      Bernie Sanders has a national political infrastructure, locked-in support from significant portions of the electorate, and an alternative media ecosystem that is intensely devoted to him. The fact that his 2020 chances are being so heavily downplayed is borderline delusional

      He's most likely going to be running against a huge field of people who are very similar to one another in numerous respects, so even eking out a plurality would be sufficient in the early stages of the primary (as Trump demonstrated last time)

      Of course it won't be easy and nothing is certain, but "the fundamentals" are absolutely there for a run that is on much stronger foundation than the conventional takes would have you believe. His political capital has not diminished since 2016, but grown

      He's even done things to address relatively marginal weaknesses, like on foreign policy (successfully ushering though the truly groundbreaking Yemen resolution). He extracted a concession directly from Jeff Bezos! Name another national politician with that kind of sway

      The attacks are going to be brutal (endless identity stuff) but he has the resources in place to withstand them. And for people moaning about age: he's four years older than Trump and almost certainly in better health (fewer cheeseburgers) so whatever. Ageism is very offensive!

          I like your article but you didn't weigh the optics of Sanders run based on whether or not trump even makes it to 2020 given his mounting legal troubles and assumed impeachment.

          Assuming impeachment is a little much, but you’re right that of course there is the potential for a host of unforeseen variables. Point of the piece was more to take a snapshot of the political landscape as it stands today

          Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you meant by it having "...to be affirmatively dealt with at some point". Wasn't Jane Sanders recently cleared of these allegations?

          Do you want younger leadership or progressive policies? Because there aren't any younger pols out there with his policies that will be able to win.

          Good read. Bernie is smart by just ignoring the pundits, etc. He's cutting out the middlemen and going straight to the voting public. The establishment will fight him because they realize if he wins, the donors/corporations will lose.

          Correction: Sanders is not actually a socialist. He has called himself that before, but his policy proposals make him more of a social democrat. Recently he's used the term Democratic socialism, but I've never heard a policy proposal from him that is more than social democracy.

          You make no mention, no do most of the comments, of his woeful performance among African Americans, leading to him being bludgeoned in the deep south primaries. I say this as Bernie supporter from SC. There's no guarantee those voters would migrate to him should Hillary not run.

          It’s pretty simple...Bernie isn’t considered the front runner because only a small percentage of Democrats want him as their nominee. His time is over.

          Real reason he's toast isn't that he represents a threat to the corporate donor class (what 'threatening' legislation could he get through congress in any case?). It's that he lost the African American vote by FIFTY+ points. #VeryWhiteToast

          The way this works is that banks, international corporations, and the military industrial complex DECIDE who the front runner will be. The MSM is simply the propaganda arm of the people who are actually in control. To them, Bernie is a joke who can be easily derailed at will.

          If Democrats want to win the presidency they have to get more youthful candidates like Ocasio Cortez, or else the Republicans will continue to rule the US with an iron fist
