I'm convinced that because of Nader, should Bernie run, he will run as a Democrat. Uncle Joe Sep 2014 #8

If the Democratic Party is that worried about a third-party candidate, they winter is coming Sep 2014 #9

Exactly! arcane1 Sep 2014 #11

Think of the exploding heads if it does end up a three way race Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #17

You win! n/t QC Sep 2014 #25

Nope, that doesnt work either. Nader pulled less than 5%. stevenleser Sep 2014 #28

You can't have it both ways. winter is coming Sep 2014 #29

Actually, yes, it can be both hurtful but not enough to pursue. Nothing contradictory in that. nt stevenleser Sep 2014 #30

The contradiction is making a strategic choice to ignore or alienate winter is coming Sep 2014 #32

That is contradictory. If hurtful means anything, morningfog Sep 2014 #35

If he runs in the Democratic primary he'll top out at 5% outside of New England Recursion Sep 2014 #15

People who spend most of their time on political sites Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #21

Why do you fear him so much if he'll top out at 5%? Enthusiast Sep 2014 #46

My fear is that he'll push the more "mainstream" candidates to the right Recursion Sep 2014 #47

That is an unfounded fear. Enthusiast Sep 2014 #48

Sanders is 73 years old Sopkoviak Sep 2014 #16

79 at the end of his first term Martin Eden Sep 2014 #20

Because he said he might on a TV program or two. nt Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #22

Because he knows that the system is rigged for the two major parties... cascadiance Sep 2014 #23
