Easy win. Can't wait for his 2020 bid!
Hindsight is 2020
I love Bernie. I would most like him to run again in 2020, although Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris are probably my number 2 and 3 picks.
I'm a bit conflicted; I loved Bernie and wanted him to win, but I fear he may be a bit too old by 2020. Plus, although Hillary had legitimate reasons for losing both times, this still feels kinda like Deja Vu of people complaining that Hillary lost and then ran again (and sabotaged) the 2016 election. I mean, people wanted Bernie to win unlike Hillary of course, but the potential parallel still kinda gives me pause.
I think as long as he has a good like-minded VP it'd be OK.
As much as I'd love to see him win, I feel his moment has passed. I don't want another four years of some fucking traitorous clown because people can't get over the fact that Bernie is about as left-wing as you can get.
This is about his run for the Senate, not for the Presidency. And as far as I know, people in Vermont love him, so I don't see why he wouldn't run again.
Bad reading on my part then. Yeah, if he's still beloved in Vermont, why not?
