Poor Bernie Sanders. Like the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield, he “don’t get no respect.”
The Vermont United States senator, officially an independent but a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, is now one of several handfuls of politicians declaring themselves Democratic candidates for the presidency in 2020.
Unfortunately, he’s four years too late for his own socialist banquet.
Four years ago, Sanders tapped into what Donald Trump had seen – an electorate that felt powerless, a middle class bottoming out and a government without a vision.
Obviously, the two took what they’d seen in different directions.
