I would agree with you that he should run as a Democrat... kentuck Apr 2015 #5

They'll spend more to Vilify,nullify, and try to dismiss him as old, even though orpupilofnature57 Apr 2015 #9

Yes, But he has integrity. That is -- he does what he says. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #84

And that's why there must be a powerful counter-force to oppose big money. RiverNoord Apr 2015 #162

Bernie can't be bought by the Kochs as you imply. You do not know his history re money do you? Dragonfli Apr 2015 #14

Bernie has no say in who donates or sets up a pac to support a candidate CK_John Apr 2015 #29

You are saying they will buy him whether he likes it or not? Dragonfli Apr 2015 #32

They already have 50 states organization ready to collect signatures and get CK_John Apr 2015 #44

Documentation? And the candidate does have the right to say NO. jwirr Apr 2015 #59

I was wrong, you aren't even worth a laugh or two. Dragonfli Apr 2015 #64

Bernie wouldn't go there and you know it. Ken Burch Apr 2015 #71

Again it's sort of out of his control... Agschmid Apr 2015 #122

Nobody would vote for Bernie as a third-party candidate Ken Burch Apr 2015 #134

I wasn't trying to hold him responsible. Agschmid Apr 2015 #137

Bernie has said he would not run as a Independent in the GE QuestionAlways Apr 2015 #97

This. Agschmid Apr 2015 #123

The last I heard he said he hadn't made his mind yet on running as a Democrat. totodeinhere Apr 2015 #130

All they have to do is put up SuperPac ads in his favor in Purple states... Agschmid Apr 2015 #121

Why would they support him over the Republican? Dragonfli Apr 2015 #126

... Agschmid Apr 2015 #129

Your entire premise rests on the assumption that he is a liar Dragonfli Apr 2015 #131

And people still think Warren is going to run... Agschmid Apr 2015 #138

Accepting donations does not equal selling out. He's never sold out in his life. Stop smearing. merrily Apr 2015 #151

The Kochs can set up PACs pro and anti Bernie. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #87

He is a moral, fair-minded man. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #89

And he was never a Republican at any point in his life. Ikonoklast Apr 2015 #108

I thought he said he was undecided about running as a Dem or as an Indie. merrily Apr 2015 #159

He did. tazkcmo Apr 2015 #181

Funny that some apparently heard only part of that. merrily Apr 2015 #182

We all know he's not going to go Nader on us. Ken Burch Apr 2015 #69

absolutely correct. He will either run as a Democrat or not run. We will know soon enough still_one Apr 2015 #128

No, several posters above are pushing the meme he will run as a spoiler with the help of the Kochs. Dragonfli Apr 2015 #132

That is ABSOLUTELY NOT what we are saying... Agschmid Apr 2015 #140

Good point. I've already seen RW bloggers suggesting that. JaneyVee Apr 2015 #81

It's a ridiculous point. smokey nj Apr 2015 #98

He can't make a decision? Really? What exactly are you basing that on? rhett o rick Apr 2015 #109

I thought he said he might run as a Dem, if he got support for that. merrily Apr 2015 #150
