Re: I have a scary feeling Bernie might run as a 3rd party candidate - 5 years ago

Quotebeagledave Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign manager Jeff Weaver announced this evening that Sen. Sanders will be a member of the Democratic Party for life, and he will support Hillary Clinton if she wins the nomination. Not the first time he's said he wouldn't run as an independent.

Re: I have a scary feeling Bernie might run as a 3rd party candidate - 5 years ago

All it would take is a few minutes of listening to Bernie to understand him well enough for most of the comments I've seen about him here to never have been made, but painfully few have taken the time. In some ways I liked it better when y'all were pretending he didn't exist.

Quoteneophyte IMO, Sanders will need to lead his followers back into the fold. Agree that that's going to need to happen. But I think you (Bcam) may not have been following the election much up until now beyond the bizarre version we've been getting from the MSM? Not a great understanding of what Bernie supporters are not liking about Clinton.

As mentioned above, the FBI would already have known whether the phone number was used during that period of time, so there is little reason to believe (or disbelieve) that they actually broke into the phone. Where are the conspiracy people when we need them? I have to wonder what the value of making these an

Sanders campaign sets sights on June 7 - 5 years ago

When we started this campaign, we were down almost 50 points in New York — the state where Hillary Clinton was elected to two terms in the U.S. Senate. We didn’t get the victory we had hoped for this evening, but what’s important is that it looks like we’re going to win a lot more delegates in New York than any state that voted or caucused before tonight. So what does that mean? Fiv
