Paul isn't going to seduce Bernie supporters away Art_from_Ark Nov 2015 #8

"Bernie supporters might also be concerned that Paul would manage to seduce them away." tazkcmo Nov 2015 #9

Well, it's been working the other way too: Paul has lost supporters to Sanders. Hortensis Nov 2015 #13

I took no offense at your "poke". tazkcmo Nov 2015 #14

Bad idea trumad Nov 2015 #5

IMO Good idea. Bernie is already unfairly straddled with the term "socialism" think Nov 2015 #7

Is "socialism" a bad word? Dawgs Nov 2015 #11

You keep using it like it's a bad word. Rogue Democrat Nov 2015 #12

Definitely too many anti-social Americans for that to happen. GeorgeGist Nov 2015 #37

Those with Clinton avatars sure are eager to saddle him with it. Goblinmonger Nov 2015 #28

Frankly, Bernie should treat Rand like something that... JHB Nov 2015 #10

I say Bernie should take him up on it. Smarmie Doofus Nov 2015 #15

Don't you mean.... daleanime Nov 2015 #30

Ron Paul is Getting Desperate gordyfl Nov 2015 #16

Rand, not Ron oberliner Nov 2015 #17

This reminds me of the Anarcho-Capitalist's demand that Paul Krugman debate Robert Murphy. HughBeaumont Nov 2015 #18

Bernie has nothing to gain by agreeing Javaman Nov 2015 #19

Paul needs a publicity stunt far more than Bernie does muriel_volestrangler Nov 2015 #20

Man I would pay per view this! WaitWut Nov 2015 #21

I'd like to see that...BUT.... joeybee12 Nov 2015 #24

I would definitely watch it (nt) Nye Bevan Nov 2015 #25

Speaking of which, what happened to Sanders' seminal speech of Democratic Socialism? brooklynite Nov 2015 #35

Would be great. However, Bernie doesn't represent an ideological expreme. mmonk Nov 2015 #36

I think Bernie should take the challenge. kentuck Nov 2015 #39

Paul would find Bernie's "socialism" is what most Americans believe is good capitalism Johonny Nov 2015 #40

A guy polling about 4% in his party wants a one-on-one with a guy polling 30% in the other party? DFW Nov 2015 #42
