No. Kentonio May 2017 #1

How do you feel about Bernie running again when this term is up? nt JTFrog May 2017 #45

That's his decision to make. Vermont is his home state and he has served them loyally for many years Kentonio May 2017 #49

Lol! JTFrog May 2017 #50

I'm confused by why you think there's any comparison Kentonio May 2017 #51

Lol. JTFrog May 2017 #55

Well you're the one creating a Sanders comparison Kentonio May 2017 #58

Because I know there is nothing that would make you say Sanders shouldn't and nothing JTFrog May 2017 #60

Not really, I just think we have a broad field of talent in the party Kentonio May 2017 #62

I agree with you....... kerry-is-my-prez May 2017 #82

There is NO comparison - Hillary is far more qualified. This isn't about seniority. Lil Missy May 2017 #142

I'd call 8 terms in the house and many years of mayoral experience Kentonio May 2017 #145

And how would he run again? As a Democrat? Or independent? Green? Lil Missy May 2017 #143

I agree janterry May 2017 #126

did she say she wanted to? i'm pretty sure i heard her say multiple times that all she wanted to be La Lioness Priyanka May 2017 #2

When a woman says no, do people respect that? bettyellen May 2017 #9

No kidding Blue_Adept May 2017 #14

Yeah, but asking if she wants to run for Senate lets people express ehrnst May 2017 #18

She should wait for the next Dem to appoint her to the SCOTUS Tiggeroshii May 2017 #13

In what way is she the most qualified progressive jurist in the country? Kentonio May 2017 #42

She would be an EXCELLENT justice. american_ideals May 2017 #44

I don't need to watch it. Kentonio May 2017 #48

HRC would be perfect. Several arguments below. american_ideals May 2017 #64

I should have made it clear in the OP: Who said anything about New York? kristopher May 2017 #19

People don't like a carpetbagger crazycatlady May 2017 #21

But she won, didn't she. kristopher May 2017 #22

So you were uniformed but still need to stick to the "ambitious carpetbagger" crap you fell for? bettyellen May 2017 #92

You do realize I grew up and voted for her reelection crazycatlady May 2017 #93

It wasn't clear that you regretted the vote- since you framed her candidacy in such a negative light bettyellen May 2017 #94

My point was that when her first campaign happened crazycatlady May 2017 #95
