    Compromise cannidates don’t work. They let the country go right with no benefit. You know which cannidate actually got lots of crossover votes from Republicans? Bernie Sanders

      Sanders had the support of about 1/3 of the Democrats. You can’t get somebody like that to actually be the nominee unless you get the rest of the Democrats to support their policies.

          If he had a majority of Democratic primary voters behind him, that wouldn’t have mattered so much. The reason he was leading was that the moderates were split across many candidates.
