For what it's worth, I do think Bernie has the best chance in 2020 amongst the GOD AWFUL Democratic field. He has the most fervent base of supporters. Guys like Bloomberg (who doesn't even have any delegates) and Biden don't inspire anybody and will just piss off the Bernie supporters who will feel their man was cheated by the Democratic establishment again (which may be true and probably would be if Bloomberg somehow gets it). However, I am just not sure socialism is a winning platform and I don't see one Democratic candidate that is worth anything or one who will match Trump's ability to excite his base
