Did Bernie have any coattails at all?

[Fresh_Start]

I know his Senate candidate from CA was in 5th or 6th place with about 2% of the vote.

1. None at all. He really did nothing to help get a Democrat majority in the Senate

and neither did his supporters. Hell, he even had the nerve to bash fundraisers for Democrat running for office.

2. Coattails take time to build. Nt

3. Not really. Coattails are made by the actions of the up ticket candidate.

Besides, what all those years Bernie has had in Congress? Hillary had how many?

5. They take time to build.

It's a big part of why Clinton is so impressive. She has built a vast network of Democrats helping Democrats.

"What all those Bernie has had in congress?"

Very little.

6. Not really. Even Tim Canova, the candidate he supported

in Florida, has almost no chance of defeating Debbie Wasserman Schultz in her district. Most Democratic incumbents will win, and at the congressional level, almost all of them have endorsed Hillary. Keith Ellison in MN is an exception. He will win easily in his district, and has endorsed Bernie. I imagine that he'll now switch to support Hillary for the General Election, though.

7. The minimum wage hike passed

I think Hillary supported it to but Bernie probably brought out more non-traditional voters (though less so because of the AP) who voted for it.
