Long-term it should actually be a good thing in that in a sane world it would push the party away from the rabid Left.
Or the laggards will just adopt progressive marxism a little faster. Breaking the identity of being a monster slayer is tough because it means siding with monsters.
It will certainly change the dynamic at the next debate. Most Democrats assumed Joe Biden was probably a shoe-in for the nomination and the other folks at the podiums were playing for the VP slot. Like the press, they were reluctant to really challenge Joe on anything, especially after Harris blew up her campaign by being mean and snide towards him, right before Tulsi took axed her.
Well, at the next debate the idea that Joe is the front-runner and heir apparent is out the window. He should be back to looking like the third-tier also-ran that he always was, and that may dramatically alter the dynamics of the debate. It wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t take it well and angrily blows up at everybody, further dooming his run.
That leaves Sanders in the lead, and the party establishment wants to stop him and get a more centrist, mainstream candidate. But as Richard Nixon (fake persona) recently tweeted (or retweeted), “Buttigieg and Klobuchar have less black support than a Lawrence Welk Marathon.”
Losing black support to Trump would perhaps doom the party to oblivion, forever (Pampered, lily white, campus SJW’s aren’t going to survive long screaming “racism” at blacks who’ve become Trump supporters), so they’d be better off letting the communist take the fall for losing 2020.
That leaves Bloomberg, whose stop-and-frisk audio comments might drive black support even lower than Buttigieg’s (is it possible to go below zero?) Already plenty of Democrats view Bloomberg as a Republican who’s trying to simply buy their whole party, and if he gets handed the nomination in a brokered convention, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bernie wing and Tulsi supporters went third party to protest the blatant corruption.
I’ve been of the opinion (ever since it began) that the impeachment move was a case of strengthening Trump while launching a lethal torpedo at the Biden campaign – the continual glaring spotlight highlighting both his and Hunter’s corruption has done a lot of the damage we are now seeing.
My guess going forward; the odds of a brokered convention are rising.
Sanders is looking more likely to have a plurality of delegates – but not a majority. I look forward to seeing what happens when they take the nomination from him.
That reminds me; I need to add popcorn to my shopping list.
