      Subject to the usual limits of personal bias, imperfect knowledge, etc. ... I ranked candidates by criteria like "would be an effective president" and "could beat Donald Trump in head-to-head competition assuming a united Democratic party." 2/x

      When you start studying the list "actually in real life probably able to unite the Democratic party" - meaning hold together moderates and leftists; animate both African Americans and anti-Trump suburbanites - the only B atop the list is Biden. 4/x

      If Biden falters, there's no coalition candidate, only factional candidates. And Sanders of course heads the biggest faction. 5/x

      The Democratic coalition is always potentially larger than the Republican coalition. It is also always less cohesive. Coalition-management is the first job of any Democratic candidate. And right now, the coalition does not seem to want to managed. 6/x

      The world would be a different place right now if Bernie Sanders had been the sort of person who, in 2017, could have sat down with Hillary Clinton and made peace with her; raised money for other Democrats of all kinds and generally sought broad acceptability. But not his nature.

      Sanders and even more his team always defined their mission as "beating the Establishment Democrats." They never pondered: ok, what happens next? How do I get buy-in from people I view not as partners-in-waiting, but as conquered enemies? 8/x

      I'm not a Democrat, and I don't expect the Democratic contest to deliver on my personal preferences. But against background of very strong economy, Trump only gets removed from power if all anti-Trump forces in society find a way to work together. And that only happens ... 9/x

      ... under leadership that recognizes coalition-building as central to its job. The Sanders candidacy is based upon REJECTING coalition-building as a sell-out. They often give the impression of hating less left-wing Democrats much more than they oppose Trump. 10/x

      If Sanders wanted to qualify as a party leader for 2020, he should have sweated and bled for Clinton in 2016 - as Clinton sweated and bled for Obama in 2008. He didn't. If he wins the nomination, he'll then have to ask others to do for him what he would not do for them. 11/x

          Can't believe the "Axis of Evil" guy is being intentionally dishonest to further a specious argument.

          Sanders did so many events for HRC that HRC staffers literally released a hit piece against him attacking him for it: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/25/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-private-jet-flights-1182793 …

          So the question is if it is not what Bernie said after the convention, how big is the Bernie contingent who won't follow him when he tries to mobilize them behind a dem candidate if it is not him? At this point they are quite vocal that it is Bernie-way or the highway.

          I voted for Hillary in 2016 but after seeing how the party colluded with Hillary and now the attempted rigging on the Iowa caucus, I’m voting Bernie. Whether he is the Democratic nominee or if I have to write him in. Hopefully the Democratic nominee!
