Thesis

Machine proposal, blind to the market: Sanders' 2026 screen is explicit (Medicare for All, big money, Gaza) plus the candidate must seek it. Talarico passes one of three (populism), rejects M4A ('Medicare for Y'all'), is partial on Gaza, and runs coalition-rightward with Republican endorsers. Sanders skipped this race in the March primary when a test-passer (Crockett) was in it. Base rate ~10-15% for off-screen endorsements, raised to 0.22 by marquee status and seven weeks of unity pressure before early voting.
