43. What nonsense

Mon Nov 27, 2017, 02:01 AM

Nov 2017

He's just the guy who came closest to the last nomination without winning it. He won't run third party for the same reason he didn't in 2016. The same article in 2005 would have tapped Hillary, in 2001 would have tapped somebody other than Kerry...

Let's talk about 2018 first. Stop excessive focus on the top of the ticket, especially this far out (it's important, but not all-important, as the gerrymandered Congress and R-controlled state houses should tell us all).

If Sanders makes it to the general election with a (D) by his name, he has my vote. Ditto for Biden, Harris, Warren, Gillibrand... the list goes on. Doesn't matter today who among them would be my first choice; I'll figure that out once we see who runs and when primary season is upon us. I have my favorites, you probably do too, but we have a lot more important things to do now than this.

Sanders Likely to Face Donald Trump in 2020 Election [View all] quartz007 Nov 2017 OP

The Hill loves to divide Dems with bullshit. If he can't continue to hide his tax returns.... bettyellen Nov 2017 #1

Trump as a third party candidate? guillaumeb Nov 2017 #3

I know it's confusing for you, but Sanders also hid his tax returns and is not a member of the two bettyellen Nov 2017 #8

Confusing for someone because Sanders released his returns. guillaumeb Nov 2017 #20

He did not release any FULL returns. Both he and Trump had summaries released- bettyellen Nov 2017 #22

More important in my view are actual progressive positions on issues. guillaumeb Nov 2017 #23

So when your nonsense is debunked, you change the subject. Taxes are THE issue this week.... bettyellen Nov 2017 #25

And your method is revealed. And your beliefs. Welcome to them. eom guillaumeb Nov 2017 #27

Says the person who pretended Sanders released his returns, LOL... bettyellen Nov 2017 #29

LOL. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2017 #63

Why is Sander's taxes an issue? quartz007 Dec 2017 #72

There's no "evidence" because we know NOTHING about his taxes or who has paid him. This was an bettyellen Dec 2017 #78

I agree, Bernie has never wavered in his support for, and leadership on, issues InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #31

He talks about transparency but has not walked the walk... bettyellen Nov 2017 #67

Transparency is a progressive position. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #35

Who is 100% transparent? An impossible standard. eom guillaumeb Nov 2017 #68

I never said anyone was one hundred percent transparent. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #69

Isn't transparency one of those issues? lunamagica Nov 2017 #38

No he didn't. George II Nov 2017 #47

No he didn't. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #58

And 2014 was not a full return. But it fooled a lot of people into thinking he'd been bettyellen Nov 2017 #66

No. He only released a 2-page summary of a single return, with none of the supporting pages. pnwmom Nov 2017 #70

Why you worry about Sander's taxes? quartz007 Dec 2017 #73

Because if he runs again he needs to release them -- or else he will have zero standing pnwmom Dec 2017 #74

Agree 100% about DT quartz007 Dec 2017 #75

But Sanders can't pressure DT about this as long as he refuses to share his. n/t pnwmom Dec 2017 #80

We deserve to know about both. Gotta fight the degradation and bring back standards! And norms. bettyellen Dec 2017 #90
