(11,996 posts)1. Because based on polling, and based on so many other candidates splitting the other votes,

(15,265 posts)7. No one is giving him the nomination.. Yhere are preductions based on
His polling in all the states that he will end up with a plurality of delegates at the convention. Enough of a pluarlity where not nominating him would be a hard sell.

(19,970 posts)9. Because they're happy with Trump being re-elected. Sanders as
nominee will give him a win and ensure there's never a Democratic Party win again
