The Illinois primary is still about 18 months away. There's lots of time and no one has announced yet.

We aren't Anti-Sanders, we aren't even Pro-Hillary, we are simply not ready to jump on any bandwagon [View all] LynneSin Sep 2014 OP

How about we jump on the GOTV 2014 bandwagon? nt msanthrope Sep 2014 #1

Yep. merrily Sep 2014 #3

I'm all for that - talk to all the other folks LynneSin Sep 2014 #4

I hope each of us has been doing that, in our way. And perhaps more importantly, also in IRL. merrily Sep 2014 #5

Been on that one since the 80's. riqster Sep 2014 #37

Everybody's got a seat on that wagon.. hope we all have a smooth ride. Voice for Peace Sep 2014 #38

+1000. nt ecstatic Sep 2014 #62

With Sanders, the idea is just to get him into the Dem primary, so merrily Sep 2014 #2

I always assumed there would be a primary - I love a good democratic primary LynneSin Sep 2014 #13

Me, too! I really don't understand the resistance to having Sanders or merrily Sep 2014 #15

You're wrong. It is very possible to support an open primary and also not want to give pnwmom Sep 2014 #18

Just DON'T support "top two" "open primary" props. NO on prop 90 here in Oregon in 2014!... cascadiance Sep 2014 #22

I strongly agree. I wish that hadn't happened here in WA. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #25

You're very wrong for completely changing what I posted. merrily Sep 2014 #24

Merrily, you have forgotten that I was a poster said, "the more, the merrier." pnwmom Sep 2014 #27

You cannot speak for all, though. And you are wrong again. merrily Sep 2014 #35

I haven't seen you spread any lies about Hillary. I was just explaining pnwmom Sep 2014 #43

Thank you because your post could have been read differently. merrily Sep 2014 #51

What Republicans is she "just like"? Her voting scores were the same as Obama's when they pnwmom Sep 2014 #55

How did you misread my post by that much? merrily Sep 2014 #56

aaaarrrghhh! I don't care! Can we PLEASE librechik Sep 2014 #6

really justabob Sep 2014 #16

I can agree with this. Xyzse Sep 2014 #7

In the end I'll vote for the candidate on the Democratic party LynneSin Sep 2014 #14

Pretty much where I'm at. Xyzse Sep 2014 #19

+1!!! freshwest Sep 2014 #32

I'm with you. We should at least hear where our candidates stand on the issues. Hillary is afraid to take a stand on anything. InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2014 #53

In fact, Hillary does better in the polls when she says nothing at all. That sure doesn't reflect well. InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2014 #54

Her popularity ratings fell during her book tour. That doesn't bode well, either. merrily Sep 2014 #65

Odd? Perhaps, but I'd use another adjective for this behavior: disgusting. InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2014 #69

Well, you've got my vote. nt el_bryanto Sep 2014 #8

I have a crazy idea! Let's have a primary! FSogol Sep 2014 #9

Take your crazy ideas somewhere else! randome Sep 2014 #11

You're right, the election should be decided by internet malcontents 2 years ahead of time. FSogol Sep 2014 #12

Because: freshwest Sep 2014 #33

omigosh.. Bill Murray so young, Voice for Peace Sep 2014 #41

Like your attitude! freshwest Sep 2014 #47

thanks.. it is a survival attitude. Voice for Peace Sep 2014 #50

Democracy within the Democratic Party is to be avoided at all costs. merrily Sep 2014 #26

Yeah. randome Sep 2014 #10

I don't think anyone yelled at you for not being on Sanders' bandwagon tkmorris Sep 2014 #17

There is a poster in this thread pnwmom Sep 2014 #20

As you say, that poster isn't doing what the OP describes tkmorris Sep 2014 #28

He could run as a Dem, lose, and then use that as a platform for running as an Independent. pnwmom Sep 2014 #29

It wouldn't PREVENT him from doing so, no tkmorris Sep 2014 #31

He could but he would be wasting his time. No one would vote for anyone merrily Sep 2014 #61

Sanders tazkcmo Sep 2014 #40

Wow. There you go again. Now, you're falsely claiming I made false claims. merrily Sep 2014 #57

You already answered me twice in this same thread about the same thing. Weird. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #67

If you wait too long, someone else will pick your choices for you. Scuba Sep 2014 #21

Yes, exactly. politicat Sep 2014 #23

I see...... BlueJac Sep 2014 #30

How is me keeping an open mind sticking with the same old democrats? LynneSin Sep 2014 #42

That's fair tazkcmo Sep 2014 #46

Obama declared several times he wasn't going to run LynneSin Sep 2014 #48

Didn't say she was out tazkcmo Sep 2014 #68

Warren is only 8 years younger than Sanders. greatauntoftriplets Sep 2014 #60

She is? Heck she looks alot younger LynneSin Sep 2014 #63

She'll be 65 this year. greatauntoftriplets Sep 2014 #64

I can deal with 65 but that's about my limit for running for president LynneSin Sep 2014 #66

Yup. Agschmid Sep 2014 #34

Amen to that! Dyedinthewoolliberal Sep 2014 #36

I'm with you, Lynne. greatauntoftriplets Sep 2014 #39

I am Pro Sanders tazkcmo Sep 2014 #44

It is way to early to pic a candidate. upaloopa Sep 2014 #45

Ready For Hillary is not bandwagon? Doctor_J Sep 2014 #49

Too early for bandwagoning Man from Pickens Sep 2014 #52

Just speaking for myself sadoldgirl Sep 2014 #58
