I mean, they're both friend-of-the-little-guy candidates, though Sanders is probably even more left-wing OTL due to the period of reduced US-Soviet tensions replacing the BrezhnevMurphy/Sanders 1984?

They probably will co-sponsor at least one bill in the Senate in favor of some pro-worker position like chipping away at Taft-Hartley or improving education funding in poor districts.
Imagine if those two met and started working together. It would be interesting, to say the least.

Senator Audie Murphy.
This is awesome! He should meet Bernie!
Funny, but let's not continue this any further, lest we attract any bears.Okay since you brought HRB back into this, I may have come up with a quick thing off of the flash-forward 2016 fan things from like 150 pages back...
TRUMP 2020: MAKE AMERICA FAIR... AGAIN?
The Washington Post
March 20th, 2019
New York Governor Donald J. Trump has formally announced his expected campaign for the Democratic nomination. This will be his second bid for the presidency, as he was the Democratic nominee in 2016 where he was defeated by President Bush. Referred to admiringly by supporters and mockingly by detractors as “The Great Uncommoner” in a reference to William Jennings Bryan, Trump’s 2020 platform notably provides a blend of Social Democratic economics and Christian Democratic social stances which has been described as “pure populism.” This includes a final repeal to Taft-Hartley, heavy tariffs to protect American manufacturing and farming, harsher limits on immigration, and the passage of a “Labor Bill of Rights,” as he refers to a proposal he describes as “a real big-league idea, we want to really make sure it’s beautiful. We just know you’re all gonna love it, we’ll release it soon.” The most recent AP poll suggests Trump is narrowly the frontrunner at 31%. Texas Governor Joaquin Castro narrowly trails him at 28%, followed by South Dakota Senator Billie Sutton at 19%, Georgia Senator Jason Carter at 11%, and Missouri Representative Robin Carnahan at 6%.

In light of the recent Cal intervention, I was tho maybe it could be fun to post a Photos of BSIC thread, which allows people to post pictures of the TL throughout and going up to modern day. Would anyone be up for that?
I would, even if, being blind, I can't see the pictures, or post them, but, I could post quotes from people during different events.
Thank you both so much! I would be very interested in a photos of BSiC thread.
