We'll see where we are by Labor Day. Look, I love Bernie and I am more aligned with him than Hillary. But the reality is, people playing toward the center are playing to win, whereas people on the extremes are playing for principle. (Or for exposure, gigs on cable, or ego.). I truly do not think that Bernie is in it to win it. He knows better than anyone that he is as far left as the Tea Party is on the far right, and those positions are not mainstream enough to win.
