He may be as old as the rest of them... but he's the best we have.
What Sanders needs is a successor to carry on the fight for our people.
sanders would be a great pres in 2020 to try and fix all the bumbling the pill popping rust belt segment voted for.
All this austerity is gonna bite back in a recession. Hold on to your socks!
I honestly would prefer Biden for a 2020 run, so long as his age isn't a showstopper. Not that Sanders doesn't have some good policies -- it's just that Biden strikes me as more electable due to his personality (it's warmer), his experience and his connection to Obama (which is looking increasingly positive the longer Trump goes on). If possible, maybe a Biden-Sanders ticket?
As it stands, the Democrats might win 2018 and 2020 simply by showing up. Trump has a remarkable knack for alienating even parts of his base that are supposed to be loyal (see that West Virginia thread), so there's a lot that could be up in the air even in "safe" Republican areas.
He is the most popular politician in the country by a WIDE margin. The biggest disaster in recent American history was most likely his loss to Clinton.

What austerity? Trump's policies look to explode the deficit, not reduce it. He is looking to engage in massive fiscal stimulus, just in the least effective way possible.
yeah i guess you are right. I wonder what true fiscal conservatives think of all this.
It's relatively easy to be popular when you're not actually responsible for anything.
America – and it’s not even close. Yet bizarrely, the Democratic party – out of power across the country and increasingly irrelevant – still refuses to embrace him and his message. It’s increasingly clear they do so at their own peril.
A new Fox News poll out this week shows Sanders has a +28 net favorability rating among the US population, dwarfing all other elected politicians on both ends of the political spectrum. And he’s even more popular among the vaunted “independents”, where he is at a mind boggling +41.
This poll is not just an aberration. Look at this Huffington Post chart that has tracked Sanders’ favorability rating over time, ever since he gained national prominence in 2015 when he started running for the Democratic nomination. The more people got to know him, they more they liked him – the exact opposite of what his critics said would happen when he was running against Clinton.
Yet she still won the popular vote. According to Trump, when he uses the expression "The American People," more than 50% of voters in the November election do not exist..
Clinton was basically the most popular politician in the country before she got involved in the 2016 election. Viewing popularity outside of an election as evidence of popularity in it is a bad idea.
