Bernie Sanders could win my undying affection on Tuesday night if he does one thing:

29. thank you for the compliment, I didn't see the Magistrate's post as I was writing mine.

I refer to this

I think the Sanders' campaign was pre-programmed to fail miserably, as they attack everyone who does not fall in line with their vision.

As Sander's unique strategy to add by subtraction. If we only get rid of anyone who doesn't agree 100% with everything we say then we will be so pure that everyone will love us.

Thirty percent of the electorate looks great when there are 8 people running but not so good when there are only two.

Even if you were to accept the flawed proposition that Sanders could beat Trump, Sanders supporters have absolutely no grasp of how it effects down ticket races.

In AZ when Sanders looked hot our great Senatorial candidate, Mark Kelly, was forced to say that he would support Sanders if he were the nominee. There were thousands of ads with Kelly's endorsement that followed a list of Sanders' socialist proposals closing with a clip of clenched jaw Sanders looking into the camera and saying "I will raise taxes".

Our advantage in the polls shrank to MOE. Since Biden became the actual presumptive nominee those ads have stopped and Kelly is back with a 7% advantage. Kelly is likely to energize the Democrats to a point that the state will go for Biden.

Another example is Montana where Bullock absolutely refused to be considered for the Senate, an office he is likely to win. After Super Tuesday when it became obvious that Biden was the nominee Bullock declared his nomination.

So it is clear that Biden is the candidate that can help us control the Senate, and that is the most important hurdle we are facing to pass "progressive" legislation.
