Just as the Republicans did with McCain/Palin in 2008, the Dems will do in 2020, the next group who have "earned" a shot at being President.
I think the Dems already did this with Hilary in 2016, and Gore in 2000. I think 2020 will actually be a reaction to 2016's primaries for Democratic voters and we will see a fresh face emerge. And it won't be Oprah. ____________________

CNN is likely just trying to capitalize on a person that might generate more interest and viewers.
I hope everyone ignores the 24-hour cable news outlets for reasons exactly like this. Network news is unlikely to pull shenanigans like this since they have other programming responsibilities.

And now we have 77-year-old Bernie Sanders.
I'm not a politico and perhaps I'm naive, but don't these guys know when it's time to give it up and become elder statemen/advisers to younger, fresher candidates? It's purely ego driven.
Age matters. As 81-year-old Jack Nicholson recently said, "My days of having any woman I wanted are OVER. I don't like it, but I'm realistic. I'm not going to make a fool of myself."

Maybe Bernie will propose a middle class tax cut where many in the middle class end up paying more, and it blows up the deficit. Oh...I forgot that successful sham already has an owner.
I guess you're OK with that?

My quote was about Free Health care, Free public college and a higher minimum wage, all things that attract Millennials who have no clue about who ends up paying. Yay!

Actually to answer your question - no, I doubt those are attainable, and I doubt you'd hear shouts of glee.
But I see you didn't answer the question I raised.

You answered a statement about Bernie with a question about the President.
The thread title pertains to "Officially Declared Democrat 2020 POTUS Candidates" of which Bernie is now included.....

WP, you missed the point. I don't care what Sanders offers or doesn't. He's effing OLD - 79 in Nov. 2020. Give it up. Whisper in some young candidates ear, but go away. Quit diluting the dem pool.

Which was a retort to your accusation about something that even you should know Bernie will not be able to achieve as opposed to an action that the President did achieve and was damaging to many in the middle class - those whom were supposed to benefit so we were led to believe.

Agree. Bernie has had his run and made his mark. Time to let others lead the way. I'd be shocked if he has the support this time around.

| So whats Bernie been up too? How has been spending his millions and millions in campaign contributions from his duped supporters. I say duped because he was never going to challenge the belle of the ball in 2016. He predictably folded like a cheap suit. Now shady's back again. How fun is this going to be to watch all the democrats try to be like the socialist and explain how they want America to be more like Venezuela. ____________________

He's lost all the women after the harassment & discrimination claims re his 2016 run. He's tone deaf to what that means.

Venezuela? More like Canada and Scandinavia. Why not use socialist states more similar to the US instead of one that is nothing at all like the US?

No, thanks. Women, particularly young women, know he's DOA.

Bernie Sanders (announced 2/19/2019)
- 77, current US Senator from Vermont, self described Democratic Socialist, serving as elected representative in Washington since 1991, former Mayor of Burlington, lost Democrat Nomination 2016
https://berniesanders.com/
Maybe the best thing is we will get more Larry David on SNL.
I really believe that Bernie's time was last cycle. His message has now been picked up and spread throughout the party and he isn't unique anymore really.
Oh, he gets the CNN Townhall treatment next Monday.

I love how people like to bash millennials, to excuse the utter stupidity of the boomers who raised them with their backwards archaic thinking. Typical to point the finger at the pupil rather than the leader. It’s so much easier that way.

Has Goober jumped the shark? I’ll be honest, I used to get enraged by his posts but I haven’t in a very long time. I think he wants to provoke arguments and probably doesn’t even hate Democrats. This post just seems very fake and insincere because, in all honesty, how can somebody sit at home and feel so strongly about Bernie and Jussie Smollet?
