One under-appreciated aspect of the 2020 invisible primary for Dems is the degree to which @BernieSanders has kept a political movement activated. Gatekeeper? Kingmaker? Nominee? None of the above?https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-are-already-campaigning-2020-so-trump-n831651 …

At their own peril? Please. The Dems could ignore him entirely and be just fine.

I’d argue his potential 2020 opponents have been negligent regarding the 2020 nomination rules. Sanders has gotten every change he’s wanted and blocked attempts to limit caucuses. Sandersis winning big so far.

2020 is a long way away. But, as you point out, he and his allies have been VERY active on things that could matter in the nomination fight, whether he's a candidate or not.

The nomination rules will be adopted this year. Crying in 2020 will be meaningless. Give Sanders credit- eye on the ball. Credit to him. I oppose his reforms for reasons of voter participation being limited by his support for caucuses. But his goal is to win, not support voters.

Take him seriously in what sense? He’s a US Senator and potential Presidential candidate in 2020. Indeed, I agree with you that his potential 2020 opponents have been completely AWOL regarding the 2020 nomination rules and Bernie has, to this point, strong armed the process./1

Konst, who you interviewed for your piece, was extremely effective on Sanders behalf on the URC to get rules that favor Sanders. Sandersnistas have been ruthless so far. His potential 2020 opponents have failed so far. The RBC meeting on 1/20 will be an important moment.

It was dangerous & stupid to let a non Democrat run for the nomination in first place. Now it places the party Democratic organization in peril to allow Bernie to run again. Bernie is not one of us, he is a traitor &
