The list includes Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Sanders has visited them all in recent weeksalong with Indiana, a Republican-leaning state that Barack Obama won in 2008 and that strategists believe could be competitive in 2020.
As Sanders says, Youve got to show up. Thats especially true in Wisconsin, where Democratic presidential nominees won in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012.

On April 12, Sanders delivered a fierce rebuke to the presidents approach at an outdoor rally in Madison that, despite blustery weather, drew several thousand supporters. Sanders plans to keep coming back to Wisconsin and other fall battleground states. But its what he and his supporters are doing when he is outside the state that could be one of the savviest strategic moves of the 2020 election cycle. While most other Democratic campaigns are focusing messaging and campaign spending on key primary and caucus states, the Sanders camp is turning energy and resources toward the Great Lakes states where Trump is already campaigning.

The senator was referencing job losses in the valley caused by the closures of Shopko department stores and the downsizing of Kimberly-Clark Corp. factories. Sanders also took a shot at the fiasco that has played out since Trump and former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker promised the Taiwan-based technology firm Foxconn $3 billion in state subsidies (now closer to $4.5 billion) in return for a wildly optimistic promise to create 13,000 jobs in southeast Wisconsin. As the company sent mixed signals about actually following through on its commitments, Walkers already ailing 2018 reelection campaign stumbled, and he was defeated by Democrat Tony Evers.

So far I only see 3 candidates taking on Trump, Warren, Bernie and Biden.
It isn't a laughing matter.

(15,650 posts)I'm just tired of folks here going after Sanders every chance they get -- often unfairly and illegitimately. I may not even vote for him in the primary, but his treatment here is kind of obnoxious and pompous in my view. The man has done more to raise awareness of the economic inequities that have gone on for far too long and effect far too many people negatively in this country than anyone. He deserves more respect than what many give him here.
