It's not like I don't think Bernie can win....

[OAITW r.2.0]

it's more like I don't see how he governs,

[AlexSFCA]

1. an experienced senator with decades of government experience?

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Yeah, Bernie is going to have a whole bunch of Bro's in the House and Senate, LOL!

Both Republican and Democrat!

[msongs]

5. with practically nothing to show for it. well he now owns 3 houses and few million dollars nt

[HarlanPepper]

9. The president has to do more than name post offices.

A Democratic President will have to work with Joe Manchin etc.

[ehrnst]

7. Who said that? Not the OP...

. .more for the rich, screw over minorities, cheat, lie, and fuck everyone not a WASP.

Easy there, Sport.

Flogging away at that straw man will get you no credibility.



Welcome to DU.

4. Sanders would be a fine President

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. Yes, he might. But the questions are......

how does the rest of the Party deal with Bernie's label on each district that is in play? I don't know, but the entrails tell me-

We sacrifice the House and make no progress in the Senate.

How are you going to feel, then? Knowing that we have a 4 year Bernie Sanders Presidency with no possible route to get a single part of his agenda implemented?

The worst of all worlds, I think.

6. I don't think he can win. At all.

[HarlanPepper]

8. It's both

But if he does win and it’s a mess he’ll get primaried, like when Bernie wanted America’s first black president thrown out on purity grounds.

[Prosper]

10. I think better red than dead still lingers. 50 years of stagnant wages

and an economic system based on winner takes all. Capitalism died when money became a score keeping method more than a means to promote the trading in goods and services.

[DanieRains]

11. A President Who Fights For The Poor

As hard as Republicans fight for the rich.

OK by me.

[thesquanderer]

12. He'd govern a whole lot better than Trump does. n/t

[Autumn]

13. He governs just like any other Democratic president does. But where one will say,

"The bill I sign must contain a public option" once or twice and moves on Bernie will keep pushing for our issues.

14. Release your damn medical records, Bernie. What are you hiding?

I'd like to know if you can't complete your presidency, you have picked a vp who can run the country.
