I've been saying this for some time now.  Hillary's been lurking in the shadows waiting four years for her entry cue, though I think it would be difficult now after Joe's recent "surge" to dismiss him easily in Milwaukee (although he's acting weird in public since he came alive after his South Carolina success)--unless offered VP? (again!).  Last Sunday morning I momentarily tuned to an Illinois TV interview (can't remember which) with our junior Senator, Duckworth.  She replied nonverbally to the first question, about the Sanders campaign, with a disgustingly boisterous horselaugh, as if he were a joke.  She's a joke herself, a DCCC apparatchik.  Another sick joke was made by News Gazette columnist Scott Reeder last Sunday suggesting as running mate to Biden, Rep. Sheri Bustos, Congressman from Moline, Illinois and chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.  In the same article Reeder quoted Hillary as saying "she would 'love' to see a woman on the ticket"  probably meaning herself, but she stopped short of that suggestion.  After all she's a youngster at only 72-1/2 (9 months the junior of DJT) and Biden at 77 barely a year younger than Bernie.  Maybe Hillary outlive them all.  Alas, youth is wasted on the young.

Gene, i think you're mostly right but I believe the decision about Biden's role, and the how the DNC gang coalesced so successfully on Super Tuesday indicates that none of you has yet mentioned the main puller of DNC strings and the main benefactor of a brokered convention. Here's my take and a little about why.:Personally I don't think Joe is the chosen one. I believe his job was to blunt Bernie's momentum at this stage to prevent a first or second round win at the convention. Then he'll become a sacrificial offering at the altar of Hillary who i believe has been running the show, She;ll have a good argument to make, She beat Trump by THREE MILLION popular votes but tripped over her own arrogance and sense of entitlement and acted like the electoral college didn't exist. 

Trump's team played the electoral college extremely well. She can make the argument that if she wins by half as many popular votes as last time but pays more attention to the electoral votes, she'll be president. I don't think that's necessarily a correct conclusion but its good argument. 

The narrative was that Biden won in states where he didn't even spend any money, That may be true - or not - but SOMEONE spent a lot of money for Super Tuesday to happen the way it did, And we know Hillary's planning for Super Tuesday began at least as far back as the first planning stages of her four part documentary produced by HULU. Great strategy. The film was a vehicle to every talk show on every major outlet ostensibly to push the film but allowing her to launch one-sided attacks on Bernie because in that context there wasn't any requirement for a chance for Bernie to respond. And the networks didn't care. 

The rollout for the premiere (after a special showing at Sundance) had her on TV screens immediately before Tuesday and on Tuesday as well. There she was on Good Morning America on Super Tuesday morning going after Bernie with abandon. And she was brutal. The film is "reintroducing Hillary to America" over four weekly parts. It will probably be re-aired in June. She's not stopping till she's president or dead. That same morning while I was looking for something on YouTube a half-screen size ad came on my flat screen that said "Medicare for All will double your income tax". It was sponsored by a phony front org. I'm sure that wasn't the only place it was seen. Someone - maybe Uncle Bloomberg or may be a superpac - was shelling out some big bucks.
