Bernie? He lost to Hillary by almost 4 million votes, then lost to Biden by 9 million votes (The largest margin since 2004) - how is that motivating the base.

He's a protectionist idealist who the republicans were dying to run against because they knew he'd be easier than Biden.

I'm not a Bernie supporter. Just pointing out that the party repeatedly screws itself over.

Also just because a person loses a primary does not mean they are they weaker candidate in the general election. The math can easily go the other way.
