1. Your concern has been noted.

[Agschmid]

2. He may not loose, and if he does he won't run as a third party.

[boston bean]

3. He'll lose and he may.

[Agschmid]

5. And if that scenario plays out we will have no progress for anyone.

He is an intelligent man, he will get that I have no doubt.

[boston bean]

7. Not if he thinks he can win.

He will never win the general election. No matter what ticket he runs on.

[Agschmid]

9. If there is a Democrat, an Independent (left leaning), and a Republican running...

It's almost a statistical impossibility that either the D or I would win. Almost everyone here will agree to this, as would Senator Sanders. I have met him, he gets it.

I'm not concerned, and you shouldn't be either.

[boston bean]

10. We'll see. nt

[Agschmid]

11. Yup.

[frylock]

6. Shit like this is what's going to make his victory all the sweeter.

[Bonobo]

4. Is that based on anything besides your gut feeling? nt

[HooptieWagon]

8. Yes. 10% wishfull thinking....

...10% fantasy, and 80% shit-flinging.

12. I actually expect Hillary to go third party.

I believe that she will have the temper tantrum of all temper tantrums when she and Bill realize that the second time isn't going to work out either.

She thinks it is her turn; she thinks she deserves the nomination ... and when it isn't forthcoming, in a fit of pique, she'll announce the 'Third Way Party' and go for the presidency.

[Agschmid]

15. Literally the lamest post...

[redstateblues]

16. That's some impressive mind reading

I don't get any sense of entitlement. Unlike Bernie, the Clintons are lifelong Democrats.

[Agschmid]

19. Also a lame post...

Unlike Bernie, the Clintons are lifelong Democrats.

[HooptieWagon]

28. Except when they're Goldwater Girls.

[Agschmid]

29. And the lameness continues... what a subthread.

[Paka]

37. That would not surprise me.

Bernie is a man of true honor and would not go back on his word.

[still_one]

13. No. You may prefer another candidate over Bernie, but one thing Bernie always has been, and that is

honest. He made it very clear that he would NOT run as a third party candidate, because it would split the vote, and he realizes that a republican win would be disaster for the country

[Agschmid]

14. Yup.

[boston bean]

17. His supporters tell me Hillary is a republican.

Yes I have been told that on DU. On numerous occasions. Is it that far a field to think Bernie might end up on the same page? Thinking he needs to run to save the United States.

[Agschmid]

20. And you care what they think?

Why?

This is the internet, is anonymous don't take the bait... and that's all it is sometimes (from both sides).

[TM99]

22. I think you are confusing

those of us who describe Clinton as a Republican lite.

That is, after all, what the neo-liberal Third Way is. She is a big part of its inception so it is rather hard to walk away from those fact.

[earthside]

23. That's Hillary's line ...

... she is running to save America, isn't she?

Really, do you think it is clever to just make stuff up and post it and actually think that somehow it is going to dissuade Sanders supporters from supporting him?

This is the kind of over-the-top reach that makes so many distrust Clinton and her supporters.
I'll never forget the behavior of Clinton supporters on DU in 2008 when she lost -- I've never been able to think of her or her fervent followers in a kind light since.

[still_one]

38. Hillary is a Democrat, and absolutely progressive on most issues. I don't need someone

characterizing Hillary or Bernie for me, but I see a lot of effort by both sides trying to

[TM99]

18. Who cares?

I mean that sincerely. Why should we care if you feel this way.

It is contrary to what Sanders himself has publicly stated.

Compared to your candidate, Sanders has never been got in a lie, manipulation, or deception.

You post these types of thread about every other day just to stir the shit and fling it Sanders & his supporters here.

Why?

[MannyGoldstein]

21. If the Democratic establishment @#$%s with him

I hope he considers it.

[Raine1967]

25. I don't believe he will run as a third party candidate.

He has always been a man of his word. He has said he would not do so.

[Live and Learn]

26. Obviously, you don't know Bernie very well. nt

[JI7]

27. he is not going to run on the third party ticket , he will support whoever the Dem Nominee is

[Agnosticsherbet]

30. I think Sanders word is good, and I am not a supporter.

The man does not want to see Republicans in charge, and is smart enough to know what that running as an independent is a gift to the Republican Party in our system.

[TheNutcracker]

31. He said after researching, he would not be a 'spoiler'. So run along.

[TheNutcracker]

32. PS. We don't need anyone believing they can wait for the general to vote for Bernie.

I will not waste time in the primary where Bernie must beat Hillary, thinking I'll get it done in the general. Nice try though.....

[NRaleighLiberal]

33. .

[demmiblue]

35. I'll take a double.

[840high]

34. Stop. Just stop. Foolish.

[TDale313]

36. What the absolute fuck?!?

Support your candidate, but seriously, this is just making shit up, and calling Bernie a liar to boot.

[dsc]

39. Many states have sore loser laws

so even if he were to break his word, and I think there is close to 0 chance of that, he would be kept of the ballot of many states.
