He’s giving it another shot.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will announce another run for president “imminently,” Yahoo News reported Friday evening. The outlet cited two unnamed sources with direct knowledge of Sanders’ plans.
The senator “was emboldened by early polls of the race that have consistently showed him as one of the top candidates in a crowded Democratic primary field,” Yahoo reported. That field already includes three of Sanders’ colleagues in the U.S. Senate.
“What [Sanders] has this time that he didn’t have last time is, he is the most popular elected official in the country right now,” a source told Yahoo News. “That’s light years away from 2016, when very few people knew who he was.”
Shannon Jackson, a senior adviser on the Friends of Bernie Sanders political committee, declined to comment on the report Friday evening.
Sanders lost the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination to Hillary Clinton. But he has established himself as one of the most popular politicians in the country. He won reelection to the U.S. Senate last November by a wide margin.

I bet Vladimir can come up with some great pictures from Bernie’s honeymoon .
He’s pathetic. He’s exactly what women and people of color do not want anymore; an old angry white man being cheered on by young angry white men. I want to see his taxes. I want to see his nastiness keep exuding as he starts getting treated like the other candidates without the cover of Vladmir Putin. His ego has taken control, and he’d simply rather fly around the country in a private jet hanging with his admirers and bro’s than actually work as a US Senator with his peers. Good lord, how many old angry delusional white men from New York City do we need. We have one too many now. Why any Vermonter thinks this is a good idea is a mystery to me. Why Bernie wants to flame out as an old freak rather than actually get some legislation attached to his name is a mystery to me. Kamala! Julian! Kirsten! Booker! Beto! and on and on.
“Bernie does bring out their true colors.”
Bernie has shown his own true colors. He’s switched from ranting against millionaires to ranting against billionaires because he’s successfully used the US political system to become a millionaire himself.
It is difficult to tell the difference between the Right Winger Trump Chumps posting on here and the still bitter, Wall Street loving Hillary Harpies. Both are war mongers and corporatists. Both despise the poor and enjoy exploiting them
Bernie does bring out their true colors.
I wonder if he will pay the $400K he stiffed law enforcement across the country before he stiffs them again. Nice to be a “man of the people.”
“Bernie is one of the best politicians and the one the United States needs as it’s next president.”
Oh, great. Here come the brainwashed “Bernie Bro” zombies all over again.
