'The solutions are impractical and unachievable.'... RiverNoord Mar 2016 #100

He does not have the ability to get it done bravenak Mar 2016 #102

Bernie Sanders' legislative record is vastly more impressive than that of Senator Hillary Clinton's RiverNoord Mar 2016 #118

Oh? bravenak Mar 2016 #121

'Hardcore?' Are we street gangs fighting over who gets to hang out on an intersection? RiverNoord Mar 2016 #131

What??? RiverNoord Mar 2016 #94

He's holding campaign events instead. How is that "giving up"? arcane1 Mar 2016 #2

Good grief... this is a big event. DCBob Mar 2016 #3

Um, campaign events are generally planned around primaries, etc. Not random. arcane1 Mar 2016 #9

No doubt Bernie will trudge on. DCBob Mar 2016 #71

Actually, speaking against AIPAC would be the bigger opportunity JackRiddler Mar 2016 #61

Exactly. DCBob Mar 2016 #62

Oh so pandering to AIPAC, which is a lobbying group, is more choie Mar 2016 #104

Who said anything about pandering?? DCBob Mar 2016 #105
