Encourage Bernie Sanders to run for President (link) [View all] merrily Sep 2014 OP

Done and Rec Faux pas Sep 2014 #1

Thanks for reading, doing and reccing. merrily Sep 2014 #2

It also plays into my Faux pas Sep 2014 #3

Having his ideas in the race will be a game changer, I think. merrily Sep 2014 #4

His ideas are totally for Faux pas Sep 2014 #7

I would never try to argue with his ideas. Or with him. merrily Sep 2014 #8

Done and rec. I support Sen Sanders run for the presidency. nm rhett o rick Sep 2014 #5

Thanks and thanks. I do, too. merrily Sep 2014 #6

Thank you! merrily Sep 2014 #14

Please don't do this jehop61 Sep 2014 #10

Are you saying that you don't want Bernie to run for Pres. as a Democrat? merrily Sep 2014 #13

Splitting the vote might be the desired outcome for some. Not everyone who posts here is a Democrat. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #18

If he runs as a Dem, what "vote" will he split? merrily Sep 2014 #21

He won't run as a Dem, and if he's so foolish, he'll be quickly Kooch'd. Remember him? Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #22

How on earth do you know he won't run as a Dem? merrily Sep 2014 #23

He couldn't beat Obama in VT, and he won't beat Hillary. Simple as that. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #37

Hillary has no soul or passion, she's the Borg candidate Kilgore Sep 2014 #81

No argument with "passion and power", but Bernie is just a "Dean scream" away from implosion. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #83

Glad to learn you're a mind reader RufusTFirefly Sep 2014 #31

Not only the ballot, but creating an infrastructure in 50 states. merrily Sep 2014 #33

Very true. Important point! RufusTFirefly Sep 2014 #38

It's only 2014. He better get to work. He could start with DU. But above ground, he'll never win. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #40

Disunity, as you call it, would be Bernie leaving his "party" to crash ours for $$$$$. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #36

If you're so sure he won't get any support in the "real" world Union Scribe Sep 2014 #48

It's a deviation from the script. merrily Sep 2014 #62

His chief goal was to make sure that Democrats lost? arcane1 Sep 2014 #67

Well, I guess only he & his BFF, Grover Norquist know the real truth. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2014 #68

Find a progressive democrat to run, then Scootaloo Sep 2014 #51

To run in the Primary does he have to give up his Senate seat? Unless I have him as my president jwirr Sep 2014 #29

That could be a complicated question, if he wants to run as a Dem. merrily Sep 2014 #30

An internet petition? That'll do the trick... brooklynite Sep 2014 #35

What difference does it make if Congress is still Republican? treestar Sep 2014 #56

So, lets not elect any President, then? Is that your point? merrily Sep 2014 #57

Bernie went on TV and said something cool treestar Sep 2014 #59

Um, no, you have it exactly backwards. merrily Sep 2014 #60
