Say Hillary stumbles badly in the first couple of debates, maybe a new scandal emerges and all of a sudden Bernie Sanders gains a commanding lead in the polls. Could there be pressure from the Democratic establishment to have another late-entry into the race? Somebody like Mark Dayton who would please the progressive wing of the party but isn't an outright Socialist.

If Hillary has scandals that get to the point of being so unelectable she is polling behind Sanders, expect Warren to get in for real.

Biden is on standby for this scenario.

She wont get knocked out in the primary. Her supporters care about her being the first woman and "its her turn" like Dole in 96. Scandals dont matter.

Or maybe we let Sanders run against the Republican nominee? He has gained the support of the Democratic voters in this scenario... Tongue #SandersHack

This.

I do, however, think that Biden would jump in.

Bill Bradley led Gore in New Hampshire after the first Democratic debate in 1999, but it didn't last. I suspect that would be the same result with a great Sanders performance.
