WASHINGTON—Three years after fighting a surprisingly competitive Democratic primary race against Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, is making another run for the White House.
Two sources with direct knowledge of his plans told Yahoo News that Sanders, an independent and self-described “democratic socialist,” plans to announce his presidential bid imminently. While Sanders has been considering a bid for months, one of the sources said he was emboldened by early polls of the race that have consistently showed him as one of the top candidates in a crowded Democratic primary field. In particular, the source said Sanders was heartened to see numbers indicating he is one of the leading candidates among African American and Latino voters, two groups he was perceived as struggling with in 2016.

2020 is shaping up to be a cavalcade of slush funds.
Agreed. The Democrats are all about identity politics. Short of Oprah or Michelle Obama entering the race, the nomination is Kamala’s. She’s black, female, and far left. She’s perfect for the Dems.
Yes he is. Missed his recent speeches going after Trump with respect to the wall?
PS. The matter with illegal aliens is an invasion issue, not an immigration issue.
BTW, Sanders’ stance as of July of last year is to abolish the entire present immigration system and “restructure” ICE without offering details of any of it.
Some would say Obama was not eligible but he was President for eight years. I hear ya but it seems dems get a free ride on eligibility.
This one is a little clearer and undeniable, as she has the disqualifying info right on her own wiki page.
There will probably be hundreds wanting to run as his vice president. Fast track to POTUS.
McAwful? You think so? I don’t. Clinton toadys are not in right now.
Booker? LOL, I can’t see it.
Biden (if he runs), Sanders, Warren, Harris!
People are gabbing about Sherrod Brown and his Alpha Bitch wife. I doubt it, boring, wouldn’t carry Ohio, Hillary 2.0 wife is a liability not an asset.
Rolling Stone has power rankings, they had shrill dark-skinned Stacy Abrams at #5 before she indicated a failed Senate bid was more her speed, so take their analysis with a grain of Salt.

We have our first exist already, Richard Ojeda, the Coal Country Commie, who claims he’s going great but just can’t justify talking people’s money for a longshot campaign. More likely it’s about to come out that he did something naughty with his peepee (or the back of his hand, he looks like a domestic abuser).
Is this interesting? Well to me actually yes cause I’m a massive election nerd. Certain types who want more of a focus on awful policy discussions are becoming harshly critical of the “horse race” as they call it but obviously I’m a horse race guy. Gotta know which nags to worry about it.
Needs repeating every time her name comes up.
Neither was Obama-lama-ding-dong, but that didn't stop him. (Needs repeating every time you bring up this silly argument)
Or, at the rate she's going, Useful Idiot Ginsburg's corpse.
“First exist” I meant first EXIT (of someone who had started running).
Sanders would scare the crap out of suburbanites that voted Hillary/D in 2018.
I’m NOT scared of Sanders.
You can bet his little Puerto Rican Chiquita Banana is going to be on the ticket with him. After all, he created her.
Not silly.
Its a fact.
He can’t even stand up straight.
He has no chance. A lot of Bernie Sanders supporters refused to vote for Hillary and that helped Trump win. She will want to get even for that.
Bernie can’t run in DNC if he doesn’t declare and stay as a RAT...

Sanders is the least corrupt on the left. We’d be better off with someone who hates corruption even if he loves socialism, than with a sleazebag criminal a la Hillary who has no actual political leanings even as she feigns left. The Typical deep state leftist spouts the crap but just wants to rip us off for personal $ and power. That isn’t Bernie. He actually believes the socialism stuff and hates the deep state. Differing politics bests evil.
No, no, no Bernie! No more getting a house for running for President and pulling out. Hillary only pays for one house, after that she has other ways to stop you. My suggestion if you know what’s good for you is to go enjoy the lake house and forget about the run for President.
