Sanders proved Hillary has no inevitability on her side and Rubio overcame Jeb's challenge to be the mainstream Republican nominee.
Looks like Hillary vs. Rubio or
Sanders vs. Rubio vs. Bloomberg
I spoke with a friend of mine tonight who is very well connected in NY politics and has experience with Bloomberg's campaigns personally. It seems Bloomberg's plan is to wait, and if Hillary loses, immediately hire her staff and put her infrastructure to work for him... Which would make him the only independent candidate in history with a national campaign machine behind him.
Trump lacks the state to state ground game needed. Cruz is hated by more people than like him. That leaves Rubio as the best gop candidate, but I don't think he beats Sanders, Hillary or Bloomberg nationally. None of the candidates will have significant coat tails, so we are likely headed for a DOA democratic administration and very little movement from a policy POV with an opposition Congress.
