Bernie was the only option to Hillary in 2016 but we had the Republican primary distraction.

Trump runs unopposed in 2020 and all the media has to focus on is the Democratic primary fight? That's actually scary, they will tear into everyone while Trump tweets about it. Bernie has a real chance to win the primary if he can keep 30% in a large field of primary candidates.
