First Read: Are Rubio and Sanders Playing to Win? (NBCNews)

-Dylan Stump

Analysis:

This article analyzes the campaigns of both Marco Rubio and Bernie Sanders and asks if either campaign's strategy is aiming to win. While this article does a good job of outlining some of the strategic failings of these respective campaigns, namely their reluctance to attack the respective front-runners, I think the central argument that they are not "in it to win it" is not valid, but merely that both campaigns are fighting against foes with strong advantages (Trump's populist appeal and name recognition, Clinton's name recognition and support amongst party elites).
