IMO the viable path probably involves the field remaining relatively divided. In that scenario, his high and loyal floor of support, his $$$ (powered by small donors), his experience (may be only 2020 candidate to have run before) with delegate rules etc, could be big advantages.

What I've grown pessimistic about is his ability to unite the different factions/coalitions of the Democratic Party. He doesn't seem that interested in doing so, and polling shows he's a tough sell for some Ds. That's how nominations are *usually* won, through coalition-building.

In some ways, the question is: if Bernie just did what he does 4 years ago, will it work? The optimist's case would be pretty Occam's Razor-y: He was 2nd place last time—and the 1st-place candidate isn't running. And the party is moving to the left. So…why not?

But there are a lot of things that are more difficult than 4 years ago, by far the most obvious of which is that there's *much* more competition, including specifically on the left. At 77, his age is a bigger concern. And there are fewer caucuses than in 2016.

I like him. But I think he’s just too old. Democrats probably want someone younger. I’m looking forward to the polls checking up on this though.

He IS too old, but still better than the rest I think: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/02/there-is-still-only-one-clear-way-to-get-rid-of-trump …
