Bernie Sanders Did Not Expand The Electorate, Lost Moderates, Women, Older Voters

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) needs to show he can expand the Democratic electorate in order to make a convincing case that he could take on President Donald Trump effectively. But if Iowa is any indication, the Vermont socialist is not on track to achieve his goal.

Yahoo News reported, ahead of the Iowa caucus, that Sanders was “banking” on a win in the state and an “expanded electorate” on top of his “solid base,” giving him momentum heading into more contentious primaries.
