In reply to the discussion: HOW BERNIE SANDERS IDEAS ARE WINNING IN THE TRUMP ERA [View all]MineralMan
(146,295 posts)I'm just rolling on the floor about this thread, for sure. Here's the thing: Everyone here likes Bernie Sanders. Like all of the Democratic members of the Senate, he's working to help prevent Trump from destroying the country. That's a very good thing.
We know that. We appreciate his hard work and hope he continues to work with the Democratic caucus. If he runs for the Senate again in 2018, we'll be rooting for him to win.
However, he's just one Senator. He can't defeat Trump single-handedly, nor is he any more powerful than the individual Democrats in the Senate.
Good for Bernie! Nobody here hates Bernie. We never have. He ran a valiant primary race for the presidential nomination. Democratic voters chose Hillary Clinton, instead, and that's all history now.
Personally, I'm focused on the Senate Intelligence Committee right now. Bernie's not on that committee, and that's where the action is at the moment in the Senate. What do you think of the Democrats on that committee?
