If O'Mallet drops, would his support go to Bernie?

If O'Mallet drops, would his support go to Bernie?

You would think it would. Anyone still polling for O'Malley at this point is probably a protest vote against the Clintons, so they would move over to Sanders.

I figure Sanders can win NH, if he somehow wins IA, what I thought was a sure thing for the Clintons could get turned upside down.

Come on Bernie the sheepdog!

Bernie can win Iowa and New Hampshire, the question is if he can win anywhere else. Hillary was stomping him pretty much everywhere else. Wildcard is the FBI inquiry, who knows.

I would think it would go to clinton, since o'malley is also a huge statist authoritarian. Of course sanders is as well, but in a different way than the other two, who are huge proponents of the police state.

"And what's behind door #3? It's officer o'malley, you're busted! Thank you for playing Let's Make A Dope Deal!"

The reason why O'Malley has not dropped yet and probably won't drop any time too soon is because of the FBI inquiry, if Hillary comes under indictment and her poll numbers start to collapse due to a lack of confidence, O'Malley will be the one to take her place as the so-called "establishment progressive" against Bernie Sanders. This wouldn't be the first time when, dealing with a front-runner that's damaged goods, that the DNC might back an unknown governor. It worked pretty well for them back in the 1990s.

I'm pretty sure this is 100% correct. Another problem Hillary could face is her health. Many believe Hillary is hiding a major health problem which could cause trouble for her campaign.

There's still Biden

There's still Biden

I was just thinking about that the other day seeing him on the news saying he regrets not joining the race every day now. If Hillary were to get indicted then I don't think the Obama administration would do it without some sort of plan, I'm going to guess Biden is their guy but in the scenario I think you'd see a free for all with the dinosaurs of the DNC. Al Gore, Jerry Brown, Joe Biden, or John Kerry partnered up with a young "progressive" like Elizabeth Warren or Cory Booker.

Jim Webb is picking up people from the Draft Biden camp right now and seems ready for a independent run, could be interesting.

Which is why the propaganda machine is starting to throw mud at him.
