(2,941 posts)to do the right thing regardless of Wall Street CEO focus group pressure, then need to support him. Sad state of affairs when the best Democrat in Washington isn't even a Democrat.

(6,921 posts)he becomes a Democrat. If he wins, he has to run for President as a Democrat. That's the way political parties work.

(62,325 posts)If there is another Dem we could support who is so right on all the Democrat issues as he is, point that person out and I will gladly support him/her. But if there isn't, then Bernie, just as he is, is good enough for me, and a whole lot of others that I know.

(6,645 posts)will prevent anyone that liberal (intelligent) from actually winning a primary challenge. By the time 2 or 3 states have voted they have essentially decided who can win the nomination and upteen states don't even get to vote on the whole slate. Someone like Howard Dean or Bernie Sanders will be forced out long before my state even gets around to a primary. I think we need a national primary day in all states. Then see who wins. Of course, now everyone will disagree with me.
