Super Tuesday is a Learning Moment for the Bernie Campaign.
It’s been a roller coaster, and it can teach us something.
Tonight was a rough one for a while, there’s no denying it.
While there was an incredible victory in California and Texas results still yet to come, some pretty hard to swallow losses that shouldn’t have occurred happened elsewhere. Putting aside the obviously infuriating factor of Elizabeth Warren and how eerily quick older generations fell in line the moment they were told to do so, tonight is definitely shaping up to be a learning moment for the Sanders campaign and his base. Not long ago, many were hoping and there was a realistic chance that Super Tuesday could have been the night that Bernie became the undeniable presumptive nominee. While that is no longer the case, by no means is it over and we cannot allow ourselves to forget that.
As I’ve said before, they might win some battles, but we will win the war.
After Nevada, it seems as though many of us got a little too excited and comfortable with the new frontrunner status. Myself included. After all the hard work, it was nice to enjoy it paying off. Of course no candidate or campaign is perfect, and given the context of a race with more than a few people to run against, mistakes are going to be made.
