support for Obama in 2008. If she is the nominee, why would Sanders give a speech to support her, if he is planning on primarying her or someone else in 2020?

Right now the Republicans in Congress are controlling a president. The president fell into this trap: third wayers got him to commit to chaining Social Security in 2013. Then the majority leader of the Senate, a Republican from Kentucky, stopped the process. Lesson We the People learned, a New Democrat president, could not go out and campaign for progressive Democratic candidates in 2014. And guess what? 1) Mitch McConnell won his seat back! Apparently it is easy for Republicans to lead New Democrats as they are all Center Buds. 2) Democrats lost many races and seats.

2016-Republicans can claim that they saved Social Security from third way New Democrats like Hillary and Bill Clinton, as they remember the past.
