I'd say about now in the cycle, South Carolina came before Nevada last time and Trump won that along with NH and basically a tie in Iowa. Jeb! dropped out and Rubio was cratering. That was when like Hannity switched over from what I recall. Some obviously like Lou were with Trump from the start. And some hoped Cruz could come through, like Rush, although not Fox, was pretty Cruz favorable until it was obviously too late.

I always felt Rubio was their guy. Then Christie shived him on live TV.

Quote

Until then his platform was a bandaid on a gaping chest-wound of capitalism.

giving people free healthcare and education can't solve the inherent contradictions in the laws of capitalism that lead to its mass proletarianization, stagnation, and recurrent crises. It cannot fix the psychopathy of the workplace, eliminate the disparity between urban and rural, stop our tumbling toward extinction, or rid us of slavish obeisance to the law of value. The distance between Sanders and Yang and Warren and even Buttigieg is quite small compared to the distance we have to go. Anything other than commitment to the DECISIVE end of capitalism is but a band-aid over capitalism. Please read Reform or Revolution if you're going to walk around jerking yourself off calling yourself a communist all the time.

From here I think Sanders just gets on a roll. I don't think there's nearly as much resistance to him within the party as pundits or social media addicts would imagine, and if people are seeing you throw a victory party every week they're liable to just jump on board.
