Bernie was one of the key problems back in 2016. He is one of the key reasons there was so much division within the Democrats. I do like him as a person, but it's about time he retires. He will be 80 in office and both him and Biden are too old IMO.
Bernie Bros were also one of the most problematic group of followers. Also should we forget several female staffers were sexually harassed? He isn't going to win.
I'm supporting Warren, but I'll vote anyone (including Bernie) when it comes time to vote Nov 2020.
Is there actual evidence they were harassed? Because allegations are not always the truth
also I dont think people care about age, trump is old too and still wildly popular among republicans.
The key problem in 2016 was the fact that the primary season was more of a coronation of Hillary rather than a contest between nominees. She regularly spoke down to him, wouldn't even say his name for the longest, and organized with the DNC to schedule debates at times when nobody would be paying attention.
Then after securing the nomination, she failed to campaign enough in states that she needed to win, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. She never even set foot in the state of Wisconsin.
I definitely think very many registered Democrats/Independents stayed home, voted third party, or voted Trump.. rather than voting Hillary. But that wasn't Bernies fault. Hillary has always had this cloud of notoriety hanging above her head. Too much unexplained lump sums of cash, too much pay to play politics...
Yes there's quite a bit of evidence and Bernie has tried to do some damage control. And Bernie is 5 years older which is a bit of a difference when one is almost 80 Memphis_Grizzlies. It's not just about his physical health, but mental as well. Obviously think Trump fails both, but you get where I'm coming from.
To be fair JordanLloydFan, Mi/PA/WI haven't went red in a general election in a LONG time before 2016, so no one was expecting that especially MI/WI which have been blue strongholds. I think any Democrat will win these states come 2020. WI especially just elected a blue Governor.
Bernie really didn't back Hillary as much as he could and a lot of HIS supporters voted Stein who is the devil/Putin sympathizer. I'm not saying Hillary was the best candidate, obviously not, but Bernie did take some support away from her in the general IMO.
