I think there are a LOT of people who are sick to death of Bernie and his rude-ass supporters who cost Clinton the election with their petulant bullshit, and I agree with OP that, even though I like how liberal Bernie is, I would be less than thrilled to see him become the candidate next election.

You’ll get shit for this but I 100% agree. He does not articulate his platform well (he can hardly talk about anything other than his stump speech) and he stayed in the race far too long and drove down enthusiasm for Clinton. He is not and has never been a Democrat and I am honestly kind of mad at the DNC for letting…

Consider this - a Franke/Duckworth ticket could be nicknamed...

We need to think about 2018 before we even consider 2020. Flip as much Blue as we can. Let no GOP run unopposed.

What irks me about Bernie is he purposefully spent his entire career spurning the Democrat label despite caucusing and voting with Democrats the overwhelming majority of the time. He purposefully marginalized himself within the Democratic Party by refusing to identify as a Democrat. But then he comes out of nowhere…

During the campaign I worked with Bernie’s immediate team. I don’t want to do it again, and rumor had it all the unpleasantness came from the top.

He better not run in 2020; he would be 78 years old! If he really cared, he would endorse or mentor a new crop of democrats. I am wondering if Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon is planning to run. Also, Elizabeth Warren in a much better choice than Bernie Sanders, if we are going with the old guard.

the person who responded to you immediately below just lost their fucking shit. like, i’m here cackling over how much of an overreaction it was.

Ugh, this isn’t Bernie kicking off a campaign for 2020, right? He’s too old?

Cheetolini is president. All balls and pussies are open to the public.

A sitcom that went through three different showrunners before the pilot episode even aired ... and the cast doesn’t read the lines in the script. And the script is stupid anyway.

So since this was at Prump’s ball, the guys in tuxes had to be Prump supporters no? Why are they hating on Chachi? Aside from the regular reasons for hating Chachi?

It looks more like a funeral.

Its like Dubya *almost* gets why people are upset.

Tell it. I was saying to my husband last night that this is going to take some steely grace on her part. I was thinking about all of the dudes I went to grad school with who are incredibly successful, well-regarded, genius grant-winners, editors and famous-ish scholars, and how not a single one of them was any better…

I feel sorry for her. She’s gorgeous, but so over-botoxed she can barely smile. She must be hella insecure, and Cheeto probably insults her regularly to keep it that way.

Melania looks like she is attending the christening of the Death Star

That’s the thing about those who actually WORK in government: they often don’t get the splashy headlines for just doing their jobs! But it involves a lot of hard slogging and homework and tireless dogged pursuit.

I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.

Grilling the nominees is just part of their job. That they are all doing a good job of it doesn’t necessarily mean they are looking at runs in 2020 (though I agree with you on Booker).
