@KennethBaer That would work. But as shrill as Bernie is, he is nowhere the pariah that Wallace was and nowhere the protest candidate that Jackson was. — PolitiTweet.org

I can't recall a protest candidate who had the total uncritical loyalty of 15-20 percent of his party, but no opportunity to grow. Closest analogue actually was Jesse Jackson in 1988, — PolitiTweet.org

There have been some candidates like this I suppose, but they're protest candidates who aren't really running to win.

@KennethBaer In many ways, Bernie is Henry Wallace in 1948, right down to the honeymoon in the Soviet Union. The difference, of course, is that Wallace never sought the Democratic presidential nomination. But, hell, historical comparisons can't be perfect. — PolitiTweet.org
