There is a lot of work that will need to get done outside of the presidency. I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good president or anything but he's not going to get the plurality of the Democratic vote. Then because of the cult of personality he has with a good chunk of his "base. There is the possibility for more infighting.
We don't need that, and if he was being real he'd lay off being president and keep on putting up the good fight on the ground like he's been doing. However, he's already showed us that he doesn't roll like that.
Which is why, unless he somehow gets the Democratic nod, I can't support him again in the primaries.
