According to Fox News, former U.S. President Barack Obama is planning to step in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary to ensure that 78-year-old Senator Bernie Sanders would not win the party’s nomination.

This has become a great deal since Obama had always preferred to lay low during preliminaries. The former president has become increasingly wary of Sanders as he continued to gain momentum in recent national polls, getting ahead of Joe Biden and front-runner Sen. Elizabeth Warren. According to the numbers, there is a huge possibility that Sanders might be the first to win the primary contest. He even managed to gain attention, as things heat up with the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire.

However, despite his increasing popularity, Obama believed that Sanders is both “temperamentally” and “politically unfit” to be able to beat President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2020 elections. Fox Business confirms that Sanders’ “confrontational” manners might drag him down, as proven with his long years as a U.S Senator.

In fact, his former opponent Hillary Clinton said in her new documentary, “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.” Clinton even added that “it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.”

When asked by The Hollywood Reporter if her statements hold up, Clinton’s response was “Yes, it does.”

Obama was also concerned with Sanders far-left policies. Obama believes that Sanders’ plan to give free college tuition and massive student debt forgiveness by implementing a massive tax increase would draw out even the most traditional Democratic voter.

Moreover, Obama had also become more worried about other leftist proposals in the early part of the campaign. Especially since despite his liberal principles, Obama had not always received full support from the far-left party, as he tried to make changes in policymaking. For example, his decision to refrain from nationalizing ailing banks, and instead of continuing with the bail-out policies during a financial crisis had not sat well with other party members.

“The average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system to remake it,” Obama said in a Times interview.

Even his ambitious plan of Obamacare, which aims to provide socialized medicine had failed its goals to provide health insurance for every American.

Sanders’ “Medicare for All” policy was not even a better solution either. Instead, it would only add chaos by dismantling Obama’s failed socialized health program and add a whopping $19 trillion to the national debt.

As Democrats tried to keep up a United front whilst fighting and throwing statements against each other, Obama supporters claimed that the former president will support any Democratic nominee.

However, these statements might be up for debate, as the opposition continues to struggle with the impeachment trial and trying to contend with President Trump’s growing online social media presence and popularity.
