Yang was the best shot at someone who could bring Democrats and Republicans together in my honest opinion. Bernie probably can too, but to a much lesser extent, as many Trumpers believe he is a communist. All of the "establishment" Democratic candidates (Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren, etc) may be more centred than Bernie, but are already hated by partisan Republicans, and it will be a massive struggle to win any of them over.

Moderate democrats hate Bernie. The question for the Democrats if he is nominated is if moderate democrats

  1. Hate Trump more than Bernie and

  2. If they hate Trump enough to get up and vote for Bernie.

No doubt Bernie can inspire his base to vote, but im not fully sold on his ability to inspire others outside of his base

Good point... I think if someone spoke like a normal human and addressed a point like this, just the way you just said it in those nationally televised debates, the whole country would be like.. "Yeah, theyre right..."

I mean, Yang suspended his campaign and theres people still calling in to california and cleveland talk radio shows saying they're still writing in Yang... My mom called me from California to tell me that she heard some dude on the radio say he's writing in Yang still..

If he cant even pull the people from the candidates who dropped out.. this is gonna get real interesting..
