Bernie Sanders will win in 2020 provided he's healthy.

If the Democrats are stupid enough to run another boring, centrist establishment candidate to impede him in this climate I'll probably lose hope in them forever.

Get behind Bernie if you want to win.

Oh, gawd! Not again. "Bernie in 2020: I kissed Russia's Ass First!" The Republicans would crucify him.

Bernie is currently older than Reagan was when he LEFT office! He will be 79 on Sept 8, 2020.

A good chunk of Americans are too, ahem, "primal" to vote for a President with too many syllables in their name. I wish I were joking.

Just like a candidate is more likely to win if they are at least somewhat good looking, they are more likely to win the fewer syllables they have in their name.

Those primal voters aren't going to vote for any Democrat. You're describing the failed genetic experiments and products of incest who make up Trump's base. I don't think it will be an issue with the "lesser of two evils" voters or the Obama voters who stayed home for Clinton.

Mmmmm.....deplorables 2.0

Lol?

Sanders is adamant that Russia is a foe, or at least that it views the U.S. as a foe. He's just a bit hesistant when it comes to sanctions, depending on whatever's attached to them.

His ideas fare well with the general opinion; They considered him a fringe candidate in 2015 until they discovered he was just what the Democrats used to be decades earlier.

I am sad to see that he will be older, but hopefully if it doesn't work, a young upstart can continue where he left off.
 
Sadly, Hillary is done. I'd have voted for her again. Dems need someone who is on the younger side and has some charisma. Someone younger people can relate to. Whoever it is has to fire up the party. And someone not stupid enough to use fake tan that makes them look like a Cheetoh.

Great bumper sticker!

I’m not meaning to be snarky, but this completely misunderstands how elections are fought.

Trump:”Comrade Sanders loved the Soviet Union! Sure he wants to put you back to work...in the salt mines!”

Sanders:”No, no, I am adamant that Russia is a foe, or at least it regard us as one...

Trump: “keep telling yourself that Comrade Sanders!”
 
I don't think this guy has a chance as president, but if he wins it will look similar to when Jack Ryan had to pull out of a race and the GOP lost to some good looking nobody with a weird name in Illinois. Congress, not Senate, but still you have to keep these guys with weird names from making it to DC.

A mistake they will not repeat. I think there was an lot of "She will win anyway" among normally Democratic voters.

Of course on the campaign trail Sanders would not add so many qualifiers to his points either and I won't claim to have a tenth of his charisma, even at his old age.

This is the guy we should all cheer for. It'll make the Republicans' heads explode, en masse, like that scene at the end of the first Kingsman movie. The left-leaning press doesn't mention his grampa and the right-leaning never fails to, I'm sure. Gramps was one of the featured terrorists at Munich in '72.
 
If Trump isn't on the 2020 ballot for whatever reason, Pence certainly will be. When I saw Pence debate Kaine and attempt to defend outrageous things Trump had recently said by simply denying he said them, I pegged him as a consummate opportunist -- a pseudo-Christian hypocrite who would trade his integrity for power even if it meant lying to defend his lying, pussy-grabbing, unchristian running mate. I now think I was partially right except that I'd replace "hypocrite" with "nutjob."

Here's an interview with the author of the book The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence.
Synopsis: "Pence thinks God wants him to be president -- and Trump's scandals are how he'll get there."

Yes, and we can be sure that no candidate ever has had to deal with anything that they didn't plan out ahead of time.
 
Elizabeth Warren is making some moves:

Elizabeth Warren’s had a deceptively busy last few weeks. She dropped one long-shot policy proposal that would try to remake corporate America, then another that aims to actually drain the Washington swamp. She put restrictions on her own fundraising practices and opened her financial books, and bid two staffers farewell as they shipped up to new jobs in New Hampshire.

Bernie is simply too damn old for the Presidency.
And anyway the post in discussion shows an incredible denial of the realities of American Politics.
It's the Lost Tribe theory of politics....that there is a vast, hidden pool of left wing voters who will turn out if the proper candidate is ran.
I hate to say it, but some of the Breniebots can give competiion to the Trumpies when it comes to denying reality. A left wing Personalty Cult is just as scary and dangerous as a right wing one.

That would only be true if Bernie Sanders were running against a Democratic nomination as well as Trump.

However, if Bernie Sanders won the Democratic nomination, then the only thing that needs to be true is that a few thousand voters in the rust belt states vote for him instead of Trump. Trump only won by a small margin in swing states, not because of a "vast, hidden pool" who stayed away.

That said, I am not arguing that Sanders would definitely win. His age and his long track record will certainly be exploited by his opponents.

Well, that's not the only thing. He'd also have to not lose a few thousand voters in MN, NH, ME, CO, NV, NM, NJ, etc....
