Ezra Klein explains why Bernie got trounced last night. My favorite source was a tweet that read:
If Biden wins the nomination, it will be a real lesson in how power works. Bernie was on track to win, Biden had no campaign, and they all knew it. So a few phone calls were made behind the scenes to Amy, Pete, Beto. Several million was put into a pro-Warren Super PAC. Voila!
Uh, yeah, except for that Bernie was on track to win bit, politics is about power. Some of it is velvet, some of it is steel, but Bernie has NEVER been able to convince people in positions of power within the party that he's a good bet.
Revolutions really don't work, especially when your shock troops can't be bothered to wait in line to vote.
