(10,721 posts)You're making vote-splitting out to be a simple binary relationship (where only the non-Sanders candidates are hurt/impacted by vote-splitting). And that's just not accurate. Klobuchar can hurt Bernie's chances in Iowa, Warren and Biden can hurt his chances in New England, the demographics of Nevada, South Carolina and many of the Super Tuesday states will hurt his chances in those states, and so on. By Super Tuesday, the field of candidates will be considerably reduced from where it will be when debate season starts in a few months.
If Sanders has lost half his support from 2016, he's in even more trouble than I imagine. If you think he's lost half his support, I'm curious as to where you think that half is going to go.
Look, if Sanders doesn't do considerably better than he did in 2016 among POC and non-millennial women, his goose is cooked, no matter how much money he has.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
