1. I guess we'll never know.

But personally, I categorically believe we would not be in this current predicament had he been our nominee.

I like Hillary; I voted for her in the general, and, hey, even lit a candle for her. But what we needed this year was a nominee with a true fire in his soul, not merely a competent one.

2. Obviously, we'll never know what might have been, but, something about Bernie stirs the soul & energizes voters like no other candidate...

In 4 short years, perhaps, this true progressive champion may get the shot he so richly deserves to unseat that Nazi pig tRump. In the meantime, expect Bernie to lead the fight against that a-hole... and let's unite in supporting him in that effort!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!

5. So, were you there telling Hillary "no more" this time around after her disasterous loss to Obama in '08?! Somehow, I highly doubt it...

No, there IS more....and, like Hillary, now it's Bernie's turn to get another shot.

Most fair-minded people will acknowledge Hillary had a right to run again for President after her losing effort against Obama, even despite the unwarranted harsh words she had for him... so let's be fair to Bernie should he decide to give it another go. Okay?!

8. Ageism is NOT the answer... although we certainly need to be open to the possibility of new blood stepping up to carry on Bernie's progressive legacy.

Then again, there's nothing like The Original... Bernie still has a lot of "tread" left on the tires.
