For example, from the first three lines of the article... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #84

That's not to say that the article is correct in saying that.... George II May 2018 #89

Oh okay... you might want to take that up with the Washington Post. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #92

The Wash Post didn't say he was "leading with a vengeance....the results speak for themselves"... George II May 2018 #102

That was an awesome post. KPN May 2018 #142

This post is akin to God sending a bird down to land on Bernie's podium as a message from him. sunRISEnow May 2018 #119

You folks keep saying things like that, but when asked can't be specific. Why? George II May 2018 #74

Huh? The first three lines from the article are but a few exemples... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #88

That sentence is not necessarily true. Many have embraced those policies long before Sanders.... George II May 2018 #91

Tell that to the Washington Post...news to me that someone can't be a leader on an issue if others InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #95

So you think he's "leading" on a policy that had already been introduced and discussed? So.... George II May 2018 #98

there needs to be a real democrat running for sander's senate seat nt msongs May 2018 #15

That would be ironic. Run another party that will pull votes and Bernie likely losing his seat. sunRISEnow May 2018 #16

1991 the Democratic Party and Bernie agreed the Democratic Party would not run a viable candidate sunRISEnow May 2018 #18
