Those who say that if Bernie is at the top of the Democratic ticket then the rest of the ticket will suffer a “blood bath” are either Republicans or anti-Progressive Democrats.
The so-called ‘coat-tail’ effect is as big a fantasy as the notion of a free-market is.
Establishment Democrats outsmarted themselves.
Roughly half the Democratic Party is in the Progressive (Socialist) camp while the other half is center-right or ‘moderate’.
Sanders and Warren occupy the Progressive lane.
Bloomberg, Biden, Buttigieg and Klobuchar occupy the right-wing lane.
Dividing half the vote by four won’t work mathematically in the delegate count going forward, so somebody needs to be jettisoned.
Because Biden and Bloomberg were the Establishment Democrats hand picked candidates, either Buttigieg or Klobuchar will soon have their legs cut out from under them.

That should go well.
