I listened to the first ten minutes of Bernie’s press conference and it was a narcissistic tour de force of the reasons for his poor performance last night:
- no personal insight into why he struggled
- insistence that he is a perpetual victim
- fact-free claim he’s winning
- no personal insight into why he struggled
- insistence that he is a perpetual victim
- fact-free claim he’s winning
Bernie’s go-to narrative was soundly rejected last night.
He drew no promised turnout boost. Late-deciders ran from him like he was on fire. He unperformed in even his home state.
Yet, his only impulse is double and triple down.
Narcissists lack personal insight.

And the winds of change in the race have made his default rhetoric even less effective.
A healthy majority of the Dem electorate is delighted at the prospect of coalescing even if not delighted by Biden.
Bernie’s all-division-all-the-time shtick couldn’t be less welcome.

The rest of the map isn’t pretty for Bernie.
Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida are going to be brutal drubbings.
With people drawn to unity while Bernie runs around like an angry arsonist, this may get so much worse for him in a hurry.
