. The calamitous spread of the coronavirus either propped him up for an additional few weeks by delaying primaries that would have ensured his demise, or it pushed back too far what might have been his last opportunities to demonstrate a gasp of a chance. Either way, the specter of Covid-19 effectively forced Sanders’ hand.
None of this, of course, means that the pandemic is going to — or should — shift popular opinion so dramatically that Congress passes Medicare for All or bumps the federal minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. But it’s clear that the economic fallout from coronavirus is hastening the arguments over the merits of the American tradition of laissez faire, even as Sanders retreats from the scene.
Five years ago, when I traveled to Vermont for the first time to report on Sanders, the conventional wisdom was to write whatever I was going to. Because he wasn’t going to be running for long. Because he wasn’t going to matter for long.Sanders in the last five years arguably has been the most important person in American politics
not named Donald Trump. He pushed Democrats further to the left than the party’s leaders ever could have envisioned.

The country needs Bernie Sanders more than ever now. Today is a sad day.
The experts ought to be looked into as to why they are saying the economy needs to be locked down for 18 months. Especially when the projections are continually becoming smaller and smaller.
Like the pun there... but Biden is more likely to be incapacitated by election day DemExit
