RUN BERNIE RUN!
Former Bernie Sanders Staffers Are Preparing to 'Draft Bernie' for 2020
BURLINGTON, VERMONT — Get ready to feel the Bern again. A movement to draft Bernie Sanders to run for president in 2020 is launching today, with the aim of building an organizational structure so the Vermont Senator can start campaigning at a moment’s notice.
“We have two goals,” Rich Pelletier, one of the four main organizers of Organizing For Bernie, tells Rolling Stone. “One, we want to show the support is there. The second is to begin to do the organizing that is going to need to happen for him to hit the ground running, by the time he announces"
The news comes on the heels of a three-day retreat for progressive leaders called “The Gathering” at the Sanders Institute in Burlington, Vermont. Hosted by Jane Sanders and attended by the likes of Dr. Cornel West, Nina Turner and Bernie Sanders himself, “The Gathering” felt a lot like a kitchen-cabinet strategy session, both for the progressive movement generally, and for a potential Sanders run. The weekend included the unveiling of a new plan by University of Massachusetts economist Robert Pollin to cost out a Medicare-for-All proposal.

</strike>[/SUP][/SUB]The great Democratic hope would be 78 years old if sworn in. He might have beaten Hillary IF the DNC didn't play dirty tricks saying he was Jewish any chance they got in an attempt to fuel their racist Anti-Semitism base to advance Hillary Clinton as if she was waiting for a coronation day. Shame on them, and their former chair woman.<strike></strike>
