Here is my analysis of Bernie’s strengths, weaknesses, and chances:
Strengths: experience running a national campaign; strong support from fundi voters; a certain gruff authenticity.
Weaknesses: age; wife’s legal problems; inability to connect with minorities due to world view revolving around class; half-baked political and economic ideas; embarrassing past left-wing statements and associations.
Prognosis: Bernie succeeded in moving the needle in 2020. This time, there will be multiple candidates without his baggage running in his lane. He would be wise to quit while he’s ahead.
