UNTIL THE RESULTS from South Carolina’s presidential primary started coming in, just five weeks ago, Bernie Sanders was the hot favourite to win the Democratic ticket. Had he done so, the combination of an unpopular incumbent, a soaring death toll from covid-19 and a cratering economy might well have put the 78-year-old socialist in the White House. But what a world away that seems.
He won 10 of the 14. And he ran Mr Sanders close enough in California, the biggest prize of the primary, to ensure he took a big slab of its delegates. Still flush with money—which he has perfected the art of raising by the bucket-load online—Mr Sanders nonetheless vowed to battle on. Yet the verdict of subsequent states confirmed he had no realistic hope of victory. Mr Biden won eight of the next nine, including all the big ones: such as Florida and Michigan.
It still seems likely that a more left-wing candidate than Mr Biden could have profited from this change. Yet the one best-placed to do so, Senator Elizabeth Warren—a left-winger who, unlike Mr Sanders, calls herself a capitalist—foundered on the back of her missteps and Mr Sanders’s presence in the race. In an attempt to win his hard-left supporters, she aped his health-care policy, which turned off her more moderate supporters in droves, dooming her candidacy.
Donald 🦆 is a moron if he even thinks he can do that....
i reckon there's a bit of Muhammed Ali about Donald on this one. He's doing RopeaDope Dems are playing into your hands Sir. Ya got 'em on the ropes with this one, now for the K.O., OK! Four more years RockonDonald you're PlayingaBlinder
Except Don is too stupid to realize the Bernie supporters are actually smart and know what books are
Frankly, after being screwed by your own party in 2016, and now this...yeah, if I was a Bernie supporter, I’d be pretty furious. A “burn it all” vote for Trump—as a means of shaming the party that screwed them—might be (justifiably) in their wheel house right now.
We... really don't need Trump for this one.
yes, again, Donald Trump is doing the right thing for the people. Thank you for mentioning that Economist!
The Last Refuge of a Scoundrel: as the Dems rally round, a MrHasBeen ~ Donald will destroy him assuming he has the resolve to see his revolution through. He set the USA on a new path to Economic World Domination. In the endgame though; it comes down, to what to do about Gold?
If ANY Bernie supporter votes for trump it's a total rejection of Bernie and everything he stands for. Bernie is a good and decent person, essentially the antithesis of trump. Voting for trump or NOT voting for Biden is EQUIVALENT. VoteBlueNoMatterWho VoteBlueNoMatterWhat
Jokes on Biden there won't be an election

The Rogan bros will go to Trump because they’re sexist trash. Hopefully the rest will not.
Trump knows he is going to get beat badly by Biden.
Yep,he made Democrats unelectable by promising a heavily indebted nations that they would be plunged into even deeper debt with a greater percentage of taxes being wasted on interest payments in the future. The state is there to correct market failure not to collect 'tribute'
Getting nothing done in 40 years is indeed 'profound.'
BS
The good news is that Democrats still like capitalism enough to favor the candidate who can't remember his own name over the Communist.
With a dementia in progress?
JoeBiden is best bet for democrats

No one published these lame ass articles saying he 'gives up' or whatever when every other milquetoast candidate dropped out. Why do they hate Bernie even when he's officially not running? Do they actually not want our votes?
Would be cool move if Biden put Bernie in a post of substantial impact, if he gets the chance to do so or whatever who cares
DNC and gop both funded by the same political donors. If you’re not in the .01% you’re fucked.
Oh yeah? Still rest assured that Bernie's legacy will continue to thrive!
'Rally' is a touch strong.
