He had enough support the last time around but, superdelegates...
People really need to stop using Donald Trump’s talking points. Trump made this claim too. It’s false:
Trump tweeted, "An analysis showed that Bernie Sanders would have won the Democratic nomination if it were not for the Super Delegates."
This does not check out. Sanders would have still lost without superdelegates in the mix, because Clinton won a majority of the popular vote and pledged delegates.
Bernie needs to become more popular if he wants to be the nominee. He didn’t do it in 2016 and he doesn’t appear to be doing it now. Was he a pleasant surprise in 2016? Absolutely. Has he won the messaging war? Yes, he’s clearly moved the party to the left. But he’s never been the most popular candidate; which is necessary to become the party’s nominee.
