NY Times: Bernie 2020, Pro and Con - The strengths and weaknesses of the frequently underrated politician from Vermont. By David Leonhardt

Sanders is a natural politician. Too many Democrats campaign on a laundry list of smart, technocratic proposals that, in the minds of voters, add up to less than the sum of their parts.

If he were elected president along with Democratic majorities in Congress, he would have a mandate for Reagan-like change — in the opposite direction.
