It will be very divisive and disconcerting for the Democrats. While it is likely that Biden will weaken, its doubtful that any will pull away as the clear consensus candidate. Sanders, Harris, Warren and Biden will probably each poll 15-18% in the early caucus states and the New Hampshire primary. Some of the second tier candidates will remain through Super Tuesday. Very much doubt a clear winner or consensus will evolve early. The longer the uncertainty , the greater the bitter infighting and overt political mistakes. The eventual nominee will not be loved by all the vanquished or their supporters. If Trump plays it well , he should be in a very good position come November 2020.
