Zitat“Bernie Sanders just lost his first primary of 2020” in South Carolina, Daniel McCarthy writes at Spectator USA. Yet Joe Biden’s victory in the Palmetto State won’t make him the clear front-runner, but only the “ ‘Stop Bernie!’ candidate.” The ex-veep, it seems, can only do well in states with large African-American populations — and thanks not to his “own skill and appeal as a politician,” but to his service with then-President Barack Obama. If Biden clinches the nomination on that basis — an unlikely prospect — it would be “tantamount to writing off the Democratic Party’s own youth activist wing” in favor of a candidate with no real vision. Even if Biden thumps President Trump in November, what “comes after that will be a reckoning for the zombie Clinton party” — hated by its own left base.
