Uh, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are better bets.

- Bernie would of made it in 2016 if he hadn't been cheated. Will they screw him over in 2020 as well? Maybe Uncle Joe. The DNC will probably feel they owe it 2 him

I don't know.  Bernie had, and still has, an inspiring message.  What he lacks is the intrinsic connectiveness that links together coalitions.  He may well have defeated DJT in 2016, since anyone was likely to be better than Hillary.  Where I'm less certain is the results that would have been achieved by his win.

I see him more in the vein of a Benjamin Franklin -- bellwether to the end.

-- true. I once suggested Bernie could be a Grey Champion but others here quashed that idea once it was obvious he had been screwed out of the nomination, stating that if he was the GC he would of won despite all the cheating. But Benjamin Franklin was never Prez. GCs don't have 2 be Prez. Just somebody with an inspiring msg, a vision & plan 4 the next 1T
