The election prognosticators at the FiveThirtyEight website estimate that former Vice President Joe Biden is ahead in the Democratic delegate race by about 150 votes — 935 to 785 for Sen. Bernie Sanders. Doesn’t that suggest a close race and a long road ahead? They say no.
Bernie is now behind 15% to 20% in the national polls, and “Sanders tends to lose more ground every time a new set of states votes.” Democrats, who treat the prospect of President Donald Trump’s reelection as a “moral 9/11,” much like his first election, want to avoid any long-running Biden-bashing feud. If the Gaffe Machine is going to win, they will rally around him. All the empty chatter about a contested convention is turning out to be ridiculous once again.
