Analysis: The senator from Vermont has never been so sure of his message — and he's sticking to it.
In the most consequential moment of his political career to date, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination offered an undistilled version of his vision for America on a debate stage here Tuesday. In doing so, the senator from Vermont, who is hoping to reel off a third straight win in this state's Saturday primary, brushed aside harsh criticism from rivals and scrutiny from moderators.
They seemed to be saying — like Henry Clay, who famously said,"I'd rather be right than president" — that Sanders can't win the White House if he sticks to his core ideology.None of it softened Sanders' stances on the issues or his willingness to go headlong into fighting for them.
If Sanders is going to win the Democratic nomination — and party strategists say they will have a much better feel for the trajectory of the race after the March 3 Super Tuesday contests in 14 states — he's going to do it his way. "I think Pete [Buttigieg] brought up one of the most important issues of the impact of Senator Sanders' being at the top of the ticket for up and down the ballot," said Robert Wolf, a top party donor.
