      1. This is a more serious and informed critique of Bernie Sanders than one usually sees and echoes concerns I've since 2016.https://twitter.com/theintercept/status/1114261033693196291 …

      A million people have raised their hands to volunteer to make Bernie Sanders president. They deserve more from him, writes @ryangrim. https://interc.pt/2KcCRuL

      2. In 2016 my big concern with Sanders was I thought he was running a protest campaign & wasn't really focused on winning the nomination (as opposed to pushing the party left). This could be seen most clearly in fact he didn't go as negative on Clinton as he could have.

      3. This time, I do think Sanders is serious about winning, as witness in some of his campaign hires. The cussedness that @ryangrim identified is both a strength & a weakness: its the source of Sanders appeal but also sabotages him on occasion.

          Hasn't Trump sort of exploded a lot of the myths about this stuff?

          He’s Bizarro Trump, or Mirror Universe Trump, depending on your pop cultural proclivities.

          not disclosing his tax returns also seems kind of bad. takes out a weapon he could use against Trump

          Claims are not identification. This kind of spin is disappointingly lazy- I mean, it's not even good spin.

          Can someone please explain to me how Bernie Sanders even has a path to 270?

          It starts with the perception that majority of people support Sanders ideas and as they became more familiar with his take on issues they will vote for him. I am sure, statistics and polls would be rolled out predicting Sanders victory. If he stumbles, then DNC is at fault.

          Sanders hires are on record for voting Jill Stein in 2016, they openly are antagonistic to Democratic party, and engaged in vicious attacks against Democratic opponents. Why vote Sanders, you already have anti-democrat in the office.
