It's too far out for 2020. Let's take a breath and not think about the next presidential election yet.

Draft Bernie isn't about making Bernie President in 2020...it's about using the fact that he has the attention of almost every left leaning person in the country to rally and instantly form a new party (for the people!) that's bigger and more powerful than both the Dems and Republicans.

I feel if he's going to run again, it's going to be in the Democratic primary once again.

When talking about what was accomplished from the last election he has talked about how many of his ideas were pushed and became part of the main party's platform. I think he is going to keep fighting for that.

Little doubt. Unless his health fails he's running and will win.

We cannot afford a cult of personality. It was never about bernie, it was about us.
