they didn’t even bother with a pretence of a primary the second time.

    I would still vote for Bernie

    The only thing against his is his age. The negative about age is it’s effect on cognitive function. Bernie, so far as I know, isn’t showing any real signs of cognitive dysfunction.

    If there’s ANY person who could grasp the reigns of the “unitary executive theory” of the Presidency, use that authority with great authoritarian zeal to IMPROVE the system and to REMOVE the vastly expanded Executive power that has gradually crept to levels unimaginable to past generations, and then DROP the reigns of power…

    It would be Bernie Sanders.

    What could an unleashed Bernie accomplish in one term, knowing he was not running for re-election. That administration could come out swinging and never stop.

    I firmly believe that Bernie would have won against Trump all three times.

    And I’ve got a feeling his VP choice would have been a lot better than Biden’s, and a lot more effective at positioning that person to also win.
