I'm open to everyone at this point except Sanders or Turner RandySF Jun 2018 #1

Warren is fine as long as she slams the door of intentional division in his face. Wwcd Jun 2018 #4

I could DEFINITELY support that ticket, if that were the outcome. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #68

I don't really but I don't think Elizabeth could win. I like our Oregon Senator OregonBlue Jun 2018 #159

If Elizabeth, like the article says, pulls Democrats away from Hillary's more centrist positions... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #6

Bernie will never have the support of the Dem majority. Wwcd Jun 2018 #7

Maybe Bernie runs, maybe not... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #13

No, the Dem Party & their voters will NOT embrace him. They despise him. Wwcd Jun 2018 #22

Riiiight, that's why Bernie votes with the Democrats more often than any other Democrat. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #23

Oh lord. That's deep. Lets start with Magnitsky & Russian sanctions Wwcd Jun 2018 #29

I cant even respond to that statement, thank you for doing it. Eliot Rosewater Jun 2018 #44

Bernie Caucuses with the party and is a member of the following committees. CentralMass Jun 2018 #32

So? And he has never stopped campaiginng against the Dem Party since 2016 Wwcd Jun 2018 #33

I think it is obvious he is going to oppose loudly and often the Democratic Party Eliot Rosewater Jun 2018 #46

Correct. Bernie is shameless to want to run again as a Dem. onetexan Jun 2018 #125

Sanders will have to release tax returns in several blue states Gothmog Jun 2018 #92

You may be right and Bernie won't run. If he does, yes, he SHOULD release his tax returns InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #100

Excellent post Gothmog! Docreed2003 Jun 2018 #141

These negative Bernie bashing memes are getting tiresome. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #115

Are you admitting that sanders is NOT universally loved by real democrats? Gothmog Jun 2018 #123

I agree with you on this Gothmog Jun 2018 #98

Why would they embrace him? xmas74 Jun 2018 #37

Because, even though Bernie's not technically registered as a Democrat, he votes, campaigns & leads InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #56

Still not a Democrat. xmas74 Jun 2018 #86

I think the 2020 race IS going to be fair and square, in which case, what ever happens happens. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #58

Ha! NurseJackie Jun 2018 #69

Do you really believe that sanders will ever release his tax returns? Gothmog Jun 2018 #99

I believe Bernie absolutely SHOULD release at least 5 years of tax returns. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #102

You did not answer my question Gothmog Jun 2018 #106

Yup. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #157

He needs to release 10...5 would only cover about a year before the last presidential... Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #152

If Bernie wins the nomination, having released 10 years of tax returns as you suggest... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #155

five years is not good enough as it is only one year before 16...I want to know why he Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #167

Why Would He Have THe Support Of Dem Majority? Me. Jun 2018 #54

I think Bernie WILL release his tax returns, should he decide to run again... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #60

It will not be his choice Gothmog Jun 2018 #101

It's the right thing to do, regardless of ballot access laws. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #103

And yet sanders did not do this in past elections Gothmog Jun 2018 #105

Looking to the future, I expect Bernie will do the right thing in this regard, should he run again. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #117

Why did sanders refused to release tax returns in the past? Gothmog Jun 2018 #119

I recall Bernie did release at least one tax return... if he runs again, he should release more. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #163

No sanders never released any tax returns Gothmog Jun 2018 #164
