Michigan to Sanders: The revolution has been cancelled [View all]

In a stunning turn of events, Democratic primary voters have chosen not to upend American society with a collectivist revolution. Hard to figure out just why - is it the record low unemployment, rising real wages, generally low crime rate, the end to America's longest war? Regardless, we can now say for certain the Bernie Sanders Revolution has been cancelled. Turns out people like dull and quiet a lot more than storming the Bastille. Better luck in 2024.

The fact is that the numbers for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) keep dropping relative to his performance in 2016. He is not expanding his coalition - and doesn't seem interested in making any effort to do so. Typical of ideologues, Sanders has decided it's his way or no way. And Democratic voters have opted for no way.

Democrats in Michigan have ended the Sanders campaign as any threat for the party's nomination and have done so decisively. Not even a meltdown by former Vice President Joe Biden at the debate on Sunday can save Sanders given his abysmal performance yesterday. Sanders once again lost ground everywhere from his 2016 performance. Earlier multi-candidate contests gave Sanders an excuse that he could do better with a one-on-one matchup. Not anymore.

Sanders threw everything he had at Biden - and failed to even scratch the paint.

The revolution will not be televised.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
