...I thought her best insight began at 11:15 to 13:24.
Essentially, there she speculates that Elizabeth Warren is sheep-dogging for Joe Biden and trying to deliver to him part of the Progressive coalition as a bid to join his ticket as Vice President. That Warren is now in it to win it — as Vice President.
This makes sense.
As for the rest, Nomiki Konst is well informed about the current Democratic Party Rules and how they were changed after 2016. She is assuming that the rules pertaining to Super Delegates will remain in place, and explains the math that proves that Bernie is the only candidate who can win, even if there is a second ballot.
Konst has faith in Rules.
She does not entertain the idea that the rules can be changed and Super Delegates can be activated on the First Ballot.
She does not mention — or may not know — that Party Leaders are free to ignore Primary "preferences" polling altogether and reach around to select the nominee whom they believe will best represent the Party.
Both of these alternatives will knock Bernie out of the race. And for the Big Donors who are paying for the 2020 elections, defeating Bernie Sanders and crushing his socialist vision is a goal that supersedes the defeat of Donald Trump.
That transaction must be considered in any worthwhile prediction.

that Perez can invoke a little known clause that a candidate must have been a member in good standing for a determined amount of time to be eligible for nomination.
From the way I understood it, being an Independent could disqualify him.
I'm trying to find that source now. Last week sometime.

Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
They can make any rules at any time they wish to. There is no oversight or regulation.
My hope is that things like this will still matter, even a week from now.

The entire video presents new facts, however...

Yep. Following their own rules doesn't seem like something
that the party leaders are going to worry about too much.
It was noted somewhere

Honestly, it's a private club.
They can make any rules at any time they wish to. There is no oversight or regulation.
