Bernie is great, and he has some charisma. But I differ with point 13 as brower stated it. "13. We have no idea who the Democratic nominee will be." The horoscope scores and the status levels of the announced candidates are definitive that none of them can beat Trump except Biden and Bernie, and those two are a crap shoot too. The scores also indicate that Bernie and Biden are not more charismatic than Trump. I like Bernie's ability to articulate issues and to come across as honest, courageous and thoughtful as a potential president. That would be a welcome alternative to Trump for potentially a majority of the voters, despite his left-wing views and his "socialism" with which Trump will hammer him.
But Trump cannot be under-estimated. That is a point that you and brower don't seem willing to concede. He is a talented speaker, and appeals to a base that's potentially big enough to win in our rigged system, as he did before-- against an admittedly somewhat-weaker general election candidate than Bernie OR Biden would be. The astrology indicators and the keys alike may give Trump the advantage again though, as much of a crying shame it would be if he is re-elected. Never overestimate the intelligence of Americans, especially since they include the folks in Dixie and much of flyover country. They returned Dubya to office after he started an unnecessary war that killed 400,000 people.
If Trump is re-elected though, I don't give him long to survive in office. His ego and hubris would go wild and likely make himself impeachable and convictable quite early. The Democrats need to make gains in some senate races, at least in Iowa, Colorado and Arizona, in order for this to happen, and perhaps, if Roy Moore runs again, keeping the Alabama seat. This is also needed to defeat future Trump/Pence Supreme Court nominees.
