He has a good physical background as an athlete in youth; he is quite robust and may crack the high hard ceiling of agism. With his 14-5 horoscope score, he might be a good challenger to Trump's 8-4 score. It would be a very close election since the new moon before election favors the incumbent, and Republicans win the electoral vote if they win the popular vote. I know my prediction might fail, and I would be biased in favor of Bernie, so Galen calls it crap. But in fact, no prediction about human events can always work. Human behavior is not mechanistic, as Galen and other silly materialists like him think. So astrology can't be always right, and it hasn't been studied by smart people until recently, so it's really a new field, despite its ancient traditions.
The patterns I mention are not just arbitary rules; they were based on patterns with a long consistent history. But they are nowhere near as regular as physical patterns, like predicting the astronomical events which astrology is based on. As Obama said, his prediction was right that the Sun would rise on Nov.9. But predicting human behavior is another thing entirely. And good astrologers have a better record than pundits do. You know all the things I have predicted over the years; the bigger things I got right. I always had some trouble with elections though, until recently.
But, old as he is, Bernie does well on my horoscope point system. Trump is mediocre, compared to modern presidents, but his score was higher than almost all of his creepy Republican opponents and the Democratic nominee too. I don't think I would be able now to honestly predict based solely on astrology who would win in 2020, if Bernie and Donald are the candidates. The signs would conflict, as they did in 2016. I would have to discover other patterns, or test out others that were suggested to me by other astrologers who predicted Trump would win.
-- l have to agree, Bernie is in good health, & medicene has been increasing life expectancy into the 90s & even the triple digits. So even @ age 79, if his health remains good another presidential run isn't out of the question, esp if the political climate is similar to what it is today, making him still relevant. Besides, it'll be "his turn"
Astrology is not exact, there's a reason it's called the Art of Astrology. But #s don't lie. You yourself said no candidate with her shitty #s ever got elected. hell she would never have made it thru the primaries if the DNC hadn't been rigging it. Stick with your #s next time around
What I said was that both candidates has more shitty numbers than any candidate since Herbert Hoover, and Trump had better numbers, but Taft did get elected in 1908 with only slightly better numbers than Hillary, so it was possible for her to win, and she narrowly missed. And the rigging was a myth that didn't happen. And believing that myth has cost us dearly indeed. Other Democrats, whether Establishment or voters, simply didn't know Bernie well enough or were scared that he was a socialist. They thought a more moderate candidate than Bernie had a better chance in right-wing Amerikkka. They had a point.
But I agree, it's his turn, and if he runs, then the nonsense about him being too far left has to be knocked out of the way completely and utterly. If we can elect a blatant racist and woman-hater and bully and unrepentant corporate trickle-downer and warrior on our environment as our president, then he needs to face someone who takes no prisoners from the other side.
The Democratic Party Establishment will have to eat crow for nominating yet another Democratic candidate who has such poor persuasion skills. Bernie is a leader, and Obama is a leader, and her husband is a leader too; she is not. We have to get serious and support the right policies, with no compromise this time. If he's up to it, then it will be our job to nominate someone with cajones and authenticity who can stand up to the bully, and be a real leader who can draw as big a crowd as the Liar in Chief and inspire them. That's Bernie Sanders. It's time to strike back unrelentingly with everything we got. Fight to the death if necessary.
If Bernie can't make it, then we'll have to settle for Liz, and probably lose. Or another Clinton clone like the current governor of Virginia, who has better numbers. But win or lose, we have to fight. It will bear fruit in the long, long run, if we as humans are destined to evolve and not die off. We'll see.
