I advised Bernie Sanders not to run long before the effective beginning of the campaign. He ignored me, and the results are plain for all to see. He’s stuck in the polls, he’s bleeding support to Warren, and now he’s had a heart attack. His only chance of winning is a colossal recession. Things could hardly be worse.
What if he quits? Does that hand the nomination to Warren?
Not necessarily. Bernie may despise identity politics, but a large number of his followers are identity voters who would support Biden over Warren. It would probably be a net gain for Warren, but not a huge one.
