Sanders’s 2016 primary strategy may have helped lay the groundwork for the controversial strategy being embraced by his 2020 rivals
“Can you explain why the will of the voters should not matter if no candidate reaches a majority of delegates?” a self-identified Sanders backer asked Warren, describing the idea of a brokered convention as “undemocratic.”https://twitter.com/SawyerHackett/status/1232878877929807872
“That was Bernie’s position in 2016—that it should not go to the person who had a plurality,” Warren continued. “And remember, his last play was to superdelegates. So the way I see it is, you write the rules before you know where everybody stands, and then you stick with those rules.” Though the applause line didn’t go over well with Sanders’ most aggressive online supporters, who began calling for a primary challenger to the Massachusetts senator on, it pointed at how Sanders’s 2016 primary strategy against Clinton may have helped lay the groundwork for the controversial strategy being embraced by 2020 candidates seeking to nab the nomination from him.
Sanders, now the frontrunner, has changed his tune since then. But that’s essentially the strategy that moderates, along with Warren, are pursuing as the Vermont senator builds momentum—and a delegate lead—in the nation’s first contests.
