When Sanders won in Nevada, he was the clear frontrunner

BUT a big difference: nearly everyone else didn't drop out after he won Nevada
So Bernie had a number of candidates trying to bring him back to the pack chasing him - triggering negative coverage.

When Joe won SC, everyone else threw in the towel and endorsed him.

So you're going to have more positive stories about Joe with the endorsements than you would Bernie who had a number of candidates still taking shots at him.

Bernie also incensed a lot of people with this tweet:




That also drew a broad, negative reaction which was covered by the media and will probably go down in the history books as the beginning of the end for him. It was not a smart thing to say.

I have not read the article. It was obvious that it had to attempt to compare apples and oranges.

I love Bernie's policies. I respect him in that he's not pandering these ideals - he's fought for them his whole life. (He might be kind of pandering by avoiding clearer details on how he's going to pay for them ..). But the polls show us overwhelmingly that his "political revolution" is not going to happen for him. And it's not the establishment who are saying no to him. It's the voters. I think that is what we'll see tonight and throughout March if he continues his campaign.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
