Can Democrats avoid a brokered convention in 2020?

Can any Democratic candidate amass the 1,885 delegates, required to secure the nomination,
before their National Convention? Will it be a bloody spring for Democrats?

I don't see any of these Democrats making the grade and the nomination will be determined at the convention. Very possible Mrs. Obama will be drafted. I hope I am wrong.

How about a surprise like George Clooney or Robert Reich?

That would certainly be a surprise, but who knows, anything is possible in modern day politics.

My guess, at this point, would be a Warren/Buttigieg ticket.

Don't forget the Democrats have superdelegates to skew the majority v**e from the primaries. That's how Hillary was able to screw Sanders. This makes one wonder why they dislike the E*******l College? Or, right. Because they lost!

Clooney or Reich? Get real! A popularity contestant v. the Smartest Man in the World? Democrats' heads would explode from all their giddiness. They might as well pick another Billionaire like Bloomberg even though the left despises the rich.

764 superdelegates do not get to v**e on the first b****t.

Do you think Warren would play second fiddle for Clooney or Bloomberg, or even Hillary? They better come up with something soon because the primaries are just around the corner and every combination is a losing one as things stand right now.

Get it straight; they despise rich Conservatives. Rich Liberal Hobbit fart sniffers are just fine.

And what does that have to do with any of the primaries? No clear majority, for any candidate, will bring about a brokered agreement at the convention. Perhaps Queen Hillary is laying the groundwork with Bloomberg for just such a c**p at the convention. Stranger things have happened. They don't want the convention to devolve into a morass because this will be their only real chance to paint a picture of phony unity within the party. It is all about perceptions and promises. Once they take office and have the power the rest be damned.
