He’s looking pretty good in New Hampshire, and the recent attacks don’t seem to have penetrated his armor to any great extent. Suppose he wins the nomination and rides the wave of Trump revulsion some people are predicting to the presidency. Also suppose he’s given a narrow Senate (I.e. not filibuster-proof) majority. What do you think the practical result would be?
He doesn’t have much of a history of birthing new legislation. Even some of his party colleagues might balk at eliminating private health insurance, or some of his more radical proposals. He’d be trapped between them and the AOC wing demanding revolution now. How much could he reasonably be expected to move the needle to the left?
