(34,105 posts)Sanders does not need the big money now. He is well known enough, has enough coverage to get out his message that he will not need much more than he can get by asking for it.
I am hoping he does not run. I really want to see younger people come up and take on the big jobs in the Democratic party. I think if Bernie runs it will be a mess. However he has every right to run, there is no one running with his issues and he is committed to them. I think if he can find that there is someone running with the issues he thinks are the most important he will back away. I don't think he would have run the last time if EW had, at least I think I remember that he said that but then my memory is not as good as it used to be. How that man can do what he does when he is 10 years older than I am is beyond me, another reason I think he should not run.
I will be forever grateful for him expressing the very important issues that he has and continues to express. If it upsets the Democrats it is time for them to stop blaming him and figure their way around it. The stupid, constant harping on a man who ran a campaign that was his right to run is stunning to me. It is not up to him to change to fit them it is for them to figure how to run around him and win. Will they? Can they? I hope they are working on it because he is certainly not going to change.
