Is Bernie’s Long Game the Right Play for 2020?

First Read: “Here’s something to chew on: Bernie Sanders has been far from a leading figure on the biggest issues of the day as it relates to Donald Trump’s presidency.”

“Think about it: the Russia investigation, the border wall, family separations, ethics investigations, Supreme Court nominations, the shutdown. On all of those issues, he’s been either a minor voice or a non-figure. Instead, Sanders – like he did in 2016 – is playing a longer game.”

“It’s an interesting gamble: Do Democratic primary voters and general-election voters want transformative change? Or do they just want to replace Trump?”

“Bernie’s betting on the former over the latter.”
