    There are key Democratic constituencies that are probably never going to support #Sanders. NBCNews found that the younger voters that he counts on did not show up on Super Tuesday, just as they failed to show on election day 2016.

    Which is all to say that I'm not sure that victory is assured any better with Bernie Sanders as the nominee than it is with Joe #Biden as their pick.

    "he has focusing and maybe memory issues."

    I would not be surprised if both of them have said issues. Their ages are pretty advanced. I just figured the Declaration of Independence thing was him trying not to offend atheists and anti-religious folks.

    "a repeat of 2016, everybody vs Bernie"

    I'm sure the Democratic establishment and party hierarchy is very much in favor of #Biden and not #Sanders, but I hope they learned from the results of their interference last time. "Blame it on the Russians" only carries one so far before everyone can see that they screwed themselves again.

    I (intentionally) have not heard either one. With #Yang's exit from #Election_2020 campaigning, I suppose it is time to read up on #Buttigieg now. (Andrew Yang was supposed to be the next research subject. So far, I've looked at Joe #Biden and Bernie #Sanders.)

    So I haven't really looked at many #Democratic candidates. I thought the 2016 result was mostly caused by the unique dislike that their nominee #Hillary Rodham #Clinton had created since the days when her husband was Governor of #Arkansas. Her seeming belief that she alone is immune from complying with any legal requirements--the thing behind "crooked Hillary"--and her naked lust for power just turned people off.

    We need to stop pretending that #Russia did this to us. The #DNC did this by preselecting #HRC and scaring away any candidates who could win. If you've seen #Facebook and #Twitter, you know that political posts and ads on these sites don't change people's political beliefs. They just cause people to flock to the post to argue and name-call in the comments.

    I do see people saying that X candidate would lose to Donald #Trump, but that's hard to say.

    Bernard "Bernie" #Sanders _is_ too far left for many Americans. Elizabeth #Warren is a little bit closer to the center, but she and Sanders are both offensive to many people that I talk to. And like the article ( https://n5.federati.net/url/1341 ) mentions, people who've already paid for their college and loans are mostly not going to be in favor of totally free tuition. That still does not mean that either of them could not beat Trump. I just can't tell.

    Joseph #Biden? I don't know. I don't think people dislike him, I just don't think anyone is really enthusiastic about him. He's creepy like a school janitor who always decides to clean the restroom when your 8 year old daughter is in there. The evidence that he caused the firing of a prosecutor in the early stages of a corruption investigation (together with a timeline of the various ways that his sons and brother benefitted from his positions) _will_ be problematic in the same way that HRC's belief that she didn't have to meet the same standards everyone else does. (I know that as a federal employee, if this series of "coincidental" enrichments due to my position benefitted my family, I'd be in prison by now.)

    The others? The little that I know of Andrew #Yang, I like. But so far, he's barely even been noticed in the crowd of tweedledees and tweedledums. And that's a good description of how most of the candidates are perceived: Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

    Comparing the expected economic impact of #Sanders' MediCare for All plan, depending on the funding method chosen. (Nowhere in here is it mentioned that MC already is growing a huge funding hole. MedicAid [MA] is a better place to build upon, IMO, because we already know we have to pay for it. MC has a "fund" of previous tax contributions by US workers that people expect to always be there ... efforts to raise funds for MC will run into the "I've already paid into it for X years, why are you suddenly taxing me more?" problem.)

    There are also small blurbs about health care plans by #Warren, #Biden, and #Buttigieg

    So I did a little bit of online reading about #Bernie #Sanders ... I now think he's destined to be a Millard Fillmore level failure if elected.

    1. He seems to have been singularly unsuccessful in working with Congress (while a member thereof) to enact his agenda.

    2. His views are extreme by US standards, so even if 100% of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives were Democrats (very unlikely), most of his proposals would not pass.

    3. He's very vulnerable to "how are you going to pay for free everything for everybody?" type questions, because even at 50% income tax and no deductions, it would have to extend down into the middle income brackets to raise enough.

    I'm not really sure that what someone believed 48 years ago is still relevant if they don't appear to still believe it. I'd be willing to guess that me in 1972 and me in 2020 have widely diverging views on almost any issue.

    Still, the article is correct in assuming that--should Bernie #Sanders become the #Democratic_Party's nominee--he will face questions about his past which have not been asked in the campaign so far.
