Quote:We still have time. I fear if Sanders gets the nomination that a lot of Democrats who unfairly blame him for the lost election in 2016 will stay home out of spite on election day.
Personally, I'm looking forward to a Trump/Sanders showdown. I sincerely hope Sanders becomes the Dumbocrat candidate. Trump will win it handily, but it will be entertaining to watch. In spite of losing the House, Trump has a very good record to run on. Like him or not, he's had win after win in regards to N. Korea, China, trade, immigration, the economy, jobs, taxes.... Most of his supporters are willing to put up with his varied and sundry faults because he gets the job done. In fact Trump's Job Approval Rating was higher than Obama's during the mid-terms, and that cannot be attributed solely to the support of people who voted for him.
In 2016 Bernie Sanders had pretty much no record to go on, except for sponsoring bills to rename post offices and being in charge of oversight for the VA while veterans were literally dying before they could get appointments. Sure, there was that flap about Venezuela, but he had the good sense to avoid the fact that he had previously endorsed that country as a socialist success story while they were starving and rioting in the streets. So far, he hasn't really done much to improve his resume for 2020. Unfortunately though, poor Bernie has an even bigger problem than his lackluster performance as a Senator/human being...
Enter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Hank Johnson had to have been pleased to see Ocasio-Cortez elected, because now he is no longer the stupidest elected official in Congress in the entire history of the country. That woman is going to do more damage to Bernies credibility than the left can even begin to imagine. When people hear ol' Bern nattering on about how communism and socialism are the bees knees, people will be thinking about the never ending flood of ignorance flowing from the mouth of self-proclaimed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It's bad enough that she's an idiot, but she's a loud idiot. Lil' Miss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is destined to become the Democratic Party's Sarah Palin, and Bernie Sanders personal albatros.
In all honesty, the best hope for a Democratic Party Presidential win in 2020 is that the Republicans foolishly nominate someone other than Trump to run.
