This is why I keep saying the Dems will blow it in 2020 and we will get 4 more years of the Great Pumpkin.

Sanders is not going to get any traction in this bid.
The person you want to watch is Sherrod Brown. This is a man who unseated Republican Mike Dewine for Senate. He has a wide base, including Republicans, and Brown would easily take Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which would leave Trump sitting at home.

I'm an ultra-conservative, but registered as a Democrat so I can vote in the primaries, but I would have voted for Sanders, too, for the same reason.
