(37,804 posts)I'd much rather see Bernie run as a Democrat than kick him off and have him run as an Independent and see trump win the election. I don't think he has a chance in the world of winning the nomination, so I'm all for having him in the debate. For those that blame the last loss on the Green Party, and independent might win way more votes than she did.
I'm old enough to remember Democrats that ran like George Wallace and Lyndon LaRouche, Wallace even won the Michigan Primary. I'd have to sit out if they won. I would not vote for Bernie in the primary because of his tax returns and we have plenty of great candidates to vote for this time. But, in a general election between two that have not released their taxes, I'd have to vote for Bernie. Not going to happen.
In the mean time, lets back who ever we want with out ragging on anyone running for Democratic nomination. We need to unite and not divide to keep from letting the 27 to 34% of the crazies decide on the current asshole.
I'm good with supporting whom I like without running down those that are not on my favorite list. The most important thing in the coming year is destroy trump.
