Jeff Weaver: Bernie Sanders Is a Much Stronger Electoral Candidate than Joe Biden Is

MITCHELL Let s talk ░░░░░░░░ the math If things ░░░░░░░░ t go well for ░░░░░░░░ on Tuesday he could ░░░░░░░░ 300 delegates or more ░░░░░░░░ going then to Florida ░░░░░░░░ states on March 17th ░░░░░░░░ are even worse than ░░░░░░░░ of those on Tuesday ░░░░░░░░ there a point where ░░░░░░░░ would say where you ░░░░░░░░ would get together with ░░░░░░░░ Sanders and other close ░░░░░░░░ and say The math ░░░░░░░░ just not going to ░░░░░░░░ we need to unite ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump now or ░░░░░░░░ he determined to go ░░░░░░░░ until the convention till ░░░░░░░░ last primary in New ░░░░░░░░ WEAVER Two points on ░░░░░░░░ Andrea One of which ░░░░░░░░ you know when you ░░░░░░░░ these presidential primary campaigns ░░░░░░░░ really at this point ░░░░░░░░ a week by week ░░░░░░░░ We re very focused ░░░░░░░░ March 17th after that ░░░░░░░░ ll get the next ░░░░░░░░ Wisconsin is coming ip ░░░░░░░░ s obviously a good ░░░░░░░░ for Senator Sanders Frankly ░░░░░░░░ he only lost by ░░░░░░░░ a point last time ░░░░░░░░ Secretary Clinton We re ░░░░░░░░ very well with Latino ░░░░░░░░ we have Arizona coming ░░░░░░░░ And then we ll ░░░░░░░░ into The Acela Primary ░░░░░░░░ know New York Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ so on and so ░░░░░░░░ Bernie Sanders has strength ░░░░░░░░ So you know I ░░░░░░░░ we will do this ░░░░░░░░ a week by week ░░░░░░░░ obviously But it s ░░░░░░░░ important again as I ░░░░░░░░ earlier we do have ░░░░░░░░ crisis going on in ░░░░░░░░ country right now a ░░░░░░░░ crisis and it s ░░░░░░░░ there s a voice ░░░░░░░░ there who is unabashedly ░░░░░░░░ up for working class ░░░░░░░░ and articulating a message ░░░░░░░░ will protect those people ░░░░░░░░ this particular time The ░░░░░░░░ side of that Andrea ░░░░░░░░ in all honesty and ░░░░░░░░ taking anything away from ░░░░░░░░ Biden but our view ░░░░░░░░ is and has been ░░░░░░░░ to be that Bernie ░░░░░░░░ is a much stronger ░░░░░░░░ election candidate against Donald ░░░░░░░░ than Joe Biden is ░░░░░░░░ But the voters are ░░░░░░░░ differently Because Senator Sanders ░░░░░░░░ not expanded the electorate ░░░░░░░░ he had hoped to ░░░░░░░░ The young people who ░░░░░░░░ in the polls they ░░░░░░░░ him so overwhelmingly are ░░░░░░░░ coming out they didn ░░░░░░░░ in Michigan WEAVER You ░░░░░░░░ we have seen an ░░░░░░░░ of his base In ░░░░░░░░ states turnout is up ░░░░░░░░ so there s a ░░░░░░░░ of older people and ░░░░░░░░ people coming out compared ░░░░░░░░ last time So there ░░░░░░░░ been in many states ░░░░░░░░ increase in younger voters ░░░░░░░░ commensurate increase with older ░░░░░░░░ He s greatly expanded ░░░░░░░░ base with Latino voters ░░░░░░░░ s overwhelmingly supported by ░░░░░░░░ voters across this country ░░░░░░░░ we ve only had ░░░░░░░░ the delegates chosen There ░░░░░░░░ a second half to ░░░░░░░░ just like unfortunately the ░░░░░░░░ is closed down but ░░░░░░░░ s always a second ░░░░░░░░ MITCHELL But do you ░░░░░░░░ he can win 56 ░░░░░░░░ the remaining delegates WEAVER ░░░░░░░░ Look in this particular ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ very volatile In fact ░░░░░░░░ saw it in the ░░░░░░░░ half of this where ░░░░░░░░ week Bernie Sanders dominated ░░░░░░░░ Nevada right the next ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden had a ░░░░░░░░ result in South Carolina ░░░░░░░░ just happened that one ░░░░░░░░ closer to Super Tuesday ░░░░░░░░ states many of which ░░░░░░░░ clearly in Senator Sanders ░░░░░░░░ moved in Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ direction It s very ░░░░░░░░ right now.”
