They should have convinced him the first time but instead they all got behind him and smothered any opposition because they were terrified that Sanders had a shot at beating their very bad candidates.

There’s no way they could not do reelection, though. We’re stuck with him, one way or another. He can’t even step down because his VP is even less liked.

Unfortunately, that means Trump (another historically weak candidate who just has a rabid but small fan base) has a good shot at taking this.
