Bernie Sanders could win the Democratic nomination. But he has to show he can beat Trump by AndrewRomano
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race with one key takeaway every weekday and a wrap-up each weekend. Reminder: There are 28 days until the Iowa caucuses and 302 days until the 2020 election.
Nationally, Sanders trails only longtime polling leader Joe Biden, having just crossed the 20 percent threshold in the RealClear Politics average for the first time since last April, while both Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg have been trending downward. Biden would, of course, debate Vietor’s frontrunner assessment. But what’s now clear is that Sanders’ path to the nomination is just as plausible as the former vice president’s: finish strong in Iowa, win New Hampshire, win Nevada ; win the supreme prize of California on Super Tuesday ; knock out Warren; consolidate the progressive vote; and compete with Biden for delegates all the way to the convention.
By now it’s conventional wisdom that “electability” is the most important thing to Democratic voters; poll after poll has shown that picking a candidate who can evict Trump from the White House is the party’s top priority. And so every time a contender rises in the standings, he or she is subjected to an electability stress-test of sorts. Kamala Harris came first, and for whatever reason — race, gender, lack of message clarity — was found wanting.
