If you take a look at the national and state polls at 538, the big story is the rise of Bloomberg in the "Super Tuesday" states and nationally. With Biden poised to come in 4th or 5th in New Hampshire, after a bad loss in Iowa, his only hope is South Carolina, where he probably will win, but that's unlikely to be enough to save him. Mayor Pete will do miserably in South Carolina and Nevada, and then come Super Tuesday the "moderate" Democrats will vote for Bloomberg as their best hope (it helps that, unlike Biden, he's cognitively functional and can speak English and that, unlike Mayor Pete, he has substantive things to say [but that aren't too scary for "moderates"--he's the ideal suburban "soccer Mom" candidate]). If it comes down to a brokered convention, one can guess whom the "establishment" will support as between Bloomberg and Sanders.
