Reports today say that Bernie Sanders is imminently getting into the race for 2020. This is big news.
Bernie came close to beating Hillary Clinton in 2016 for the nomination and might have actually won it but for the fact that the DNC worked with Clinton to rig the process to favor her. In fairness, it's not really clear that the votes Bernie got were due to him or his views. A big chunk of Bernie's voters probably were voting against the ever-despicable Hillary Clinton.
So how will Bernie do in 2016? My prediction is that he will fare much like Rick Santorum did in his second attempt to win the GOP nomination. Remember, Santorum came in second in 2012 behind Romney for the GOP nod. When he ran again in 2016, he failed quickly and ran way behind the new candidates among the GOP contenders. He was "yesterday's news" and I think that the same fate awaits Bernie.
If you think about it, Bernie was too old to run last time. This time, he is getting to look more and more like a cadaver than a presidential candidate.
In any event, Bernie is going to give it a try. Here's a picture his campaign has released in the promos to get people to tune in for his announcement:
