Democrats Have a Secret Plan to Steal the Nomination from Bernie Sanders

Politico reported in January that “a small group of Democratic National Committee members” were already “gauging support for a plan to weaken Bernie Sanders” in order to “head off a brokered convention.”

If you stayed with them to the end of last night’s Democratic presidential debate, you would have seen that plan getting a nod for the go-ahead. Near the close of the debate, moderator Chuck Todd asked a simple question: “Should the person with the most delegates at the end of this primary season be the nominee even if they are short of a majority.”

The candidates, save Sanders, all gave answers that in one way or another point to a brokered convention.

 

This question is made more important considering what could happen should the convention go to a second ballot. If Sanders or anyone else ends the first ballot with less than 50% of the delegates, the party’s 500 superdelegates could turn everything inside out.

During the Iowa caucuses, former DNC chairman from South Carolina Don Fowler said he opposes limiting those superdelegates as they were in 2016. He said if the DNC should, “regenerate that fight in a national convention,” the result would be “the most hellacious fight you’ve ever seen at the Democratic convention.”
