      I've assumed for months that as good as things were looking for Sanders, centrists would consolidate quickly and pull out the oppo big guns immediately after he started winning races. But if people are still telling themselves he's not actually ahead at this point.... folks...

      The ending of Downfall is instructive on the how far the power of denying reality can go.

      I suspect this tweet will seem incredibly ironic in five months.

      Maybe -- although I never said, nor do I think, that Bernie is a sure thing. I've always said he's a longshot give the opposition he has inside the party and his own age. But I think the real blindness is in thinking he has no shot.

      I don't think people are saying he has no shot. But when he and Warren get 35% combined in NH, a state they should dominate, while Buttigieg/Klobuchar/Biden get 51%, it's odd to argue that he's in a really good position, especially given proportional allocation of delegates.

      No, New Hampshire, being predominately white and older, benefitted Buttigieg and Klobuchar. Bernie has a far more diverse coalition than they do. When they hit the more diverse states, they'll be in trouble. In Biden is sinking like a stone.

      Most of that oppo is pretty lame-ass.

          If by lame you mean devastating, then I agree. Don’t underestimate the risks your fragile revolution faces. It’s going to get much, much uglier starting today.

          Sanders is in the lead and has been close to it for a long time. Where is the oppo?

          Sanders in the 80s was a typical useful idiot, going on about the Soviet subways and its lovely chandeliers. There was a lot of that back then. But you can't wish his stupidity away, and Trump will plaster it all over TV 24/7 - because it would be political malpractice not to.
