41. It's very hard to imagine we would allow him to.

He betrayed his agreement with the Democratic Party in return for giving him the validity and structural and funding support that come with being a Democratic candidate.

We absolutely would have to worry about 2020, knowing that Hillary would be our president now and that we'd at least control the senate IF Sanders had campaigned honorably for us, segueing to speaking truth about us, and if he had not produced his incessant lies to his supporters that we were corrupt, his incessant lies that we were not the center of Amerrican progressivism, and his incessant lies that we had stolen election after election.

There's no reason to think he'd behave differently in 2020 and every reason to believe he not only wouldn't but couldn't change his lifelong knee-jerk dissidence.

"Why?" He replies, "It's my nature."

Well, he didn't release them in 2016, so I doubt he'll be interested. MineralMan Jun 2018 #6

In Maryland and a couple of other blue states, he can not get onto ballot with release Gothmog Jun 2018 #7

I strongly suspect that Sanders won't run at all. MineralMan Jun 2018 #8
