You can’t beat something with nothing.
any of those high-profile Dems—who, though they have varyingly progressive platforms, all fall somewhere within the ideological parameters that have defined the party in the past—threatening Sanders at the moment? Why, it’s because of Joe Biden, who has been bleeding support since announcing his candidacy last year but who entered with enough “establishment” backing that he’s still preventing the non-Bernie vote from consolidating.
Biden’s presence kept Harris and Booker from raising enough money to stay in the race and has boxed Klobuchar into the small space from which she will likely shortly announce that she, too, is dropping out. And it isn’t an accident that the only remaining candidates besides Sanders and Biden would then be Warren and Michael Bloomberg, who have nontraditional fundraising models, and Buttigieg, who was able to get attentionhe was a long shot with nothing to lose.
The party’s aging insiders instead looked at the field and decided to get behind the guy who currently reminds them most of the good times they had with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. In the process, they ignored the candidates who most resembleObama in more germane ways—age, oratorical skill, grassroots following, history of winning votes from important geographic and demographic groups, etc.
