While it’s clear the DNC didn’t want Sanders as the candidate, the reality is that he just didn’t have the votes, regardless of how many thumbs were on the scale.
The RNC didn’t want Trump as the candidate either, but guess what? He got the votes.
- UnpossibleJim 4y agoThere were moderate Republicans who would have crossed the aisle to cast their vote for Bernie (according to polling) thanks to a strong ground campaign and (while poo poo-ed) YouTube and Podcast support as well as a strong minority support from African Americans and Latinos due to not just "expecting their vote" like the Democrats did, but doing the work and actually campaigning to them and addressing their concerns. Bernie support was stronger than was given credit, rather Hillary liked it or not, and that disenfranchisement was a large part of her loss, and led a lot of people to just not vote, or in the case of Latinos, vote on the single issue of abortion.
