7. Yes, he has my vote.He represents what a president should be

Dec 2018

Even if he doesn't get the nomination he will make the entire venture more progressive for the entire party. A great candidate on any ticket and let us not forget according to all the polls he would have beaten Trump by a far greater margin than any other candidate uniting dems, independents and republicans. He made single payer a national agenda as well as free public college and income equality. He's an honest man of the people so he's good for what we all want with a tremendous energy level. But it's a long way off and I will wait till we have actual candidates to choose between. But yeah, he should run.

He would NOT have beaten trump, there is no concrete evidence that he would have. In order.... George II Dec 2018 #27

He went from nothing to serious opponent virtually overnight. guruoo Dec 2018 #57

Nor is there "concrete evidence" that he would 'not' have onit2day Dec 2018 #61

You have too much common sense for some in here LiberalLovinLug Dec 2018 #95

Well we'll never know, he wasn't our nominee. George II Dec 2018 #103

I may disagree with you on whether he could have beaten the douchenfuhrer rpannier Dec 2018 #109

The polls said the same thing about Hillary Clinton. cab67 Dec 2018 #111

Exactly. He was never vetted. The gop would have smeared him as a communist.. Kahuna7 Dec 2018 #101

As you said "Even if he doesn't get the nomination he will make the entire venture more progressive" tecelote Dec 2018 #59

Why not? It's about issues anyway and Bernie offers his own ideas about what the country needs. jalan48 Dec 2018 #8

So if he does NOT run as a Democrat, you still support his running? Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #10

I think anyone can run in the primary. jalan48 Dec 2018 #15

Which primary? Democratic primary? Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #23

Not at all. You're confusing the primary with the general election. jalan48 Dec 2018 #33

So you are possibly going to support a NON democrat in the primary? Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #68

Why make this personal? jalan48 Dec 2018 #89

Why not answer my question? I am not kidding around, either. Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #90

Good for you! I think if we focus on issues and not personalities we will have fewer problems. jalan48 Dec 2018 #91

Right, so if a candidate does NOT support a higher minimum wage or Medicare for all Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #93

I think we were originally talking about the primaries. Let's see who runs and debate the issues! jalan48 Dec 2018 #94

So there are 3 candidates in the 2020 election. Eliot Rosewater Dec 2018 #96

We just went through this. It's a no brainer. We have to support the Party nominee. jalan48 Dec 2018 #97

If it's a Democratic primary only declared Democrats can run. George II Dec 2018 #26

So all he'd have to do is declare as a Democrat? nt guruoo Dec 2018 #52

That's not all, he'd also have to comply with the rules of the Democratic Party.... George II Dec 2018 #53

Way too earily nt guruoo Dec 2018 #64

Now there's a concept... are you suggesting democracy?! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2018 #36
