In a change election, with no race or gender card to play? Don’t think he would’ve had a chance. Bernie maybe, they would’ve sold him as a centrist (LSM: “pay no attention to the socialist behind the curtain, he’s the second coming of Scoop Jackson, trust us”, and the lo-fo voters would’ve lapped it up, not to mention the mindless millennials). We dodged a bullet. Thank you DWS for fixing the primary.
Funny that you should mention Scoop Jackson. He was the last Democrat of whom I had a favorable opinion ...
