The Longest Goodbye

BY EMILY CADEI

@emilycadei

THE SUN WAS SETTING over the Anacostia River in Washington as Bernie Sanders wrapped up a rambling stem-winder before hundreds of die-hard supporters on June 9. The crowd was young and ethnically diverse, with a few gray heads sprinkled in, much like the coalition of voters that fueled his unlikely rise from Senate gadfly to liberal juggernaut in this year’s Democratic primaries. The 74-yearold urged the crowd to turn out and vote in D.C.’s June 14 primary—the final contest of 2016—saying an upset win for his campaign would show that his supporters “are ready to lead this country into a political revolution!”

BERNED OUT: “Bernie is going to be good for the party; he’s going to be good for the senators who are running,” said Harry Reid.
