I believe that Sanders cannot win for three reasons:
1. Wisconsin is now in the act of complying with a court order to purge 200,000 (Democratic) voters from its rolls. As a result, no Democratic can win there—the fix is already in.
2. Sanders is in favor of an immediate, 100% ban on all fracking. No one can hold that position and win Pennsylvania. Not possible.
3. Sanders has said nice things about Fidel Castro. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/24/us/bernie-sanders-fidel-castro-florida.html?referringSource=articleShare
As a result, he loses Florida. Inarguably.
Can anyone win the presidency while losing Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida?
Of course, the only solution is for Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Steyer, and Bloomberg to be patriots and consolidate their support behind whichever of them is in the lead after South Carolina. Obviously, I will be for whomever the Democrats nominate, but I hope for Buttigieg. Biden is an unknown quantity every time he opens his mouth. In the last debate, he said that Bloomberg had been responsible for "throwing nearly 5 million young, African-American men up against the wall." This seemed wacky to me, since there are only 8 million people total in the city. Turns out there are about 160,000 young African-American men in New York. Evidently Joe doesn't know about google.
Bloomberg is not viable, because, well, did you see the debate last week? He has always been a terrible retail politician. But remember, he has pledged to use his fortune to support the Democratic candidate, no matter who it is. Sadly, if it's Bernie, Mike will be wasting his money.
