It's Amy baby!!
I've long felt Amy Klobuchar is the sleeper candidate(i put a few € on her last week) for the Dems. She's a moderate, (fairly) sensible policy proposals compared to other candidates, and is more positive when it comes to messaging.Could she win the nomination?

The odds makers give her about a 4% chance of getting the nomination, but she's moved up from about 2% & has overtaken Sleepy Joe, Hildy & Pocahontas in that order. She's 3rd behind The Bern & Buttage.
(Yes. Once frontrunner Pocahontas now trails Hildebeest It's still quite fluid.)
If she pulls it off, you should hit long odds
That's quite likely, Merc.
New Hampshire's Primary is not "closed" - i.e. one needn't be a member of a party to vote in its primary.
'Publicans KNOW that The Don's their nominee. So there's reason to suspect that some of them "crossed over" to the 'Crat Primary to vote for The Bern believing (as you said) that he has no chance of beating The Don.
It's widely thought that 'Crats did that in '16, believing The Don would be a walkover straw candidate for Hildy on her way to fulfilling her Manifest Destiny to become 1st woman Prez.
Sometimes that tactic backfires. Obviously.
If crossover voting occurred, it might bode ill for The Bern.
His victory wasn't overwhelming in a state neighboring his & his support among 'Crats mayn't be as broad as it appears.
BTW -
Crossover 'Crats may blame themselves for The Don being Prez & their self-loathing predisposed 'em to Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
I'm quite certain i know of at least one such case personally - the poor devil
All in all - It's a rather bizarre process of selecting a head of state if one thinks 'bout it, is it not
Remember, y'all heard it here 1st ...
I didn't say he lacks experience That must of been another.
I stand corrected.
The "inexperience" quote is rightfully attributed to Chance.
