tell Democrats that they will vote for the Democrats.
But, ONLY if THEY get to pick the Democrat.
They say they can’t vote for a “radical liberal“ like Warren or Sanders.
So, do they get to pick OUR nominee?
Guess we will know around March or April.

Will Impeachment freeze the Democratic primary race?

This was the topic for some of the pundits I watched recently.
Their premise was that the Impeachment inquiry and subsequent trial in the Senate will take up all of the political air in the media.
The thinking being that most national media will be totally focused on impeachment to the exclusion of almost anything else including the primaries.
They said that this will benefit the current front runners because the second and third tier candidates won’t be able to get much attention at all, at least from the national media.
They said that candidates would need to search for media attention from local tv and newspapers for coverage now.
Kind of makes sense, I guess.
Probably also means the debates in November and December are even more important than they would normally be, I think.
