17. How Bernie Sanders Thinks He'll Win the Nomination

Mon Mar 2, 2020, 07:57 PM

Mar 2020

This is an older article that shows that sanders has been shooting for a contested convention without majority support https://politicalwire.com/2019/04/18/how-bernie-sanders-thinks-hell-win-nomination/

The Atlantic: “He’s counting on winning Iowa and New Hampshire, where he was already surprisingly strong in 2016, and hoping that Cory Booker and Kamala Harris will split the black electorate in South Carolina and give him a path to slip through there, too. And then, Sanders aides believe, he’ll easily win enough delegates to put him into contention at the convention. They say they don’t need him to get more than 30 percent to make that happen.”

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
