Democrats worry that Super Tuesday won’t leave them with a candidate

Historically, after Super Tuesday in early March, a leader emerges from the primaries, allowing party money and machinery to consolidate around one person.  This year, Democrat party insiders worry that Super Tuesday will end without any candidate holding a clear lead, leaving room for Mike Bloomberg to buy his way into the election:

Democrats are now beginning to confront a very real scenario where the nomination — and the winnowing — will not be decided in states where campaigns have been plowing ground for more than a year, but in places and calendar dates so deep into primary season that until recently they’ve received almost no attention at all.

The Iowa field is bunched together with little daylight between a handful of well-funded candidates. Each of the four early voting states continues to present the prospect of a different winner. And, at the end of that gauntlet on Super Tuesday, a free-spending billionaire — Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor — is waiting to challenge whichever candidate or candidates emerge.

Looking at the possibility of a still-contested nomination even after Super Tuesday’s massive delegate allocation on March 3, Washington state Democratic Party chair Tina Podlodowski said mid-March will “probably matter more than ever before.”

One strategist working with a presidential candidate said, “We’ve never had a situation where we get past Super Tuesday and there’s still five people in the field,” predicting that possibility this year.

“We’re in bizarro world here,” the strategist said.

Currently, each of the remaining candidates who has a chance appeals to and offends different core Democrat demographics:

The elderly, white Bernie Sanders, an open socialist, has the greatest appeal to young voters marinated in leftism throughout their school years.  To them, Bernie’s authentic.  The vestiges of centrist Democrat voters remaining in the party find his socialism unappealing. read more

  1. And I am supposed to care???

    They have had three years to reflect on the results of the 2016 election, but seem incapable of any type of introspection. Instead, they focused on hatred. They might as well give up on the 2020, and, perhaps??, focus on some reflection, and introspection.

    I won’t hold my breath.

  2. I can’t wait until the primary. I’m going to sniff the local breeze and whichever 2 are neck and neck. I’m going to select the one that best upsets the national DNC shit wind.
