20. Sure, let me get the crayons out.

Let's go to the full sentence for full context.
"He knows Nader's life for the last 15 years and I am sure is not eager to live that in his dotage."

The writer is expressing their certainty that Bernie Sanders is aware of what a laughingstock that Ralph Nader's career became after helping make George W Bush the President, and that the writer does not believe that Bernie Sanders would anticipate sharing the same fate.

It makes sense to anyone who doesn't try to selectively edit it to make the writer look bad.
