Bernie Sanders doesn’t rule out a 2020 White House run

Let’s look on the bright side.

“Clinton was proud of her hawkish and aggressive ways, and that is terrifying“, wrote Cassandra Fairbanks, a journalist and former Sanders supporter who chose to back Trump after the convention.

According to Reich, the Democratic Party failed the working class by embracing a shift of “power away from the people towards corporations”, thus “providing an opening for Donald Trump”. Thus far, the Vermont senator hasn’t decided either way.

He would seemingly be rooting against Sanders, saying the Democratic Party needs someone young- under 65- to be their next presidential nominee. “Making it harder for poor people, for old people, for people of color to actually vote”.

Donna Brazile is now serving as the party’s interim chair through March 2017 after stepping in replace Debbie Wasserman Schultz in July when Wikileaks released emails showing that Democratic officials tried to help Clinton clinch the nomination, instead of playing the role of neutral arbiter in determining the nominee. “And Trump had that and Bernie had that, and Clinton seemed not to know what the rest of us are going through”. Trump’s victory is the result, above all, of a spectacular collapse in support for the Democratic Party. “There are polls out that suggest that, but the answer is you don’t know”. Pointing out that polling had shown Sanders performing consistently better than Clinton against Trump, Sanders’ supporters argue that their candidate would have performed better than Clinton at the general election. “I’m gonna take on the establishment!”

That view, if he is serious, bodes well for Syrians, and for Ukrainians as well.

While he said he was hopeful he would be able to work with the incoming Trump administration, he made clear that would not be likely. Will he, as he promised during the campaign, really take on the pharmaceutical industry and lower the price of prescription drugs? But revoking the so-called Affordable Care Act and leaving Americans to their own devices in an unregulated private insurance market would be another plus.

“It’s time for the progressive wing to reassert themselves and offer a bold agenda to the American people”, Weaver said. “We’ll take one thing at a time, but I’m not ruling out anything”, he said.

“We have some people upset with the cultural direction of the country”, Mellman said, “and to win, Democrats have to find a way to advance principles and causes that we believe in, while not angering those people in quite the same way”.

Sanders’ book Our Revolution was released Tuesday.

An array of political, media and academic apologists for Hillary Clinton-a warmonger, personification of the Washington establishment and servant of Wall Street-are attempting to blame her defeat on “white” racism, anti-immigrant xenophobia and sexism.

With Clinton as the favorite of the party establishment and backed by “superdelegates“, Sanders could not overcome Clinton’s advantage during the primary campaign, eventually conceding the nomination at the party’s national convention in Philadelphia in July.

Warren and Sanders were articulating the frustrations among many liberals in the aftermath of Trump’s stunning triumph over Hillary Clinton. But that’s all history now.

Washington insiders and the corporate media were blindsided by Donald Trump’s victory because they have “little understanding” of Americans’ problems, Bernie Sanders said, adding that the U.S. may want to “rethink” the Electoral College.
