In reply to the discussion: Should Bernie or Hillary run for president again? [View all]ucrdem
(15,720 posts)34. Hillary, Kerry, or Biden would have a good chance.
If any are willing I don't see why they shouldn't. Sanders should absolutely not be permitted to get anywhere near the DNC. If he wants to run he can run as an Independent which is basically what he ran as last time. The bizarre branding arrangement was catastrophic and whatever means necessary to disallow it should be put in place forthwith.
p.s. Booker or Harris as VP would give them national exposure and a platform to launch from in 2020 whether the ticket wins or not, but I think the odds are at least even that it would.
