sanders is not finished yet. but the numbers are getting worse and worse, and he's not being beaten by better candidates.

it's true that the media is out to hurt him, but that was true in 2016, too. if he beat the media then, why can't he beat it now?

i'm going to tell you what the narrative is going to be if he ends up losing badly in the first few primary states, and i'm laying this down now because i think the campaign needs to get their head around it in order to turn things around.

after 2016, bernie was (rightfully or wrongfully) criticized for running a campaign that had too many white people in it. now, i think everybody that knows his policies knows he wants to legislate in favour of everybody, and that the conclusion that he was tilted towards white voters due to the composition of his campaign was unfair. but, he reacted by replacing a lot of people that were hired due to their qualifications with a lot of people that were hired due to their skin colour, or what religion they have, or where they were born. and, frankly, it shouldn't be surprising that replacing merit with background has sunk his campaign.

bernie is losing because his team sucks. and, he has time to figure that out.

now, that doesn't mean he should fire everybody and replace them with people that are white, as that would just be repeating the same problem. but, the campaign is going to need to do a comprehensive survey - who was hired because they deserved it and who was hired to increase diversity? and, they're going to need to correct it, and make sure they don't keep doing it.

i promise you that this will be the narrative, if he loses. and, it's probably the right one, too.
