OK, will run parallels

We are told that Obama was considered unelectable (really? did not know); that Trump was considered unelectable hence Sanders will.

OK.

Now what happened after two years? In 2010 Obama lost the House, in 2018 Trump did, too. In both cases over healthcare and if Sanders is elected, see the same in 2022.

And are not worth more than a casual 'huh ... interesting ...' in the grand scheme.

Every election is different, the people running are different, economy is different, mood of country is different ...
