I think/hope that Sanders and Warren are in for the whole ride/battle/win.

We live in a reasonably unpopulated area of the NE that gets an onslaught of well-to-do visitors during peak seasons (ski/foliage/etc). When these visitors aren't here, the local markets stock their shelves with the stuff-that-will-sell to us locals. When our esteemed money-bearing visitors show up, the local market has foie gras, fresh bakery goods, etc. -all for a price.

All vendors of goods (politicians, used car salespeople, dentists) need to adjust to the current customer demands. Of course they would probably rather influence the demand so they don't have to pivot on their heels and offer something they've been against for years. Of course it's rather inconvenient that the innertubes and their long-term memory can bring back pronouncements from 6-12-24 months back that are contradictory to their PR firms.
