I'm hoping Bernie survives til 2020
I will not be surprised if the DNC forces Hilary on the people again. Her time is gone and over. Apart fro Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders there isn't anyone who can successfully challenge Trump.
They can't
Go ahead and google, "the most popular politicians in America", and tell me if you see any names besides Bernie Sanders
here's a link

In 2015, nobody knew who Bernie was... they kept him out of the media, only held 3 debates, all on satuday nights, etc... so nobody would know who he was or what he stood for
But now in 2017, everyone knows who Bernie is, and they wish they had voted for him...
They simply could not use the same tactics
For 2020 Trump will have split the Rust Belt off. It will not vote Democratic. The Demos have lost the coal miners, and they are likely going to lose some of the unions.
You think you can push personality? How about some actual progress on things that matter to people? Is combating Trump a useful end in and of itself?
I think it is not, you have to have a better plan, and you don't. And stop talking about tired, old, worn out white faces as if they will be salvation. You guys really need to get rid of that tired dog Pelosi, send Warren back to the reservation, and maybe get some one of the high tech corporations leaders into the fray. But you won't. We'll see the same gangster faces yet again telling the same lies.
For 2016, Americans of Republican/Independent/Democrat leanings voted for a Republican who was not really a Republican.
That's worth mulling over. Is old-style "us vs them" Demo vs Repub conceptualization and casting of issues obsolete? I think this guy Trump will be in for eight years.
