FORGET IT.

WTF? NT Shipwack May 2018 #1
Think. He'd have done this if he'd won our presidential nom. in 2016. brush May 2018 #2
He does this in lots of elections it seems WhiteTara May 2018 #4
I'm sorry, but you'd be wrong RhodeIslandOne May 2018 #7
No, RIO WhiteTara May 2018 #19
"...the most popular Senator running for re-election this year IN HIS HOME STATE"!!! George II May 2018 #25
The Party should replace sanders on the ballot if he pulls this stunt Gothmog May 2018 #34
The Party has been going along with This Stunt shanny May 2018 #35
The Vermont party is making a major mistake Gothmog May 2018 #42
A "mistake" they have made before shanny May 2018 #43
Bingo. "Real" Democrats are fine with this. thesquanderer May 2018 #45
No, they're not. No "real" Democrats are OK with this stevenleser May 2018 #55
What silly game? I explained what I meant by "real Dems" in first line. thesquanderer May 2018 #61
Bingo is right!! Those Democrats you describe support Bernie as a Democrat InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #76
That's what he's done the whole time. BlueTsunami2018 May 2018 #3
"around here"? Around where? George II May 2018 #26
You mean besides the fact that he promised not to do it? stevenleser May 2018 #31
Link for those claims, please? thesquanderer May 2018 #46
Here you go stevenleser May 2018 #52
An interview comment from Jeff Weaver does not equal... thesquanderer May 2018 #62
Yes, it does equal a promise from Bernie Sanders. That's how that works, particularly since stevenleser May 2018 #66
So anything a Hillary spokesperson said during the campaign... thesquanderer May 2018 #70
Correct, that's how that works. Particularly if the candidate doesn't correct it. stevenleser May 2018 #73
Oh, right is right!! InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #77
I think this is a duplicate thread of this one flibbitygiblets May 2018 #5
Go Home and Stay There, Bernie luc mont May 2018 #6
WEll Welcome To You luc mont Me. May 2018 #29
What does this even mean? Bucky May 2018 #8
It means nothing. The Vermont Democratic party has been fine with this since the early 90's RhodeIslandOne May 2018 #10
It's a big middle finger to anyone who cares about the Democratic Party stevenleser May 2018 #57
only democrats in the democratic primary. which real democrats will run in this primary nt msongs May 2018 #9
It's Really Past Time for Bernie to Make a Decision or Get Off the Potty dlk May 2018 #11
I didn't realizing using the Democratic platform wastes money..... RhodeIslandOne May 2018 #12
Using the Democratic Primary system and then throwing away the results sounds like a waste of money SFnomad May 2018 #17
Precisely Sherman A1 May 2018 #38
Interesting logic. I'd vote for him in a primary again truthisfreedom May 2018 #13
Who are we to tell Vermont what to do? left-of-center2012 May 2018 #14
IKR!! InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #28
So everyone else should shut up? You're against free speech? stevenleser May 2018 #32
You're enjoying this, aren't you? mac56 May 2018 #37
Thanks for the laugh ! left-of-center2012 May 2018 #50
Ok so you are taking it back and everyone's opinion on this is valuable stevenleser May 2018 #56
Oh hell no ! left-of-center2012 May 2018 #58
So you really are telling everyone else to shut up. Thanks for clarifying. nt stevenleser May 2018 #59
Oh hell no #2 left-of-center2012 May 2018 #60
Oh hell yes. If you can't defend your position, maybe your position is the issue. nt stevenleser May 2018 #68
Yup Sherman A1 May 2018 #39
I'd pretend it's a good point too if my bias depended on it. LanternWaste May 2018 #71
I don't think discussion is akin to a command. LanternWaste May 2018 #69
What? mcar May 2018 #15
It looks to me like he puts a D after his name when he wants to use party resources. CaptainTruth May 2018 #16
Bammo Bingo Me. May 2018 #30
Shouldn't be allowed. Either you run as Democrat or you run independent. iluvtennis May 2018 #18
Then move to Vermont Sherman A1 May 2018 #40
Or discuss it on a message board... LanternWaste May 2018 #72
Like iluvtennis May 2018 #82
Rank Choice Voting could be the answer. Equinox Moon May 2018 #20
I don't get the last paragraph - there have long been states with open primaries karynnj May 2018 #21
He wants all states to have open primaries. nt pnwmom May 2018 #22
The Vermont party should require its candidates to accept the nomination if they win. nt pnwmom May 2018 #23
As far as I am concerned if he has any presidential ambitions in 2020 to run as a Democrat, he can still_one May 2018 #24
Another Politico hitpiece. Why didn't this come up KPN May 2018 #27
You mean besides the fact that in 2016 he promised he was a Democrat to stay? stevenleser May 2018 #33
Did he? What did he say exactly and when? KPN May 2018 #36
as I remember Sanders exact statement- he said "Stay in the Democratic party" Sunlei May 2018 #47
Here you go stevenleser May 2018 #53
Didn't answer the question. What did Sanders KPN May 2018 #63
As with all politicians, their campaign staff relays promises from them. That is a Sanders promise. stevenleser May 2018 #67
Precisely Sherman A1 May 2018 #41
Yup -- all political. KPN May 2018 #64
same as " in his 2006 and 2012 Senate races" Sunlei May 2018 #44
Which is more important? melm00se May 2018 #48
Labels. Without solidarity in the party you get Trump and George W Bush. nt stevenleser May 2018 #54
So lack of labels gave us Trump and GW? KPN May 2018 #65
Yes, that's exactly what I am saying. stevenleser May 2018 #74
Lol. Hurts my credibility?! That's rich. KPN May 2018 #75
By all means continue to play the straw man game. Nt stevenleser May 2018 #83
Well said! Sherman A1 May 2018 #79
he is not a democrat heaven05 May 2018 #49
spot on onetexan May 2018 #81
Thanks for nothing, Bernie. As usual. (nt) Paladin May 2018 #51
If true, he just lost one person who was open minded about him. HopeAgain May 2018 #78
Just remember that success, excellence, etc. wasn't enough to stop Bernie Blue_Tires May 2018 #80
I assume this is to avoid a three way race? -nt Bradical79 May 2018 #84
