Cornel West is a bad surrogate for Sanders Gothmog Jan 2016 #35

So tired of hearing Hillary fans lecturing on how the Bernie campaign should be run Kentonio Jan 2016 #58

That's a big problem with the Sanders campaign Empowerer Jan 2016 #60

Nothing he said or did would make a difference to you Kentonio Jan 2016 #65

There is an old saying that I believe in Gothmog Jan 2016 #72

We will. Sanders has loyalty for the people who campaign for him. Kentonio Jan 2016 #73

I've been saying this a while. Cornel West is not a good surrogate, there are many better. highprincipleswork Jan 2016 #57

Not a chance Bernie would cut loose someone who has worked hard for him like that. Kentonio Jan 2016 #59

He doesn't need to "cut him loose"- just use him for something else besides outreach to black folk Empowerer Jan 2016 #62

'Most'? How are you quantifying that? Kentonio Jan 2016 #66

There seems to be something to be listened to here. highprincipleswork Jan 2016 #71
