A Sanders-Led Ticket in 2020? A 2018 Retrospective

0
0

There is a lot of discussion right now about Bernie Sanders’ possible impact on the Democratic ticket in 2020. As with most popular, pundit-driven political discussion, this one also features a lot of conclusory thoughts without a stated basis in fact. The anti-Bernie view, expressed by much of the punditry, simply asserts that Bernie Sanders is too ideological extreme to win. The pro-Bernie view, expressed by his campaign as well as his online supporters, essentially retorts that Bernie Sanders will drive up turnout to overcome the loss of an ever-decreasing amount of swing voters. Meanwhile, Democratic primary voters in between the two views are left without an adequate factual basis to evaluate those competing claims. 

But, we can change that now! Let’s look at how similar candidates to Bernie Sanders fared in 2018. And, when we consider those 2018 results, there is only one inescapable conclusion — Bernie Sanders could be a disaster at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2020.
