Sunday night’s debate will likely go down as the event that ended Sanders’ presidential campaign. On the heels of two disappointing super Tuesdays, a stunning turnaround by Biden, and a global health crisis, Sanders had to do two things to stay alive: First, calm and soothe the nation, and second, lay out a path for ensuring that he can defeat Donald Trump in November. He failed to deliver on both counts. To make matters worse for Sanders, Biden’s debate performance was nothing short of excellent.
