Also, I guess we can safely retire the talking point of Saint Bernie being The Most Popular Politician in America.

Bernie's 2016 policies are adopted by every Dem candidate except Biden, so whether you want him or not, you're getting Bernie in 2020.

My point is that when an incumbent runs for reelection, the election is a referendum on him and his record. That's why he always gets a percentage of the vote that more or less equals his approval rating.
The challenger's credentials, ideology, personality, etc., play a minor role, as long as he/she isn't Roy Moore-like radioactive.

You say the darndest things.
That wasn't true in 2004 or in 2012.

Why should we believe it'll hold true in 2020?
