Game over for Sanders? It needn't be | Nathan Schneider

As his candidacy falters, where can that rapturous energy be channelled? Into building an economy that serves ordinary people, and excludes the 1%

On Tuesday night I attended a Democratic caucus in a ballroom at the University of Colorado Boulder, where hundreds of college students rallied for the man they hope will become the oldest president in history. Speeches for Hillary Clinton received polite applause, while any reference to Bernie Sanders caused a short period of rapture.

Those students helped Sanders win Colorado. But in most other Super Tuesday states, his bid for the Democratic nomination sputtered. I'm worried about what will become of the sense of possibility that this candidacy created - and the millions of young people who are done bowing to the dictates of capitalism. I'm worried about the fate - and the future - of the Bern.
