The daily 538 cratering of Sanders continues unabated, on the verge of going sub 20% for 1991

3. "having the nomination ripped away from him"

If he never has a majority, he never had the nomination. You can't rip something away from someone who never had it.

Sorry, but I just don't buy the doom and gloom you're selling. If it ends up 52/48 Biden, you really think the party is going to rip itself apart? Nonsense. We heard the same stuff in 2016 and all that happened was some Sanders supporters raised hell, then took their toys and stayed home on election day or voted for Stein.

Ah, but that's a problem, right? We got four years of Trump out of it, one might say, so this time, we better acquiesce to the worst of the worst and hand Sanders the nomination, even if he didn't actually earn it. Make sense?

Nah. If Sanders isn't the nominee, that same faction will do the same thing they did in 2016, regardless of the split. He lost Dems 2:1 to Clinton in 2016 and they *still* did it.

Want proof? Go spend some time on those "other" progressive sites, because they're already talking about it. They're the same people busy calling Elizabeth Warren the "C" word.
