Democrats divide on Bernie's 2020 plans

[Nanjeanne]

55. So this is what I get from this article . . .

Markos Moulitsas and Donna Brazile don't want the Democratic Party to listen too much to Bernie. Since I don't listen to Markos or Brazile - as a Democrat - that thrills me.

Allies of Sanders want him to run in 2020 and are upset that he hasn't declared.

I like Bernie and supported him in the primary but I don't want him to run in 2020 so I'm still hoping I can find a Democrat who is younger, charismatic person with policies similar to Bernie's to support.

I'm thrilled he is out there talking about issues that matter. The support for Medicare for All has increased tremendously because of Bernie and others speaking about it. Whether it happens completely, slowly or through a public option first -- It only helps to change the way people are viewing the ACA and the good it does as well as what it needs to become in order to actually be affordable. And it helps show the callous disregard the Republicans have for us.

I can't wait to watch the CNN Debate with John Kasich about healthcare. I think it's an important outreach.

I'm thrilled that he gets press and attention - and that it helps focus on things he is pushing for in the Senate. I love that he and Rep Marcy Kaptur from Ohio introduced legislation to protect the pensions of up to 10 million workers and retirees. The Keep Our Pension Promises Act would reverse a provision passed in 2014 that could result in deep pension cuts for millions of retirees and workers in multi-employer pension plans.

I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to get from that article but it's no surprise to me that people like Brazile and Moulitsas aren't supporters of Sanders. And I'm fine with that!
