Description

Bernie Sanders wasn't supposed to be a problem. After nominating Hillary Clinton as their candidate in 2016, the DNC made serious changes to their process in an effort to appease Sanders and get him to support Clinton in the general election. Believing Hillary would win and that Sanders would be too to old the next time the Democrat presidential field was open again, the DNC happily made the deal.  Then it all fell apart. Trump won and Sanders is back and stronger than ever.  He is leading the pack in the 2020 Democrat primary and looks poised to win the nomination outright or cause a contested convention. As if that wasn't enough, there is new evidence that shows that even the Russians are trying to get Sanders elected. Biden is faltering, Bloomberg stumbled in his first debate and none of the candidates seem likely to defeat an incumbent president who is enjoying a booming economy and his highest approval ratings to date. Whatever your politics, we can all agree, it ain't easy being a Democrat these days.
