1. Not A Happy Omen

"The staff of the Times Argus said that part of their concern revolves around whether Sanders is loyal to “Vermont or a bigger calling,” noting that the senator “missed dozens of votes that likely would have helped Vermonters” when he ran for the Democratic nomination in 2016.

“While he makes regular visits ‘home,’ you are more likely to catch Sanders on Colbert, CNN or MSNBC than you are to see him talking to reporters here in Vermont,” the paper explained. “Evidently, microphones here don’t extend far enough.”

But for the editorial board at the Times Argus, their “greatest concern” revolves around “a fear a Sanders run risks dividing the well-fractured Democratic Party” and could split the 2020 presidential vote in a similar manner as 2016.”

4. I'll be glad to see him prominently featured.

I imagine that this message board would have tremendous focus on him, should he run, and perhaps even if not.
