The 2020 presidential election is Senator Bernie Sanders’ race to lose, according to a new survey of more than a dozen top Democratic strategists.
The survey, conducted by the Hill, reveals a Democratic field crowded with old faces. At a time when the party could use some fresh blood, most contenders for commander-in-chief have been around for decades. Sanders, who will be 79 years old in 2020, currently leads the pack.
“His people have never gone away,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon told The Hill. “And he has a loyal core following out there that will be with him come hell or high water.” Sanders is the most popular politician in America, with an approval rating of 75 percent, according to a recent Harvard-Harris poll.
Since losing the 2016 primary to Hillary Clinton, Sanders has toured the U.S. to promote his political group, Our Revolution, and his Medicare-for-all bill. His frequent travel has led many to speculate that he’s drumming up support for another presidential run. Advisers to the Vermont senator also have indicated that he’s eyeing the top job. When one of Sanders’ associates was asked if his team was thinking about another run, the associate simply said, “Yes, is the answer.”
Sanders considers himself a Democratic Socialist, and is registered as an Independent in the Senate but ran as a Democrat in the 2016 election. Bannon says that since 2016, Sanders far-left politics have been embraced by Democrats at large. “The Sanders wing is becoming the dominant wing of the party,” he said.
Sanders’ Medicare For All Act of 2017, which promotes a single-payer healthcare plan, is now supported by a third of Senate Democrats. When Sanders presented a version of the bill in 2013, he was unable to garner any support at all.
Read my lips. No new taxes sunk Bush The Groper.
2020 is shaping up to be a replay of 1972.
Oh, I hope so.....
Gee, and all this time I thought Climate Change was a hoax, and Terrorism is caused by islam.
Bin Laden blasts US for climate change
CAIRO – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.
Maybe it’s the Bern’s plan. Last time he ran, he got a $600,000 home on North Hero Island out of it. What else could he get out of Cankles next time?
The Sanders briar patch is home to Brer Rabbit, a very wascally wabbit.
At this point it does look like the Bern will run but they are talking about 50 people running. I’m assuming that’s all on the dem side. Only a hate-filled never Trumper would possibly run against Trump on the pubbie side. Right Mitt Romney and Mark Cuban?
As we get closer I think the pressure will be on Pocahontas to run and she might end up being ‘the guy’. The left really wants to be the party to put the first woman into the WH oval office. Kamala Harris is so unlikeable she even makes Hitlery look sweet. Yuck. She might possibly be picked as a running mate though. Still, a lot of dems feel Bernie was done wrong by the DNC and Hitlery so they may do what they always do; forget logic and vote solely on emotion. It’s a dem specialty.
Unless he has a sex change and dies his skin, he ain’t gettin picked for anything...but go for it.
Ghana is attempting to influence the 2020 presidential election with fake news!
News Ghana??? The Hill???
meh
Is that Colonel Sanders???
He could easily claim harrassment from Hillary, Lil Debbie, and Donna for politically sodomizing him in the Dem primaries. He can easily hop on the current bandwagon and play the harrassment card, being a victim of three nasty women.
oh, brother.
Bernie will wallup Trump in a landslide like we havent seen in while. Dont laugh. Bernie is hugely popular and Americans want free stuff.
Bernie would have walluped Trump in 2016 and if he is the nominee in 2020, he wallup Trump then.
I hope he runs, more Larry David impersonations.
Should be good for a McGovern 2.0 performance at the Electoral College.
Bring it on: Another massive landslide victory and a guaranteed 4 more years of President Trump, MAGA, and perpetual winning!
