So Bernie Sanders' former campaign
manager Jeff Weaver (left) recently reiterated
what Bernie Sanders has already said
previously that yes he is in fact
considering another presidential run in
2020. So I want to talk about that but
there's something else that is really
interesting about this article in
particular with respect to how Bernie
Sanders holds up against Donald Trump in
hypothetical matchups.
So according to Alexandra Hutzler of Newsweek the
campaign manager for Bernie Sanders in
his 2016 presidential run hinted that
the independent senator from Vermont may
run for the White House again in 2020.
Sanders is considering another run for
the presidency but for now is completely
focused on his congressional reelection
campaign in November.
Jeff Weaver said in an interview with c-span host John
McArdle on Monday Sanders made waves as
the progressive who consistently
challenged a former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton in his 2016 primary bid
his platform largely focused on issues
like universal health care and income
inequality.
When Sanders announced his
candidacy for president in 2015 he was
50 points behind Clinton in almost every
major national poll but with his
popularity among young Democratic voters
he closed that gap and ended up winning
22 States and about 45% of the pledged
delegates before conceding and endorsing
Clinton at the Democratic National
Convention.
One of the reasons why he was
so successful in 2016 was that people
out in the country sensed rightly that
he was an authentic messenger for the
message he was delivering we were told
McArdle during the interview though
there are still six months until the
midterm elections America is already
looking forward to possible 2020
presidential runs new polling conducted
by CNN shows that in a one-on-one
matchup between Bernie Sanders and
Donald Trump Sanders is already a
leading candidate beating Trump by a 55
to 42 percent margin among registered
voters first though Sanders would have
to navigate a Democratic primary while
politicians have yet to officially
declare their campaigns for 2020 it is
rumor
that popular figures like senator
Elizabeth Warren and Senator Cory Booker.
Sanders is still defeating Donald Trump
in hypothetical matchups by a margin of
more than 10 points so really that lead
he has over Trump has remained
consistent since other polls were taken
in 2016, and if he could hold the same
lead in two years maybe he could leave
that same lead or hold that same lead
rather him for another two years so this
is really really exciting to me and I
think that as the 2020 Democratic Party
primary commences officially and it's
probably gonna start early next year.
We're gonna see people prove whether or
not they truly care about electability
because what was that that centrist
said to us progressives back in 2015 and
2016. Well look, you don't want to roll
the dice with a socialist like Bernie
Sanders. We want someone who's
battle-tested like Hillary Clinton who
can actually defeat a Republican and now
if they truly believe in that sentiment
they would back Bernie 100 percent in
2020 because look at that fifty five to
forty two percent if you truly want to
defeat Donald Trump if that's your
number-one goal then the Democratic
Party establishment has got to align
behind Bernie Sanders.
They've got to fall in line now the same thing they
told us now they've got to take their
own advice and fall in line behind the
individual best suited to beat Donald
Trump in 2020 because obviously Bernie
would have won at this point.
I don't
think you can really deny this if you're
a serious person because when you look
at hypothetical matchups between Bernie
Sanders and Donald Trump he has consistently
outpaced Donald Trump.
I mean he pulled outside the margin of error
unlike Hillary Clinton in most cases
Bernie Sanders is really the ticket to
defeating Donald Trump in 2020'
Donald Trump and winning, they wouldn't
do
shenanigans we don't need any type of
rigging any fuckery like we saw in 2016
otherwise they will hurt our chances.
Collectively the left and even the
center left of beating Republicans will
they do it again I'm not optimistic I'm
not because we already see what Tom
Perez is doing to basically exclude
progressives from the process. He's
purging them from the DNC and replacing
those positions with party loyalists and
hacks within the Democratic Party so I
think that the Democratic Party has got
to get its act together we need to make
sure that Tom Perez resigns before the
2020 primary, so that way we get someone
like Keith Ellison and there who would
actually be fair, I truly believe that he
would be a neutral arbiter which is all
we're asking for we don't need someone
to stack the deck in favor of or any I
think that we can win ourselves without
any help
because now Bernie Sanders has the
advantage of more name recognition and I
think that we have a real shot in 2020!
So we'll see how this all plays out it's
gonna be interesting um I think a lot of
centrist Democrats and Democratic party
loyalists are going to be backpedaling
on you know uh their need for for us to
get a really battle tested and electable
candidate and they're gonna say no you
know that's not gonna matter now so much.
We'll see what they have to say but look,
here's what it comes down to. If you
wanted to defeat Donald Trump you go
with Bernie he's the safe bet and not
only is he the safest bet but he is the
individual that would most likely
catalyze change that we desperately need
when it comes to American policy so
we'll see what happens but um I'm
certainly getting excited! Support this
