Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says “Bernie Sanders will be much more influential if he loses the nomination than if he wins it.”
Appearing on “CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin” on Monday, Dershowitz argued, “If [Sanders] wins the nomination, he’s going to end up winning two states like Michael Dukakis and his policy will be thrown in the garbage pail. If he loses the nomination but it’s close he will have influence within the Democratic Party.”
Dershowitz commented that it’s “interesting” that Sanders “will be much more influential if he loses the nomination than if he wins it.”
Later, Dershowitz argued that, “[I]f Bernie Sanders wins [the nomination] and then loses the election the way McGovern and Dukakis lost the election, it will actually weaken the left part of the Democratic Party for years to come.”
