Bernie Persists (2020 Run?)

“He’s running for president,” Guma assures me, when I ask about Bern-mentum for 2020, “he’s a movement and the head of a personality cult.” Jeff Weaver demurs when asked about Sanders’s plans for 2020 but says that if Sanders runs, he’s on board. A Sanders staffer I met at Weaver’s party is less circumspect, saying her money is on another Sanders presidential run. Guma agrees. “The establishment will put up various people, but he’ll announce, no doubt,” he says, adding that Jane Sanders is encouraging Bernie to run. “She’s pushing him to do this.” Yes, he would be the oldest presidential candidate in American history, and an unreconstructed socialist millionaire, “But why wouldn’t he?” Guma says. “He’s the presumptive front-runner.”

Bernie Gantry

If he won, the nuclear suitcase would have a defibrillator in it!

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Persist, Resist…
Please just Desist.

I hope both Bernie and Hillary run again. It would be hilarious.

If Sanders wasn’t such a puss-puss he could have beaten Hillary for the nomination. He played nice early in the primaries and actually defended Clinton against charges of corruption. He was trying to be a good boy and fit in with his liberal Dem friends. The DNC didn’t care and rigged caucuses to help HRC and he looked like a fool in the end (and he was a fool). By the time he started fighting back it was too late.

Bernie is loved by the PLiL!

Professional Losers in Life!

Each vote he wins, is a vote lost for the rats. He is their Ross Perot!

[cuban leaf]

I think McCain should run against Trump in a primary. :-D

That would be so much fun!

[Lockbox]

Why not, he got a lake house last time. Now he can work on a mountain home.......

Diana, Bernie is simply a first generation carpet bagging Capo. Not all the liberal trash from the Boroughs of NYC came West. They also moved north to infect New England. Like our “home grown Governor, Jerry Brown, i don’t believe that Sanders has ever had a private sector job.

“Sanders wis born in Brooklyn, New York to Eli Sanders and Dorothy Glassberg. His parents were Polish Jewish immigrants who moved to New York during the early years of World War II.

Sanders studied at Brooklyn College and at the University of Chicago. He was one of thousands of students who traveled by bus to Washington, D.C., to take part in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”

He should try Venezuela next time.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ben Jealous, both Berniecrats, won upset victories in their primary races

There is a candidate running as a democrat named Ben Jealous!!! .. Ben Jealous too funny how did I miss this, needs to find a running mate named Will Tax - the Jealous Tax ticket

[Buckeye McFrog]

The DNC is planning to pre-empt him by adopting a rule that you must actually be a DEMOCRAT to claim the nomination (no more “Independent Socialists”).

He’s gonna get SCROOOOOD again, and the Democrat Civil War is gonna ramp up another couple of notches.

[married21]

Hey, the last time he ran, he got a new house as a consolation prize. No wonder he wants to run again.

[mac_truck]

I look forward to what President Trump has to say about crazy Bernie.

[Buckeye McFrog]

the last time he ran, he got a new house as a consolation prize.

Sure beats a can of Turtle Wax and the home version of our Election Rigging Game.

[cgbg]

Old socialists never die—they just run out of other people’s money!

[Persevero]

Nevertheless he persisted!

I hope both Bernie and Hillary run again. It would be hilarious.

It will be nasty. Bernie won't be bought off this time and play nice. The establishment super delegates won't all be lining up behind Hillary. There will be other candidates who will feel that they've waited long enough and won't step aside this time for the old guard. There is enough pent-up anger in the Democrat Party that if things aren't going their way, the convention could make the 1968 Democrat convention look like a Sunday School class.

“I hope both Bernie and Hillary run again. It would be hilarious.”

Me, too! Bernie as a crazy commie Independent and Hillary as an old RAT white woman — split the RAT-Commie vote — how left do they want to go — what to do, what to do! DJT in a 2020 landslide!!
