I'm absolutely dumbfounded that Sanders' actual primary plan was to assume Booker and Harris would stay in indefinitely to split the black vote in SC, then zombie along the whole way. Also that he left no room for error on if anyone caught fire in IA/NH (and, look, it happened!). But no, that's not the part that leaves me truly blank. That's that he broadcast it a year ago--And I'm pretty sure that article floated around here at the time--Then seemingly MADE NO ADJUSTMENTS despite fundamentals of the race changing. Did he nor anyone he employs... not know that people drop out along the way? And, what do you know, both candidates he was hoping would help split up the black vote were both gone months before Iowa.
She will. I was famously one of those idiots who feared for her future when she first backed Sanders (he had one foot in his grave at that time, both literally and figuratively) as showing poor judgment, but hot damn Sanders sure did turn things around. Whether that was luck or skill on her part we'll never know! But yeah she seems to have seen the arc of the campaign now, though her style of shooting straight from the hip obviously isn't as adaptable when it comes to handling national-level politics. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Shit's complicated! Plus she's still super new at this! She does still "get it" in a way wish more people would speak publicly, of course.
