The News Journal must have really wanted this dumb bullshit in the story. I mean, they had to go all the way to Temple University to find “a political science professor” unfamiliar enough with Delaware politics to utter this bullsit:
It could also mean major consequences for the party, (Vander Wielen) pointed out. When the district or state isn’t uniformly left-leaning, a progressive primary win could backfire, he said, especially if the winner doesn’t have the networking and fundraising advantages of an incumbent.
“In a place like Delaware, if you had a situation like that, it’s very realistic that that hands the victory to the Republican,” Vander Wielen said. “Going from Democrat to Republican means that there could be seismic shifts in the ideological representation of the state.”
Very realistic? It is not even a little bit realistic. During a presidential year, the Dem primary is the general in Delaware. Why is that so hard to grasp? This guy is stealing money from Temple University.
