Will Bernie be nominated this time around?

Will we see a second term Trump presidency in 2020? That remains to be answered until later in the year, but as he is travelling at the moment - you would expect so.


Joe Biden appears to be the front-runner for Democratic nomination, but I would love to see Bernie Sanders receive the nomination. I would love to say I was able to foresee the Donald Trump presidency emerge, but I just didn't honestly see how he could win.

When he was successful, I was interested to see how he would fare. I never believed any of the slogans such as "drain the swamp" although I did expect him to be unorthodox. I am not American so I can't vote in US elections, I do follow US policy insofar as as an investor, US policy and actions affect financial markets.

Bernie is an old socialist and I would love to see some of his policies enacted, this would shake the US up a whole lot. I thought it was a mistake to run with the Hillary Clinton nomination, Donald Trump certainly had a field day with her.

For me, Bernie is an interesting prospect, the US might adapt some more social policies as opposed to their current trajectory. The US has wild variations in equality and I would love to see the US adapt social policies and look after its vulnerable citizens.

I would love to see Bernie endorsed as the Democratic nominee, that would really shake the US up. Bernie is pretty old though, I think he missed his chance four years ago when Hillary was selected over Bernie. Elizabeth Warren might be popular but billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg could give Donald a real hard run.
