Isn't he super old? If elected for two terms he could be stepping down at 87!
Make way for some young blood, please!

Why would, he finally got a taste of real power and he won't let go. His platform is just a stepping stone for him.
I like Bernie but I think it's fair to have a legitimate concern about a candidate being nearly 80 when stepping into his first term in office.
He's too old, but Sanders political manifesto was easily the best for America. Which is why it would never work as there is too much resistance to socialised healthcare, let alone socialised anything in the land of the rich and free.
Yeah I don't see this doing anything to solve the Democrat's biggest issue of too many chefs in the kitchen. It's not like he can actually beat Trump, either, so what's the point besides making it harder for someone who could?
Wait, how is this going to lead to Trump? Ya'll do know the left not voting for liberal candidates isn't backed up by data. Where as the reality is that liberal voters are much less likely to vote for leftist candidates.
Seeing the disaster Corbyn turned out to be for Labour, I am sure that Bernie would award Trump a 2nd term
It's not just that, the man himself is nowhere near capable of getting anything done because he's got a rocky history with working with people. Democrats, in particular, which is weird considering he's supposed to be one of best allies in congress. He's better off retiring or staying in the Senate then advise AOC when she runs for president.
I support the majority of his policies and stand by my belief that he would have won against Trump in 2016, but I'm not so sure this is a good idea. The Hillary camp's "Bernie Bro" narrative has stuck around and many people still blame him for Hillary losing and claim he's a Russian plant. I don't really like any of the other candidates that have announced their candidacy as much though.
My bad. I just secretly wanted to push for my plans to turn the world into a Marxist utopia through relatively moderate pro capitalist social democratic candidates.
As much as I wanted sanders to win during 2016, It's just way to late for him at this point, I'd prefer if someone younger with a similar platform & his endorsement would run in his place.
What polls are you referring to? There's enough resistance in the damn Democrat party before it even goes to the people anyway

If you're speaking about Bernie popularity in any way, as I said, he's still too old. You do not bring in a President at 79.
god dammnit... can anyone put into words ow bad this is for a potential democrat beating Trump? Or somehow good, even negligible? I can't help but feel he doesn't have a chance at winning and will only take votes from someone who does... but I hope I'm wrong
The polls that say a majority of Americans are open to Medicare for all.
