      My gut tells me that if Bernie has the best chance of beating Trump, that most Democrats would still rather run somebody else and lose than run Bernie and win. He’s literally the most popular elected official in the country. He could beat Trump.

      Here the 5 factors I think it will take to defeat Donald Trump in 2020. Traditional rules of presidential politics simply don’t apply against Trump. A thread...

      1. Trump’s opponent must not share any of his key weaknesses on honesty, character, sexual assault/harassment. They must be the anti-Trump. Barack Obama is the anti-Trump in this sense. Any candidates that have Trump’s weaknesses, and nullify them, shouldn’t run.

      2. Trump’s opponent must already be able to pack stadiums (without Beyoncé or Bruce opening up) across the country. Now. They must already have a devoted, energized base. Bernie has this. Oprah & Michelle have it. Most others don’t.

          Bernie has decades in Congress, passed 3 bills,2 naming post offices. He takes credit for the work of others and uses resources other people worked to build. When he’s done using Dems he goes back to attacking us. He’s harder on Dems then he’s ever been on Trump. #NeverBernie

          Bernie does not "have this" at all. And putting him in the same paragraph as Michelle Obama disrespects Michelle. Bernie hijacks energised groups whenever he sees an opportunity to grandstand - he doesnt have his own. He is all talk no clue & that's a disaster at this point.

          I cannot fathom *who* in their right mind thinks that Bernie could even win a local PTA seat, much less a 2020 POTUS race! People are either living in a fantasy or being obtuse tools for the opposition... or maybe both!

          Don't know what you see in Bernie or why you like him so much, but I don't see him getting anyone to the polls

          Here’s what it takes to beat Trump. For the rest of America to turn up and vote. Trump maxed out his vote last election. He has nowhere else to pull votes from. That in itself makes him a weaker candidate next time around.

          See this is what gets us into trouble. That 'devoted energized base,' of Bernie's wasn't strong enough to win the Dem primary, but they were strong enough that when split btw a Green party ticket, Putin's hacking coup & their own bitter vengeance, they will fck us over again.pic.twitter.com/3RgvumEJAP

          OMG. Conservatives and Trumpers are doing backflips reading this thread. If this is the direction young liberal America wants to go...you are handing Trump another 4 years and will energize his base for years to come. God help us!

          Why would you even mention Bernie or Oprah when neither meets your first criterion?

          Of the three people you've mentioned, Michelle is the only one I'd get excited about. Bernie would be nearly 80 in 2020. Oprah has smarts and heart, but lacks the experience needed to fix what Trump is breaking. Michelle is smart, and she'd bring a whole circle of ppl to help.
