Contested convention talk heats up after Joe Biden's big South Carolina win
"Yes. I mean, look, the rules have been set. And I find a lot of folks in Bernie's operation are now saying that whoever goes in with the most delegates, even if they're not close or there's a distance from the 19-plus-hundred that we need, that that's — they should be declared the winner," Biden said."I wonder where that view was when he was challenging Hillary after she went in with a commanding lead.
Sanders pushed back on the idea that he's changed his position, saying comments that were highlighted came before California, the state with the most delegates, had voted. "What you're asking me now is if, at the end the entire Democratic process, a candidate, maybe Bernie Sanders, ends up with more votes than anybody else, and we go into the convention, and the Democratic establishment and the superdelegates say, hey, yes, Bernie won more votes than anybody else, he won state after state after state, but we don't want him, you know what that will do to the Democratic base in this country?" he continued.
