From impeachment to the presidential campaign, the continued Trumpification of the GOP to the war within the Democratic Party, 2019 was not a boring year for political news. At Politico Magazine, we dove deep into the year’s biggest trends and stories and told plenty of enterprising tales, too—investigations, forgotten histories, unexpected profiles, foreign dispatches and more. Below are some of the articles our readers liked most in 2019, which we hope you can take some time to read—or reread—over the holidays.

‘Anyone Ever Seen Cocaine?’ What We Found in the Archives of Bernie Sanders’ Long-Lost TV Show.
What a forgotten trove of videotapes reveals about the man who rewrote America’s political script.
By HOLLY OTTERBEIN May 03, 2019
Dozens of children scurry on the screen across Ethan Allen Park in Burlington, Vermont, bobbing for apples and running three-legged races. It is a beaming July day, and they’re at a summer camp for kids who live in local housing projects. The video is washed in a yellow light, like a newspaper left too long in the sun. The year is 1987. Atop a wooden picnic table nearby sits a man, clasping a microphone with both hands as he hunches with his elbows on his knees like a camp counselor. He’s wearing gray slacks and a short-sleeved white button-down, and he looks like he’s been on this earth for far longer than a half-century, but he’s only 45.
