). The short version is this: Bernie wins early, becomes a bonafide front-runner, Democratic primary voters freak out, thinking Sanders can't beat Trump and move, decisively, to Bloomberg. An important piece of the strategy is that Bloomberg's fellow "moderates" lose decisively in the early going and immediately run out of money. That clears the field for a Bernie-Bloomberg cage match, which, in the opinion of the Bloomberg brain trust, Bloomberg would almost certainly win.
And make no mistake about it, the "mainstream media" do not want Sanders to be the Democratic presidential nominee. Like the majority of Democratic primary voters, they want someone who can beat Trump. The MSM are certain Sanders is incapable of doing that. The former president's disdain for President Trump is intergalactic. He believes that the country's future rides on Trump's defeat. He has zero interest in ideological litmus tests or pie-in-sky policy proposals. He just wants to win.
