58. Bernie is a true Democrat!

This is one of the truest ways to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory! When close to 30%+ of candidates supporters are going to have to realign for a caucus and for contests after it, maybe you shouldn't start the scorched earth campaign before a vote is cast.

His DMR lead was a 3% difference. There's no universe in which rival campaigns don't steer voters to other groups if they are below the threshold to squash that difference. Why would demoralized staffers give the Sanders campaign the satisfaction of a victory if this is what they're up against?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Sanders will alienate the whole field and then he'll wonder why he's not the nominee The Valley Below Jan 2020 #21

:) Yes. And There never was "good will." Sanders is who and what Hortensis Jan 2020 #27

I believe she ran, in part, to make sure Sanders would never be the nominee. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #34

I agree, why she was the first one out of the gate. betsuni Jan 2020 #45

+100. I've suspected that was a motive, but not the only one. Hortensis Jan 2020 #46
