One political campaign's surrogates have been pushing a story without evidence in hopes

that it will somehow elevate their candidate to the nomination. It isn't going to happen

70% of the Democrats have made it clear who they want their nominee to be, and who they DON'T want their nominee to be.

Even hypothetically if the candidate that received 70% support dropped out, the delegates would NOT jump on board with the candidate that received 30% support, even if there was a brokered convention. They would insure that the will of the 70% was honored, by NOT voting for the candidate that received 30% support

Show up at the polls and vote in real life, that is how you can gain political power.

As you say. We'll of course nominate ONLY a principled candidate who shares our liberal Democratic values and goals. And standards.

Btw, these vicious behaviors do certainly show why those of Sanders' ilk don't have their own party. Those who tried in the past always ended up turning on each other, sooner rather than later also, the way their current pack goes after Democrats.
