Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Where did Bernie's revolution go wrong? [View all]
Los Angeles TimesBernie Sanders still has at least a mathematical chance to overtake Joe Biden in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
But to pull that off, Sanders probably needs to make dramatic changes to a campaign that ran into a brick wall on March 3, when he lost 10 of 14 states and the lead in delegates. Hell get a chance on Tuesday, when six more states vote.
Super Tuesday exposed Sanders biggest problem, especially now that hes in a two-man race: He has failed to expand his support much beyond the progressives he came with.
The Vermont senator says he leads a multi-generational, multiracial movement and argues that he is the strongest candidate Democrats can field to beat President Trump in November. But last weeks results knocked a gaping hole in that argument.

Exactly. The naivete of the man is stuning in thinking the nation would elect a socialist.

I agree. It's the Socialism. We are not the Socialist party. We are DEMOCRATS.
