Hillary had the same.

Exactly, which is why Bernie is the only viable option.

Come on, I get the media is trying to hurt Bernie because he is not an Obama/Clinton democrat, but can’t you guys rally around him for 2020 already?

Bernie is dumb. He should stay where he is and that's in the Senate. Bernie isn't a decent choice, he's a desperate choice!

Why????

Who is better, they all use identity politics to distract from the issues except for Bernie.

Yeah but Hillary is a completely different animal compared to Michelle Obama. I would find a Michelle Obama run a nice thing to see, she'd be one of few democrats I could stand listening to. But part of her charm is to be politically unpolitical of some sort, which is great for a first lady, or holding a rally, but I don't think she'd do well in debates or run an overall good presidential campaign...
I could see her in a cabinet though.

It's kinda sad though that the qualities one might want in a president are not necessarily conducive with running a presidential campaign.
I'd like to see Rand Paul for president among republicans for example, but honestly he sucks at campaigning.

A suggestion from far out left field; Joe Rogan for president. Sure his main gig is being a comedian, but listening to his podcast he is a very reasonable guy on most topics. The hard part for him would be religious people, because he's made fun of religion so many times and he doesn't thread lightly about it.

He's not a Democrat.

My daughters (Millennial and Gen X) and I (oldest Boomer) voted for Bernie in Primary. When he lost Primary to Hillary, we voted her only because she wasn't TRUMP. We knew that sitting home or voting for Third Party would only be a indirect vote for Trump. You would be surprised how many of the younger generation supported Sanders. There was a lot of disgruntled Democratic voters who were blasted for not supporting Hillary when Sanders lost. Well, now you got the worst of the worst in TRUMP.

Personally, as a Senior Democrat I think both Hillary and Bernie's time has come and gone. It is now time for some young blood to take over their reins. Why do you think Obama won twice? It cannot be some tired old worn out old coot. Elderly Me says that. You can add TRUMP to that mix as well from the other side of the aisle.

Twilight socialist? Love it and spot on. If I had a choice between Sanders and his socialist agenda and Eric Swalwell? It would be Swalwell. (AKA Dreamy McDreamy.) He might beat out Hottie Avenatti for me. Both are in their 40's, attorneys, and in their prime. It's time for the old people to ride in the back seat.
