Seems pretty evident that there are a lot of us in that position. bullwinkle428 Oct 2018 #13

I'm HUGE Bernie believer, but he'll simply be too old Calculating Oct 2018 #18

100% agree with this. n/t Zing Zing Zingbah Oct 2018 #22

My feelings are the opposite. I don't care for Bernie but I don't think his age should disqualify StevieM Oct 2018 #37

I like him too MuseRider Oct 2018 #42

Well, that sounds like Kamala Harris. So maybe we will both support a candidate from California. StevieM Oct 2018 #45

Too early for me to know. MuseRider Oct 2018 #58

But then again everyone dismissed him in 2014 aikoaiko Oct 2018 #39

With good reason DavidDvorkin Oct 2018 #40

The 2016 primary was essentially over by Super Tuesday. And if not for caucuses: blowout Garrett78 Oct 2018 #50

I'm fine with Bern running or not running. aikoaiko Oct 2018 #55

It's not a matter of being scared. It's a matter of avoiding unnecessary divisiveness. Garrett78 Oct 2018 #60

Do people still see Bernie's criticisms as "bashing" and "divisive"? aikoaiko Oct 2018 #62

I am 100% focused on the election in 3 weeks. GulfCoast66 Oct 2018 #41

We have an election in 3 weeks! Why are we focusing on one 2 years from now? Initech Oct 2018 #43

Black voters under 30 also favored Sanders over Clinton in 2016. BlueWI Oct 2018 #48

Thanks Garrett for setting the record straight. Cha Oct 2018 #54

So you've seen this polling research before. I have too. BlueWI Oct 2018 #56

Also, personally I was a strong Sanders supporter in 2016 BlueWI Oct 2018 #57

Well, it only applies to half the states. And a fraction of the electorate in those states. So... Garrett78 Oct 2018 #59

Exit polling is always based on sampling, i.e. a fraction of voters. BlueWI Oct 2018 #64

I've always been a Bernie guy but he had his chance, he just didn't know it. BlueTsunami2018 Oct 2018 #53
