Another idea I like. You're on a roll! This is the worst possible time for the party to have a chairman like Perez, not that any time would be a good time. He has truly been a disaster. Nice column.
yeah , Os Trigonum has a point .... they are all coming to the conclusion that they are about to lose their own party to a socialist and are willing to drop their personal campaigns to put an end to it.
Possible but not likely. I think there is more of a chance of Sanders winning the presidency but losing the House than of winning all three. I'll use the example of MN 2nd Congressional district again. This district has affluent suburbs south of Minneapolis and also a lot rural farm land. It flipped from Republican to Democrat in 2018 and is currently represented by Angie Craig who campaigned on a platform very similar to Amy Klobuchar's. In 2016 Clinton narrowly won the state of Minnesota but the Democrats also lost the majority of Representatives with MN 8, a rural district flipping from blue to red. Clinton overwhelmingly won the Twin Cities and just enough of the suburban vote to hang on but outside of the Twin Cities got pasted. Sanders has even more support in the Twin Cities than Clinton did and it's likely that will be enough to hold the state. Once you get outside of Minneapolis St. Paul that changes. In the rural districts Sanders has absolutely no chance. In it is questionable though if he has a chance in the suburban 2nd and 3rd districts which Democrats flipped. Those districts are made up of rural voters and affluent suburbs. The type of well off establishment people that Sanders frequently criticizes in his rhetoric. While those people might not like Trump they might also be very uncomfortable with Sanders policies targetting the well off. So even if Sanders wins the state as the head of the ticket Democrats like Angie Craig and Dean Philips will be associated with his platform and might lose their seats.
