WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders is leaving open the possibility of another presidential bid, saying in a Thursday interview that he wants to focus on helping the party rebuild its base after Donald Trump’s victory.
“Four years is a long time from now,” said the 75-year-old Vermont senator, noting that he faces re-election to the Senate in 2018. But he added: “We’ll take one thing at a time, but I’m not ruling out anything.”
Sanders gave voice to the frustration among many liberals in the aftermath of Trump’s stunning triumph over Hillary Clinton. He told The Associated Press in a phone interview that millions of working-class voters’ decision to back Trump was “an embarrassment” to the party and that Democrats must take a strong stand against the role of corporate interests in politics.

Just what we need..
An 80yo president..
Bernie had his chance after the DNC emails revealed he'd been shafted. The Green party offered him a spot on their ticket. Or he could have run as an Independent. He probably would have polled high enough to participate in the debates and maybe changed the tone of the election. His followers feel abandoned and sold out. I don't think he'll get the support.
If Trump doesn't deliver. This is where we are headed. The millinials will come out in droves in the next election. Hopefully Trump gets some stuff done. I support him 100 percent but if the millinials aren't happy at the end of the next four years. We will feel the Bern. If he is healthy.
We will rule it out for you, Bernie. We don't need a Communist and we don't need an 80 year old dysfunctional leader.
See ya later, alligator!
Whatever.........go light up a Dubie and get high...leave us alone POT HEAD
He needs to do it in a year. He has united government. There needs to be some change in a year or this country will really crumble.
Bernie is a hack and folded like a lawn chair to clinton. He was calling his campaign a revolution then supported the most corrupt person in the country... PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP won. Your welcome.
In four years his flower children followers will still be sitting in their crusty red flannel jammies, with a sugar high from their hot chocolates.
Bernie's 15 minutes are up!
Just another loud mouth that supported Hillary in the end.
He'll be dead by then. Perhaps the dead voters that seem to materialize every election, will elect him.
There will be no reason for him to run, as Trump will be quite successful. The populace will see this, and as all things improve, the leftist zealots will have no foil with which to shout from

Bernie you where screwed by the Clintons and the DNC and instead of standing up for yourself and your supporters you became Hillary's lap dog.
By that time, if Trump isn't in the game for another four, there are some better hopes in younger and more able candidates than Bernie. They'll be identifying themselves in the near future.
Bernie totally screwed his young supporters.
He was to old this last election and will be to old for the next one. Clinton robbed you and you went along with it. Sorry about your luck!
