With Elizabeth Warren lagging badly in the early primary states, it appeared that Sanders had also overcome the biggest challenge to being “The Candidate” for the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party. It was time for Sanders to hit the accelerator and begin pushing his lagging rivals out of the race entirely.
