A big part of the story of the night is that Bernie didn’t do so well amongst those whom we stereotypically think of as ‘white liberals’: the well off and well educated (that was one of Hillary’s strengths, and part of Obama’s coalition). His dominant support came from whites who are less educated and make less money -— some of the very people whom his policies would help the most, and the socio-economic group that democrats lost to republicans when the new deal coalition was split asunder by Reagan. That is truly a yuuuuge difference between him and more recent ‘liberal’ candidates.
