Sanders' challenge: Winning over Obama Supporters

[msrizzo]

It's Politico, probably an attempt to egg Hillary on to attack Sanders in the debate, but still an interesting read.

Bernie Sanders has a well-defined support network – highly educated, white liberals. But to win the nomination, he’ll need to build a much broader coalition. And in this, one man may stand in his way: Barack Obama.
It’s not that Sanders has a bad relationship with the president — it’s that they barely have a working relationship at all. The senator has been sharply critical of Obama, whose popularity is rising especially among the Hispanic and African-American voters missing from Sanders’ support network.
