Excellent question, synergie.. Cha Apr 2017 #84
Bernie isn't the problem. Ken Burch Apr 2017 #95
There is no disillusionment, merely people who are hearing his words and his synergie Apr 2017 #9
some of his supporters sure did. There were plenty of them last year calling Hillary and President still_one Apr 2017 #28
And there weren't for Hillary? FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #67

And you can view the venom here aimed at Bernie FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #72
Hillary was called the "c" word, and every other sexist vulgar term they could come up still_one Apr 2017 #74

Maybe you should put your bias away, because the characterizations used were far worse, and more still_one Apr 2017 #76

Beto endorsed Hillary in the primary. Labeling him a "Berniecrat" is a bit of Opportunism by the OP SaschaHM Apr 2017 #7
perhaps you may want to read this FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #15
THat still doesn't make him a "Berniecrat". Bernie Sanders didn't just wise up and invent these SaschaHM Apr 2017 #24
Bernie didn't invent the term either FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #69
And, Beto O'Rourke isn't one. Cha Apr 2017 #83
To his credit, he doesn't USE it either, mostly cause it's a divisive and ridiculous synergie Apr 2017 #90
Also, this "grass roots" movement worked best in caucus states with low turnout. LisaM Apr 2017 #77
Beto IS a Democrat. Ken Burch Apr 2017 #97

The sad epilogue was that Hurd defeated Gallego and was re-elected. Vogon_Glory Apr 2017 #60
That district is one of the congressional district found void by the redistricting panel Gothmog Apr 2017 #89
A lot of the good ol boys may hate Democrats right now, BUT Vogon_Glory Apr 2017 #31
So is he a Democrat? A third party Berniecrat? lamp_shade Apr 2017 #8
He's a democrat. THe OP was just being opportunistic with the "Berniecrat" label. SaschaHM Apr 2017 #25
Exactly.. argh. Cha Apr 2017 #44
That label is a way to emphasize and encourage division. It's cynical and suggests bitterness... NurseJackie Apr 2017 #51
O'Rourke is great Democrat who likes Hillary., Cha Apr 2017 #43
Berniecrat? Seriously? That's the word you choose? blogslut Apr 2017 #10
He should make a point of hitting every county in Texas. Blue_true Apr 2017 #11
That is his plan. All 254 counties. blogslut Apr 2017 #13
That's what he is is and campaigning on FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #16
Really. He uses that word himself? blogslut Apr 2017 #19
I'm sorry you have the problem with the word "Berniecrat" FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #22

I didn't ask for a White Knight did I? FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #38
It's a turnoff.. especially when we know he likes Hillary. Cha Apr 2017 #41
Do you have a problem with the word "Democrat"? It's also been around for a while synergie Apr 2017 #62
A candidate who refuses the easiest money and runs more on people power? Sure. Orsino Apr 2017 #65

He's a good Democrat who supported our nominee mcar Apr 2017 #26
You mean after the GE he didn't switch to independent, like someone I am aware of? still_one Apr 2017 #29
Let's put this to rest FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #39
Put "bernicrat" to rest.. it's divisive. Cha Apr 2017 #40
Absolutely, it's divisive. It's a way of declaring "superiority" ... it divides and weakens us... NurseJackie Apr 2017 #50
That's right.. "Meet Beto ORourke: A Liberal, Clinton-Loving Congressman Cha Apr 2017 #52
He's a smart man, isn't he? Personally speaking... NurseJackie Apr 2017 #56
I like this Beto O'Rourke... a brilliant Democrat! Cha Apr 2017 #57
But he told all those people that he'd remain a Democrat, and run in the future synergie Apr 2017 #61
I don't see it in Texas, not statewide. Best of luck! Alice11111 Apr 2017 #27
Excuse me, but gerrymandering only works for local races Vogon_Glory Apr 2017 #32
Thank you! Alice11111 Apr 2017 #37
Could a Henry Cuellar type Democrat win a Texas US Senate Race if he decided to run? nkpolitics1212 Apr 2017 #34
Maybe, if people were riled up enough to protest the Repubs Alice11111 Apr 2017 #35
