After all, the eventual nominee is not going to run in a vacuum. She or he will face plenty of sharp attacks from the right, and how well Democrats respond says a lot about how viable they would be in November 2020.
In criticizing Sanders’ decision, Splinter News’ Krueger said, “I’m willing to bet serious money that this ends up being a whole bunch of pointed questions about the Green New Deal, about why Sanders wants to take away the private insurance we all love so much, and about some newspaper column he wrote decades ago, with a question about the deficit thrown in for good measure.”
We should hope so! If Sanders doesn’t have good responses to pointed questions about his democratic socialist agenda, maybe his agenda isn’t ready for prime time. If he does, then he has an even stronger case to make why he should be the nominee and why his agenda should be enacted.
