Charlie Hurt: ‘Trickle Down to All the Other Races’ Having Bernie at the Top of the Ticket ‘Could Be Devastating’

EXCERPT:

HURT: "Oh, I think without a doubt, if you look at the — just the trend over the first three contests with each contest, Bernie Sanders improves his share of the vote, and while, I think he's going to have real problems down the stretch, coalescing all of the different factions of the Democratic Party. He is doing it better than anybody else. Certainly better than Joe Biden is doing it. And if he just over performs, performs better in South Carolina than people were expecting, that's a tremendous thing. And of course, this is the reason why Democrats, establishment Democrats are so concerned about having Bernie Sanders at the top of the ticket, not only does it mean that — I think that they are going have a terrible time in November trying to capture the White House, but the trickle down to all the other races having Bernie at the top of the ticket could be devastating for House and Senate races."
