Bernie Sanders was NEVER a republican

[SoLeftIAmRight]

Can your candidate say the same?

[brooklynite]

1. Remember when everyone here wanted Elizabeth Warren to run?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

3. That does not sound like an answer to the question.

Want another chance?

[tk2kewl]

4. not sure about "everyone," but yes i remember when many did

why do you ask?

[brooklynite]

7. Apparently being a Republican in the past didn't matter then, right?

[tk2kewl]

12. got it

i prefer to look at Hillary's adult record... what she did as a teen isn't that important to me

i think Clinton supporters should take the same approach rather than accusing Bernie of not being a member of the team.

i actually admire the fact that he was an independent for so long and lament the fact that normaly we only get two money/media approved choices

[Ferd Berfel]

46. Bernie was always working FOR we the People. Never the 1%

[Cali_Democrat]

2. Now Elizabeth Warren has been tossed under the bus

[SoLeftIAmRight]

5. That does not sound like an answer to the question.

Want to try again?

[whatchamacallit]

59. For what?

[jillan]

63. Typical deflection response.

[seaotter]

6. ...

[HooptieWagon]

8. Campaigned for Nelson Rockefeller in '68, too.

[Ferd Berfel]

48. was hwad of the Young Republicans too

I wonder if she was a democrat before or after they sold the Democratic party to the Koch Bros?

[PonyUp]

10. Estimated auction value $150-$200. 2 bidders. Looks like it went for $65. Did Hillary bid?

68. That's a nice photograph you were able to find!! n/t

[Lucinda]

9. So? n/t

[SoLeftIAmRight]

11. That does not sound like an answer to the question.

want to try again?

It is easy - NO

[Lucinda]

14. Hillary was raised in a conservative household, and by her Junior year in college

was an active Democratic force on her campus.

I stick by my first response.
So?

[FlatBaroque]

16. In hindsight, she should have remained true to herself

and stayed Republican. But instead she and Bill decided they wanted to make the Democratic party their own Republican light party. That sucks for the rest of us.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

29. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

...

[itsrobert]

13. Logic 101

Sanders was a Socialist and now he has move to the right as a Democrat. Hillary was a republican and now she has move to the left as a Democrat.

Taking liberties with your logic, Sanders is on a trajectory of becoming an extreme conservative and Hillary is on a trajectoy to become an exteme liberal if both continue on their current paths.

Of course Im being ridiculous.

[Lucinda]

15. Ridiculous...maaaaybe...but awesome!

[SoLeftIAmRight]

31. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

[Bobbie Jo]

17. You mean before she was even old enough to vote?

Ok, y'all keep hitting that one.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

[Bobbie Jo]

40. Wut?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

41. ???

???

[onehandle]

18. The 'Not Hillary' Party's first choice was 45+ years a Republican Elizabeth Warren.

So, cool story, bro.

[KingFlorez]

19. OP probably didn't even know that

[SoLeftIAmRight]

27. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

...

[SoLeftIAmRight]

20. That does not sound like an answer to the question.

It is easy to be truthful and say NO. Then you can But... but...but...

[Vincardog]

38. years a Republican Elizabeth Warren does not have a history of moving the Democratic party to the

Right. She did not pass (or campaign for) job killing trade agreements
or
Campaign for shifting social spending for welfare to the prison industry
or
Negotiate the TPP and call it the "Gold Standard" until it was exposed as the toxic crap it has been shown to be.

[KingFlorez]

21. No, he was Liberty Union, then Independent, then Democratic and will be Independent again

It's a weak attack to hit Clinton on what she did when she was not even old enough to vote. Switching parties at 75 just to get resources and easier ballot access is far more questionable.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

23. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

....

[KingFlorez]

26. That makes no sense

[SoLeftIAmRight]

28. Cut It Out

you are smart - you get it

[KingFlorez]

35. Those mushrooms on the lawn are not for eating

[SoLeftIAmRight]

37. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

and that depends on where you live

[Vincardog]

39. Bernie is running as a Democrat but has never switched POSITIONS or POLICIES he has ALWAYS worked

FOR the good of the dispossessed and under-represented.

[liberal_at_heart]

42. Both parties are bleeding members. 30% identify as Republican. 30% identify as

Democratic. 40% identify as Independent. I'm not so sure using the label Independent as an insult is such a useful thing to do. She could turn off a lot of voters that way. Of course she lost me a long time ago. I am an Independent and was for Bernie long before Hillary insinuated that is a bad thing to be.

[msongs]

22. bernie sanders was never a democrat until after a 73 year wait lol nt

[SoLeftIAmRight]

25. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

...

[UglyGreed]

24. She is not a republican anymore

she is a "new" type of politician and it is called Third Way.......

[Reter]

30. I voted for Dole in 1996

I still don't regret it. There would have been no Bush in 2000, and possibly no 9/11.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

32. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

...

[Nonhlanhla]

33. Oh dear

Is this the best you can do? There are so many hit pieces against Hillary here on a daily basis, and the best you can do is to mention the fact that Hillary was a Republican when she was a teenager (who had grown up in a Republican home).

LOL.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

36. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

...

[Orsino]

43. Senator Warren would like a word with you out back. n/t

[SoLeftIAmRight]

44. Is she in this race?

...

[Orsino]

47. Those are her shoes over there.

Sticking out from under the bus.

I would gladly have her on our ticket, in either position.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

49. I like her.

She is not under a bus.

be well

[Vinca]

45. When Bernie was being arrested during a civil rights demonstration, Hill was a Goldwater Girl.

[Tarc]

50. People evolve and change over time

It isn't a negative trait.

Sad that Camp Sanders is pulling this out as a talking point, but as they face 20-30 point deficits in almost all of the upcoming primary states, who can blame em?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

51. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...

[Tarc]

53. You have spammed this same message 10 times in 60 minutes in this thread

When you decide to grow up a little and give an adult response, we'll be all ears.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

55. Can you say that Hillary was a republican...

Then I will be all ears...

[Tarc]

61. Yes she had Republican leanings as a teenager

Zero fucks are given.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

62. you are almost there

Hillary Clinton was a republican. See, it is not difficult to say.

Try it!

[liberal N proud]

52. He was never a Democrat either - at least until he needed to be

[SoLeftIAmRight]

57. never a Democrat either???

...

[livetohike]

54. He was never a Democrat. Clinton has been

one since 1968. So my vote is for the one who had been a Democrat for nearly 50 years.

By the way, Warren voted for Reagan twice and she was in her 40's.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

58. Is it so hard to say...

Hillary was a republican.

[Herman4747]

69. So she was allegedly a Democrat when she owned stock in WalMart?

And worked for WalMart too, when the company was doing its best to deny unionization?

[mythology]

56. And at one point Sanders said it would be hypocritical of

Him to run as a Democrat after the ways he has spoken of the party. So either he was wrong then or he's a hypocrite today if we take your view.

Or you believe people can change and grow and realize that sometimes we all do things we later change our minds about. Perhaps someday you may come to regret posting this "When did you stop beating your wife" style flamebait question.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

60. Hillary Clinton was a republican.

see - it is not hard to say it

But... but... but... can come later

[Beacool]

64. Yeah, so?

He was still an Independent until a few months ago and only became a Democrat to run for president.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

65. It is not hard to type - Hillary Clinton was a republican.

try it - then you can add the but... but... but...

[Beacool]

66. She was raised in a Republican household and changed allegiances in her second year in college.

Sanders chose as an adult to remain an Independent and described himself as a "democratic Socialist" until last year. Therein is the difference.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

67. It is easy to be truthful for some - just say NO and then you can but... but... but...
