Dozens of interviews with Democratic establishment leaders this week show that the Democratic Party are not just worried about a Bernie Sanders’s candidacy, but are also willing to risk intraparty damage to stop his nomination at the national convention in July if they get the chance.
Since Sanders’s victory in Nevada’s caucuses on Saturday, The Times has interviewed 93 party officials — all of them superdelegates, who could have a say on the nominee at the convention — and found overwhelming opposition to handing the Vermont senator the nomination if he arrived with the most delegates but fell short of a majority.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have both said that Sanders should not become the nominee if he arrived at the convention short of a delegate majority.
“Bernie had a big hand in writing these rules,” Warren said during a CNN forum on Wednesday night. “I don’t see how he thinks he gets to change them now that he thinks there’s an advantage for him.”

Ehh… Rebbetzin. Why not? The Democrats are experts at changing the rules whenever they feel like in order to fulfill their own selfish personal gain. What do you think Adam Schiff just finished doing at his illegal impeachment “hearings” he commandeered in the House? The Democrats are above the law. Only weak kneed coward Rino’s and Republicans have to bend over backwards to play by the rules. Bl$$mberg changed the rules for himself to illegally steal a 3rd term as Mayor.
Crazy uncle bernie
It does make sense. Bernie is the only one running who is a Democratic Socialist. All of the other candidates are at worst progressive liberals, all of whom are capitalists. If the majority of delegates are awarded to a variety of Liberals, why would it make sense to nominate Sanders, just because he has the largest plurality?
wrong
Fair play
that’s how it’s been for the last half century
