1/This is a key point - Bernie has never had to lead a Democratic ticket into battle against Republicans before, ever; and the only GOPers he’s faced are genteel New England ones.
Awful lot of new terrain for Sanders/his campaign to cover - chance for fatal mistakes very high.

2/Bernie is wildly out of synch w/the majority of Dem voters/elected officials, and what happened in Florida last night - Dem electeds immediately denouncing his loony Castro defense - could become the norm.
Reality is Bernie is incredibly unprepared to lead the Dems in 2020.

3/To win the WH/flip the Senate, Bernie will have to keep Dems together, fight real Rs and build majority coalitions in AZ, CO, FL, GA, ME, MI, NC, PA, WI.
He's never done anything like that before in his life and he's 78.
The only Rs he's ever faced are a few 100,000s in VT.
