nomination of Sanders, which not only will result in a extremely probable POTUS loss, but quite likely will result in us losing the House as well.

If Buttigiegs falters, Biden is by far our best chance to win the POTUS and also hold the House, and have at least a fighting shot at winning back the Senate.
