The immediate question facing the Democratic Party is what to do now that the Russian collusion investigation and the impeachment of Donald Trump both failed.
A sufficiently long losing streak can bankrupt any party no matter how much political capital they have.
With the center broken, the party risks losing them to the other side.
Trump can nail the Democratic Party colors to the socialist mast with Sanders providing the hammer - and the sickle - and pick up those who flee in disgust.
Mr. Sanders's radicalism, Professor Kazin speculated, is troubling to establishment Democrats for a variety of reasons, from worries about his strength against President Trump in the general election to a desire to find a candidate who can unite the party.
The continuing rise of Bernie Sanders-after being denied the 2016 nomination on dubious grounds-means we are likely on the road to having the most left-wing candidate in the history of the Democratic Party and are also well into the almost-certain break-up of that party.
Three is the old guard Democratic Party plus the NeverTrumpers.
