By the time Debbie's finished there might not be any elected Democrats
except Hillary.
Benji: Ron, not Rand.
Yeah, there was a drop off, probably always is. But one thing about Ron was that his cult was full of long time supporters, either from his 2008 bid or people who had backed him for years and years.
Sanders was arguably far less well known and supported as a thing more than a curiosity Senator among all sorts of left circles, whereas there were few libertarians that didn't know about Ron and he had plenty of people who were fans of his since the 1988 bid.
Especially for 2012 which is why they went to the mat to get elected to the actual delegate, state/county/local party, etc. positions. I doubt many Sanders people will be doing that months after his bid is done and the general has effectively started. Especially if the Sanders campaign apparatus abandons them if they try, Ron's didn't. (He suspended his campaign in part so they could shift the money/staff over to that...and his family members.)
