He has been an IND since about 81 and don't believe he will switch to DEM, and CK_John Sep 2014 #1

That is simply untrue. 99Forever Sep 2014 #3

I don't think such a switch would cost him any of his current support. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #4

I think his progressive base would support him regardless of the letter after his name thesquanderer Sep 2014 #8

I doubt there are any "anti-Sanders" folks here. JoePhilly Sep 2014 #2

I think they exist. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #5

One thing which will halt his ability to become president his title of Independent Socialists. Thinkingabout Sep 2014 #12

There's are other threads about whether he can win... thesquanderer Sep 2014 #13

I think it makes a difference gwheezie Sep 2014 #26

I completely agree, it does make a difference. thesquanderer Sep 2014 #27

I hope he does gwheezie Sep 2014 #28

Pointing out that Sanders is unlikely to win, baldguy Sep 2014 #20

Convince you that he can win the primaries? thesquanderer Sep 2014 #22
