Today on Meet The Press, Bernie Sanders said he hasn't ruled out running as an Independent [View all]

President Ted Cruz would be a real possibility.

I would definitely consider moving if Cruz became President.

He won't be running as an independent. n/t PoliticAverse Sep 2014 #3

I think he should just go for it, and STFU. His spittled laced rantings will get on America's nerves Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #4

His piss and vinegar is well founded. His spittle laced rants nothing but truth. morningfog Sep 2014 #6

Then he should go for it. Of course, then he'll be despised by Dems & Repubs alike, just like...... Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #8

Yes he should, and be just as ineffective as he's been all along. His legislative career isn't.... Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #13

You really don't like him, huh? morningfog Sep 2014 #14

Then I suggest you do what you can... 99Forever Sep 2014 #5

Such concern. nt TBF Sep 2014 #7

Cruz will never win a national election, and there is no guarantee a repub would win anyway arcane1 Sep 2014 #10

Moving? yeoman6987 Sep 2014 #11

He also said he hasn't ruled out running as a Democrat, though. merrily Sep 2014 #12
