The fact Bernie hasn’t been able to enact more of his vision as a Senator doesn’t say so much about him as it says about the Senate. It’s why he needs the power of the presidency; it will give him the authority to actualize possibilities he and so many of us long for.

Are you OK with Squad controlling DoD and other key departments. Also, are you OK with Linda Sarsour as Secretary of State?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because Senators represent their constituents and we don't want your Marxit Communist government or policies. Our Senators are representing what WE want!

Marianne I think you know better than to think the presidency is some kind of magical authoritarian wand waving position. The Senate (and house) will be needed just as much as ever. Maybe he'll be able to effect what's politically expedient but not much else.

@BernieSanders is the go to guy if I need a new post office named. Otherwise he is a totally ineffective demagogue. Are you saying he needs dictatorial powers?
Replying to @marwilliamson
What it says is this is the reason we have a Senate. So one person can't take us over a cliff.

It says clearly that he is a fringe player who does not get along with others. Useless actually.

His vision as a senator entailed naming post offices. Bernie has made his living pushing an agenda that no one is stupid enough to buy until recently. Nothing is ever truly free. Its paid for by others. You should know that. You want Bernie changes hop on down to Venezuela.

#Bernie about 2nd place finish in #SouthCarolinaPrimary: "You cannot win 'em all." #SCprimary2020 Amazing to see a real leader’s reaction to adversity... if he wins he says Keep Fighting, if he gets hit he says Keep Fight 🔥 #Bernie2020 #BernieBeatsTrump
