An insurgent underdog no more, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is laying the groundwork to launch a bigger presidential campaign than his first, as advisers predict he would open the 2020 Democratic presidential primary season as a political powerhouse.
A final decision has not been made, but those closest to the 77-year-old self-described democratic socialist suggest that neither age nor interest from a glut of progressive presidential prospects would dissuade him from undertaking a second shot at the presidency.
And as Sanders' brain trust gathered for a retreat in Vermont over the weekend, some spoke openly about a 2020 White House bid as if it was almost a foregone conclusion.
'This time, he starts off as a front-runner, or one of the front-runners,' Sanders' 2016 campaign manager Jeff Weaver told The Associated Press, highlighting the senator's proven ability to generate massive fundraising through small-dollar donations and his ready-made network of staff and volunteers.

Not only that, but expert anal-ist bruce springstream said he doesn’t see any dem can’tidate that can beat Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez is still too young to run. She may well be a future president.
In the meantime, Kamala Harris may be that minority female who exudes diversity that the liberals oresch about.

I wonder what the combined mass of all the brains in the “Sanders’ brain trust” weighs in at, measured in yoctograms.
I wonder if it’s as high as a hundred yoctograms.
I don't think Bernie makes the cut, top or bottom.
Sniper shot from 2 miles out - Cuomo/Harris.
The dem primaries are going to be interesting next time around. Bernie will get the lefty-leftists, but the media will prop up someone like Beto, particularly if they are convinced that he is more likely to beat Trump than Sanders. Also, don’t forget that if Sharod Brown runs, he will split off the populist/rust belt moderates further clouding up the waters.
In the meantime, Kamala Harris may be that minority female who exudes diversity that the liberals oresch about.

Yeah, and all the personality of a corpse.
I’m your Uncle Bernie
And I’ll welcome you to Tommy’s Holiday Camp
The camp with the difference
Never mind the weather
When you come to Bernie’s
The holiday’s forever

Martha's Vineyard for a "summer cottage"?
I was in Vermont just last week...lots and lots of Volvos and Subarus with “Bernie” bumper stickers.
Bernie became a D to run against Hilldog, then switched from D to I within milliseconds of getting his pay off to get out of Dodge after the primaries.
POS leftists hate old white men unless they give away free sh*t like government clause.
Yes, it’s pretty special when a white old Commie can’t win because of the diversity that they so love!
Ooohhh - let it be so.....
BITE your tongue. Then drop and do 50 push ups.
So, a 79 YO white guy, communist wanna-be. That’s the best option on the left, huh?
Go for it, lefties! Go for it!
