And heeeeere it comes. One of these days someone who isn't a Sanders supporter is going to provide an empirical path to victory for him that doesn't require wishful thinking

I actually reported on the ground in 2016 and am doing so now. I’ve spoken w/ hundreds of Rust Belt residents. Trade/NAFTA was by far the top issue and draw to Trump. Exit polls in Rust Belt states showed trade and immigration as top voting issues. Not sure how you discount this

A lot of these folks had previously voted for President Obama by the way. I don’t get how you see no path when Sanders won two of the states needed to win back the WH in the primary and is polling well in all 3 now

Unlike Hillary Clinton who was pulling in about 50 to 53% of her party on a regular basis Bernie Sanders as of now is not polling higher than about 35% of the Democratic Party. That gives me pause about him being able to unify an enthusiastic party

That is a bad-faith argument as you know
@HillaryClinton would not be pulling 53% of her party if she was facing 7-10 candidates (including former VP to Obama). If you look at top second choice for Biden/Warren voters—it’s Sanders2 replies 1 retweet 7 likes -
And I am a white dude so not going to pretend that racism does not play a role in electoral politics. But I can tell you a lot of Trump voters in the midwest were genuinely economically angry/desperate and loved Trump’s anti-trade message

They were more motivated by his anti-immigrant tough-on-crime / I hate black people message. And that message will resonate just as strong in 2020 as it did four years ago especially against somebody who says that he wants to share all of your hardworking money with brown people

Not sure how you say that when a large portion of them voted for President Obama. I just think it's a false-dichotomy to say the top reason Trump won is racism. It discounts the economic abandonment/demolition of large swaths of the country
