Bernie sanders announced yesterday that he would be running for the 2020 presidency. In a statement he made, he claimed that he would "Beat him" in the 2020 race. Bernie, of course referring to President Trump, has policies on the complete opposite spectrum including economic freedom, religious freedom, and immigration. After a failed 2016 run Bernie hopes that his socialist values and policies will resonate with the younger crowd, which was the source for most of his success in the prior campaign. Bernie, who is now 77 years old, will likely only be running this last time as he has faced health issues in his recent past. Democrats generally disagree with most of Bernie's ideas, he does have a slight chance at giving Trump a run for his money in 2020. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, his younger advisory and New York congresswomen, will likely be soon up to take Bernie's place for the 3rd party contender in the coming election.
Do you think Bernie Sanders has a chance at winning the 2020 election?
Do you think he is too old to run?
Do you agree with any of Bernie's policies?

I think that Bernie Sanders has a legitimate shot at winning the election. He is the second most popular democrat (behind Joe Biden), and many of the younger generations believe in his policies. He has already gained 6 million dollars from 250,000 donors across America. People want change, and Bernie is a man of the people, supporting things like free public university tuition and healthcare. Given that he can run a good campaign, I think he has a legitimate shot at winning the presidency in 2020. #feelthebern
ReplyDeleteI agree with Noah that Bernie Sanders does have a shot at winning the election in 2020. However, although many more Democrats have come to support his positions and policy proposals, he is still seen as a bit "out there" by some. It's going to be hard for him to gain Republican support with his policies leaning so far to the left. He is also not seen as a legitimate Democrat by many, as he isn't an officially registered Democrat in his home state of Vermont, and many sites label him as an independent. This could hurt his chances for election in 2020.
