What are the chances that Bernie Sanders runs in 2020?

[emcee0]

It kills me that he is as old as he is, because if he were 69 instead of 79 he could have been the democratic Reagan/the modern FDR.

[BuckeyeNut]

One-tenth of 1%.

[Chief Justice Keef]

I give it a 20% chance. It seems like he wants to remain politically active but I'm not sure he'd be willing to seek the presidency at nearly 80 years old.

[beaver2.0]

15%

[Blue3]

He already said he's likely to run again.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I sure hope he does!

[Tintrlvr]

Very low. Nonzero, but maybe 5-10%.

[Mr. Morden]

He already said he's likely to run again.

He said "I'm not ruling out anything" when asked about 2020.  I'm unaware of him ever saying that a 2020 run was "likely".

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

I don't think he'll run but I think he'll be the kingmaker.

[KingSweden]

I don't think he'll run but I think he'll be the kingmaker.

[Cuckslayer]

About 30%, which is less likely than him tipping over dead. He's 71 but looks like he's 97.

[Figueira]

Maybe 1%

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Way too high. 50-50, even if Warren is already in. You will see that this man is more power-hungry than Hillary ever was.

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Depends if any other Progs step up.

Way too high. 50-50, even if Warren is already in. You will see that this man is more power-hungry than Hillary ever was.

This alternate universe you live in sounds like thrilling political fiction.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Way too high. 50-50, even if Warren is already in. You will see that this man is more power-hungry than Hillary ever was.

Two presidential runs each sounds like a tie in that category to me.

[BaldEagle1991]

I sure hope he does!

Same here. However age is a problem for him by 2020.

[AtorBoltox]

Way too high. 50-50, even if Warren is already in. You will see that this man is more power-hungry than Hillary ever was.

How exactly is a man who waited until the age of 75 to run for President after decades as an independent politician in the small, politically insignificant state of Vermont power hungry?

[R/H]

Maybe he could malke the pledge to make one term. And he can also use Reagan's « youth and inexperience » argument against Trump, after all Trump is younger and less experienced than Sanders.

[ShamDam]

I think mortality is the only thing stopping him, and he has demonstrated perseverance in the face of daunting math before...

[DPKdebator]

I don't think that it's totally out of the question, but I'd lean more towards Bernie staying on the sidelines in 2020 (especially considering his age by then).

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Way too high. 50-50, even if Warren is already in. You will see that this man is more power-hungry than Hillary ever was.

He didn't know what being a celebrity tasted like for all those years.

[Sir Mohamed]

Nah, won’t happen. He’ll be 79. Maybe Warren runs, but she’ll be over 70 as well. I guess that Harris, Booker, Hickenlooper and O’Malley are going to run in addition to one or two people are not yet supposed to be running.
