at the moment...and his support is soft...and if we get to to the convention and he is at 27% or 30%, there will have to be a brokered convention which he agree to basically and a different candidate will have to be chosen. I do not believe Sanders will win the nomination...heading into diverse state, let's see what he does...and I think there will be a winnowing process too which will help a moderate (they are way ahead of Sanders combined) to gain the needed delegates...A strong plurality is needed which it appears Sanders won't gain. If anything this primary shows the left is a minority even in the Democratic Party.

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