Democraps really don't have many legit candidates. Some think Bernie would have had a chance in '16, but I don't buy that. He'd have gotten slaughtered, lol
He's unpolished, HL73. He's goofy and not a great speaker.
That said, what he's done in CO is remarkable. He appeals to the business side of the electorate (R), in the meantime legalizing the weed and brewing the beer (D).
>>>Dems need to put up someone the Bernie folks can get excited about. I don't know if that person exists though
They need a celebrity. Trump wouldn't have won if it weren't for that stupid tv show. How about Kim Kardassian? She probably has about the same IQ as the typical democratic voter, lol
Tom Hanks, if it's "necessary" to stay on this road
What would be so terrible about getting away from popularism and simply "plucking" the most qualified candidate from obscurity who is blind to the process?
BERNIE'S BUILDING STRENGTH DOWN SOUTH: From Gregory Krieg -- Our Revolution, the Bernie Sanders-backed political organization, scored another win this week with the election of Randall Woodfin in the Birmingham, Alabama, mayoral race. Like Chokwe Antar Lumumba, the new mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, Woodfin is young, black and ran a progressive campaign bolstered by endorsements from Our Revolution and aligned groups, like the Working Families Party. In Georgia, Sanders is supporting state Sen. Vincent Fort in his run for mayor of Atlanta (election coming this November; likely runoff in December) and has an ally in khalid kamau, who was elected to the South Fulton, Georgia, City Council back in April.
The upshot: Sanders is quietly building a base of support among (young, dynamic and unabashedly left) elected officials in states he lost badly back in 2016. Not only that: Our Revolution is continuing to spread its roots -- and presumably growing that vaunted email list -- in places Sanders will need to compete if he runs again.
WARREN AND THE PROGRESSIVE TAKEOVER: Remember Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's big Netroots Nation speech? And our story on her increased focus on cultural issuesand outreach to black leaders? The Cook Political Report's Amy Walter parses new Pew data and finds Warren was onto something. She writes that "a Democrat who wants to win the 2020 nomination has to speak as forcefully on structural racism as they do on economic inequality. The base is passionate -- and unified -- about both."
ANOTHER POL GETS A PODCAST: Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is using his voice in a new venture, launching a podcast called "Canarycast," a reference to the pin of a canary the senator wears on his suit lapel rather than the official Senate pin. "On this podcast, we are going to talk about what we can do to make hard work pay off once again," said Brown.
He isn't the only politician embracing a new role as podcast host these days. "The Bernie Sanders Show" is a weekly podcast released by the independent senator from Vermont and Rep. Keith Ellison, who also serves as deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, hosts "We the Podcast." Joe Biden has one too, the daily "Biden's Briefing," which premiered last month.

ps, if Bernie wants the Democratic nomination, how come he refuses to join the Democratic party?
