Nate Cohn: Sanders campaign mistakenly lowered debate expectations of Biden


?s=20

@Nate_Cohn
Well I’m usually not a fan of the expectations game, but Biden’s up 20 and my interactions all week said said he would crack in a one on one debate bc he was senile or something. Either way, the bar was low and I don’t see how you can argue it wasn’t cleared

In its twilight hours it's literally spinning out of control in a free fall. It's painful to watch.

Reruns never have their original ratings when they're up against a new show. He tried to frame Biden as Hillary 2.0 and it never gained traction. The RW and Russian endorse smears just got Trump impeached and untimely didn't hold the sway they did in 2016. Which kneecapped Sanders after South Carolina.

Politics are my thing, they always have been. I'm locally involved and I do volunteer for many a campaign. I've even been employed by some state ones. I'm a low level person, but I've never seen the likes of how he runs a campaign, let alone on a national level, in my life.

I'm on the record here saying I didn't want him to run again because he's too divisive. I was assured he'd learned those lessons and would hold his campaign to a higher standard. I weep and laugh intermittently as I've watched it unfold this cycle.

On the same gig for 50 years. Do not expect him to change now.

Some grow more mellow as they age, others become more rigid. I will leave it to the posters to make a judgement.
