20. There has to be more. Everyone from President Obama on down

who knew him from inside weighed in against him. What on earth got a Democratic president to let his position be known in the nasty business of the party working to keep him from becoming our senate candidate in 2016? There were discussions of scandals in the papers, financial and domestic abuse, but what don't WE know?

He's no farther left on positions than many the party helped elect and support in office, so that's not it. We'd take another I-Sanders any day and be glad over the Republican who beat our Democratic candidate in 2016, scumbag incumbent Marco Rubio, of course. And the opponent he lost to in 2018, Darren Soto, ran as a much younger male Ocasio-Cortez with basically the same positions and is in office now.
