A good overview of what worries me about Bernie. He promises to enter office on the crest of a great waves of new, disaffected voters who have so far not shown up in primaries. He makes this promise at every campaign stop, from on stage—I'm not nitpicking https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/24/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-voters.html …

Are we sure about this? I think the key data point is *not* record turnout during primaries, but that Sanders's support tends to draw from distinctly under-represented groups. He received 51% of the Hispanic vote in Nevada, according to entrance polls.

His coalition at this stage is not numerically unique, but demographically varied in a way that, to my knowledge, we have not observed among other candidates. If you're adopting a "big tent" strategy for the general, I think this bodes better for Sanders compared to anyone else.
