Yup. If Bernie had a few billion dollars to fight them, they might get worried. progressoid Sep 2014 #19

They will fight him, or any Democrat tooth and nail, but I think the OPs characterization as still_one Sep 2014 #53

It's a typical Jason Easley headline (n/t) thesquanderer Sep 2014 #24

yes, i agree he can win as a democrat hopemountain Sep 2014 #36

That is the only way he can possibly win. If he runs as an independent there is no way still_one Sep 2014 #55

Precisely and I believe Bernie is realistic enough to know that. n/t Uncle Joe Sep 2014 #56
