Slimey. Jill Stein offers Bernie "collaberation" on third party ticket. [View all] liberalnarb Mar 2016 OP

Bernie is a true patriot, so no chance he does this. Unlike some, Bernie, if he loses, Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #1

Being a patriot is not a synonym for supporting Hillary. I'm sure merrily Mar 2016 #7

Bernie will support Hillary, period. And you know it. Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #11

Whether Bernie supports HIllary or not was not what I posted about. I posted about your merrily Mar 2016 #12

Ok. Whatever. HDS. NT Adrahil Mar 2016 #214

Do you have any idea what specifically she meant by "collaboration?" I don't. merrily Mar 2016 #2

The Greens are a pain in the ass in my opinion. They've always had a holier than thou attitude. liberalnarb Mar 2016 #23

"A Stein/Sander collaboration". It's prety obvious, IMO. She wants him to be her VP lunamagica Mar 2016 #31

No, it's not obvious .that statement can be read at least 20 ways, including, merrily Mar 2016 #32

She tweeted Stein/Sanders? I thought she only said she offered him a collaboration. merrily Mar 2016 #43

Heres the tweet: liberalnarb Mar 2016 #47

She said "collaboration," not "presidential run." senz Mar 2016 #137

Uh huh, and uh, what do you think liberalnarb Mar 2016 #142

It's sure as hell not a campaign slogan. senz Mar 2016 #148

Collaberation is a code word. The only offer she would give him is running mate. liberalnarb Mar 2016 #151

No. See post #19 senz Mar 2016 #155

Pfft. No it doesn't. That's absurd. senz Mar 2016 #136

Bernie is not going to do this, and Jill knows it. Think of the offer as Zorra Mar 2016 #3

I think she knows about the efforts to drive out Bernie supporters before he's run. dogman Mar 2016 #4
