Is the 2020 dem candidate battle for being THE CANDIDATE as vicious vile as was the 2016 rebuccan battle? Is Bernie the dem trump?

Will his opponents FEEL THE BERN and be singed and damaged and TAKEN OUT of the running? I dunno. Seems so. Sheesh. The dems are just copycats. The 2016 battle went so well for the repubbacans the dems are copycatting. It is said "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"! Really?
