      Thread —#2 is the key point. Have to have leverage before you can make this move. People want to back winner, won’t move in that direction re an insurgent *unless they have to.* Making move is strategy, but the **timing of when to do it is the tactic.** Both EW/BS flubbed timing.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1235969877833166856 …

      3. Sanders by contrast ended up alienating people he needed to win. He's now shifted more in Warren's direction with nods to party unity. Some more thoughts on this here: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/warren-sanders-democrat-unity/ …

      There is a slim possibility they have one more shot at this -- when party elite takes one last look at Biden and has to decide if they want to do this.

          Sanders likely last chance is to force a terrible Biden debate performance on the 15th.

          Agree. Seems unlikely, but history keeps happening and he’s vulnerable especially during the next debate.

          Also: I'm not sure that even a more conciliatory approach would have worked. The party elite really hates the left, even in the most palatable form

          I still think there's a slim chance Warren (or even someone who wasn't in the race) ends up as the nominee after a brokered convention provoked by concerns about Biden. I don't think there's any chance Bernie does - he has to win at least a plurality if he wants the nomination.

          Did I miss the timeline where Bernie won a landslide on Super Tuesday?
