I agree. I think if Sanders runs as an Independent, he will see he does not have the support ChrisTee Jun 2018 #18

Are you for some reason hoping Sanders runs as an Independent. shanny Jun 2018 #70

Hoping? I think he will run as Independent. I do not think the Democratic Party will welcome him. ChrisTee Jun 2018 #74

If he declares himself a Democrat, the party will have no choice. shanny Jun 2018 #85

Is that declaration before or after he runs for the Senate in 2018? TexasTowelie Jun 2018 #94

Why should it matter if he does it now? shanny Jun 2018 #97

I don't hate Bernie, but I don't think he is helpful for Democrats. TexasTowelie Jun 2018 #101

Obviously there's a BIG difference between running for VT Senator and for President. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2018 #131
