For the second straight campaign, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will be the runner-up for the Democratic presidential nomination. Over the course of two elections, he has galvanized young liberals and moved the party well to the Left. This time, he even has likely nominee Joe Biden, the supposed “centrist” in the race, talking about free college.

After Biden demolished him in another wave of primaries on Tuesday, Sanders has no plausible path to the nomination. He has lost 20 of the last 26 contests following his victory in Nevada. He already lost winnable states, including Texas, Washington, and Michigan — the latter being the site of a major upset win in 2016. California, the biggest state he was able to claim, is already well behind him.
