And Bernie was considered unlikely to win before all that. Also 1/2 the field giving up and endorsing Biden had to have done plenty too. you could maybe argue 2016, since Clinton ran a very weak campaign, and Sanders had the same we need real change outlook trump was pushing, but even then Id say its still a stretch. Being a democrat also meant Bernie wouldnt have the cult-like support Trump did and so probably wouldnt be nearly as successful. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:951352244] in Bernie wou...
