Bernie was just being kind by saying he's unsure. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2013 #85

Correct. He was being very diplomatic. He's one of the people I'd like to see Cal33 Nov 2013 #101

If the "working family" has a hedge fund manager and owns stock in Walmart, she'd be an advocate. nt NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #2

Bingo! sulphurdunn Nov 2013 #17

We must get a progressive to challenge her. And we cant wait until 2015 like all the rhett o rick Nov 2013 #3

Bernie running as an Independent, HockeyMom Nov 2013 #7

Just like Mike Gravel did Capt. Obvious Nov 2013 #8

Mike who? AAO Nov 2013 #32

You are correct. That's why we need to urge him to run as a Democrat in the totodeinhere Nov 2013 #10

That would be fine with me HockeyMom Nov 2013 #13

Bernie's message is far more appealing than a lot of corporate Democrats realize. JDPriestly Nov 2013 #73

You're being wayyy too kind. Hillary only looks out for herself and her corporate buddies, not the common folks. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2013 #89

Seriously, the LAST thing we need is Hillary and her tired old Rethug-lite policies. Elizabeth or Bernie for me TYVM. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2013 #87

We know what Hillary said to raising the cap. Enthusiast Nov 2013 #79

Couldn't agree more. Hillary only has Hillary's best interests at heart, making speeches at $500,000 a pop. Gimme a fuckin' break! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2013 #90

That's not only nonsense, it's not even true. Beacool Nov 2013 #120
