5 Reasons Bernie Sanders Wins Big With Cruz Dropout

(clipped)

1. News coverage for the Democratic primary, and thus Bernie Sanders, will increase exponentially — immediately.

2. Sanders will pick up a huge number of what would otherwise be Trump votes in states where voters are still able to register for upcoming Democratic primaries, or are able to cross over and vote in the Democratic primary due to being a registered independent.

3. Clinton will have to start spending a great deal of money to fight a two-front war against Donald Trump, who’ll begin his ultra-negative primary campaign against Clinton immediately, and Bernie Sanders, who will avoid attacking Clinton directly but has nevertheless vowed to take the Democratic primary to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

4. Sanders now has a greatly increased chance of winning all of the remaining Democratic primaries and caucuses.

The media will give extensive coverage to what Trump had for breakfast over Bernie's message.

I know Trump provides them a lot of material, but Trevor Noah is all-Trump-all-the-time, every single night. I can't even watch The Daily Show anymore.

but let's face it, it's still a "battle of the liars" race. And Sanders can't run in it.
