13370992, not only did a bunch of bernie acolytes lose in downballot primaries

a lot of them were lucky if they even finished top 5.
thats like a lot of bernie endorsed candidates in 2018 who werent running in already super blue districts.
obama alumni eating heartily tho.
the pundits got it right this time around. bernie would have been a disaster in downballot races.
texas is only 5 seats away from a majority (D)emocratic congressional house delegation.
texas is only 9 seats away from a majority (D)emocratic state house delegation (there are 9 current red state house districts that went for beto too).
even if dems dont win texas in the presidential race...these are significant ways in which texas could still turn blue.
bernie would have thrown *all* of that away.
