members believed that choosing an "electable" candidate to run against Donald Trump was of paramount importance.
But over the intervening months, nominating the "electable" candidate became less important than nominating a true believer. Whether that candidate is electable or not is extremely problematic, but the radical Democrats, rising in power and influence in the party, are much less concerned about electability than much of the rest of the party.
A new Iowa poll shows Elizabeth Warren ahead of Bernie Sanders with the "electable" Joe Biden trailing in 4th place. Biden's fall from a double-digit lead to 4th codifies a national phenomenon: the far left is flexing its electoral muscle and it's difficult to see how Biden or any other candidate can stop them."
New Iowa Poll Shows the Radicals Taking Charge
In the short term this is not good for the Left, in the long term it will probably be a "winning" strategy
