But yeah, those 30-40% Bernie supporters will indeed be sooo pissed if the moderates just pile up their delegates to beat him at the convention. And this is not a minor issue. Will they really just shrug it off and all vote for that establishment figure that robbed Bernie of his nomination? After they already percieved said robbery four years ago?
Sure, if they were pragmatic they probably should, but I doubt most would be. Many of those Bernie supporters don't strike me as the type. This, as I said, appears to be a dream scenario for Trump. Facing a weak candidate from a divided party.

And this is actually what I'd say one really has to ask. What is the best way forward to beat Trump. This contested convention route, I dare to reach that conclusion, most definitely is not. If there are still 7 or so serious candidates going into that super tuesday madness, then it's in all likelihood either Bernie or a really bad alternative scenario. No good one left.

I definitely think we will see less candidates in 2 weeks, which will bring more clarity to this.
