(13,420 posts)20. The 20% of Sanders voters who would defect are mostly older, conservative white men.
Most of Sanders youth vote will still vote Dem or will not vote. They are not switching, en masse, to 45 or third party like they did in 2016.
The youth vote in 2018 was overwhelmingly blue and it will remain so in 2020 even without Sanders on the ticket.

If Ms. Harris is not the Democratic nominee, she would make an amazing Attorney General.

I would vote for the ticket in spite of Harris. Not because of. What about Stacey Abrams?

I like them both as it is a coin flip for me. Still, Warren has been very, very impressive lately.
