You didn't really offer anything constructive to counter that opinion. There are pro Sanders, AOC and Warren opinion pieces in the Post all of the time.

Yeah but this was the same talking point with Trump in 2016, that he rarely got above 35% until the field whittled down. While it may be true that the centrist vote combined is the majority, this isn't a team competition. It's also a bit much to suggest if for instance Biden and Klobuchar dropped out, that 100% of their support would go to Buttigieg. End of the day the centrist block put all their chips on the wrong horse in Biden. Although who the #### could have known Bloomberg was the right horse to back?
