re: #36 silverdolphin

One thing to remember is that Bernie had/has very little success getting anything of his own passed. He is a great and important firebrand but is not known for making the process work for him (the newer progressives, like AOC, understand the process much better. And even Elizabeth Warren, who is demonstrable more liberal than Bernie, understands). BIden, likely undertansds better than anyone how to make the process work for him.

Biden has opened offices in Florida and announced his campaign team there. He just campaigned in Texas(!), raising over $6 million in two stops, and likely eting $10 million form Texas in March, more than any other Democrat in history this early. (Hilary had the previous record with $7.5 million.) He expects to have over 100 offices opened up nationwide in a few weeks.

He has efforts to reach out to Latinos, to reach out to Catholics, to reach out to Haley-supporters. He is reaching out to anyone.

Sounds like a great plan.

I was really speaking more to all the Berners who I used to listen to in 2016 who insisted that Bernie was guaranteed to win the nomination/election because not only were the internets positively ablaze with support, but the huge turnouts at his rallies demonstrated that voters were desperate to see a “real progressive” in the White House.

Which is really a backhanded slap towards MAGAts who are still lying to themselves that Trump’s dwindling rally crowds are really just a media conspiracy and there remains enormous public support for their golden calf.
