Phil Lewis: Bernie Sanders set to seek reelection this fall

Bernie Sanders set to seek reelection this fall

Bernie Sanders set to seek reelection this fallwww.politico.com The Vermont Independent, 82, is seeking a fourth term while at the peak of his power in Congress.

I hope nobody tries to compare this mess with Biden. If Biden can’t complete his four year term, Kamala Harris is his successor. If Sanders can’t complete his SIX YEAR term, he will be replaced by the VT governor, who is currently a Republican. So, what is this man doing?

He's not primarying Joe Biden for President, he's running for reelection to his Senate seat.

This response doesn’t have anything to do with my post. But, okay.

Yeah, looks like I misunderstood you. My bad!

👍🏾

The Governor of Vermont Phil Scott, who would probably be a Democrat in any other state, has pledged to appoint a Democrat for Sanders' seat if that seat is vacant. Take that as you like www.sevendaysvt.com/OffMessage/a...

Exactly! I'll take the experienced SF DA, CA AG, US Sen all day long

I think Sanders has done enough to help Democrats. they can handle this one on their own

Do the Democrats run someone against him ever?

How does that make sense? Why on earth would Democrats waste limited resources fighting Bernie Sanders in a Democratic primary, let alone the general?

Because then they could get an actual Democrat in the seat. But those post offices aren’t going to rename themselves. I admit I just want to see him lose.

You raise an interesting question. I don't know enough about VT fed elections, but given that Barry's not a dem, wouldn't that make the primary wide open?

What in particular don’t you like? My Bernie knowledge is really superficial. I liked some of what he said back in the 2016 primary but that’s all I know. I was overseas at the time, so not much US news.

lol. thought it was "blue no matter who" with you guys

no. they are welcome to

From your lips to god’s ears.

he should be running for reelection as president and then no one would have to worry about Trump. No thanks to Obama, Clyburn, Warren, Buttigieg, Harris, Beto, or Klobuchar.

There we go. I was waiting on the take that age only matters to people not named Bernie Sanders, the Independent Senator from Vermont who was robbed of the nomination in 2016 and 2020.

The world ended in 2016 and we’re merely living in a deteriorating timeloop

Them: “81 is too old. Biden should step aside.” Also them: “At 82 Bernie is just getting started. I hope he runs forever.”

It's called he isn't visually disoriented like half the time and we've seen him awake past 7

You: Bernie is too old at 82, why wouldn't he step aside!?! Also you: OMG Nancy Pelosi, a master legislator, look at her running again at 84, BRAVA!!!

Pelosi defends lawmaker stock trades, citing 'free market'apnews.com House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is defending lawmakers' right to trade stocks. The practice has come under scrutiny because it offers members of Congress the potential to profit off of insider information ...

Ah yes. The Ruth Bader Ginsburg approach. That worked so well.

peak of his power, huh, what, did he take part in naming two post offices this year?

Whhhhhyyyyy

The only good boomer in Congress.

He pre-dates the Boomers.

Thats fine. He's one of the few politicians that gets pissed about issues and I appreciate that.

Same. Plus it means there are officially no good Boomers in Congress lol

Ah, shit. What an unexpected plot twist. 😂😂

But a good one, at that. 😂

Love him, but he deserves rest.

He's too old.

This generation refuses to let go

No no no - why can't the elderly self regulate. Sure he's reasonably healthy - but that doesn't mean 6 more years of it -NOR should the state and party pin their hopes on his next 6 years.

Every senator is at the peak of their power when they leave. Congress is not a meritocracy.

GTFO! ❤️😲💞

no wonder he suddenly went against Israel the moment the polls came through

Bernie adamantly opposes term limits, even going so far as to call the term limits “undemocratic.”

Term limits for elected officials are undemocratic. Plenty of other Western Countries don't have them. Term limits for appointed officials are a whole different story.

We don't have term limits in Canada and we're not a gerontocracy.
