so long as he attacks Trump instead of Clinton so be it. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #1
Was just about to say the same... JaneyVee Mar 2016 #8
There it is. MohRokTah Mar 2016 #32
the attacks stopped when the voting stopped. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #34
Is it possible.... daleanime Mar 2016 #151
why does he need to talk about Hillary at all? He should sell his own campaign geek tragedy Mar 2016 #153
So that's a no. daleanime Mar 2016 #155
That's what he's been doing the whole time. HerbChestnut Mar 2016 #157
blaming Hillary for the Deepwater Horizon disaster and Detroit's economic geek tragedy Mar 2016 #158
I don't know when he said anything about the BP spill, but... HerbChestnut Mar 2016 #160
Detroit was hosed before Hillary Clinton ever took elected office. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #161
I don't give a **** what the WP has to say HerbChestnut Mar 2016 #168
There's no requirement for an armistice... Orsino Mar 2016 #169
I don't really care how long he stays in firebrand80 Mar 2016 #2
As long as Bernie is in it helps the Democratic Party SHRED Mar 2016 #3
Good point! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #4
But if that additional airtime is used to bash Hillary, not Trump, it's just free advertising for Empowerer Mar 2016 #28
He will stay in because... SHRED Mar 2016 #5
Is that what they are so afraid of? That he will somehow damage the party platform? GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #6
Our concern is that he will continue to attack Hillary instead of pushing his message hack89 Mar 2016 #9
As long as the primary isn't over, he should contrast himself with Hillary... TCJ70 Mar 2016 #10
We will soon reach the point where he has no reasonable path to the nomination hack89 Mar 2016 #13
Backlash by whom against what exactly? You still haven't clearly explained how he can hurt her or GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #18
So any damage Bernie does to Hillary in the primary magically disappears? hack89 Mar 2016 #21
Specific charges would be helpful, here. What shit slinging? If you mean things like GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #23
He should push his message with no mention of Hillary hack89 Mar 2016 #31
Meh - most of the damage done to her has been from herself. Fawke Em Mar 2016 #25
And Bernie can damage his image if he is not careful hack89 Mar 2016 #33
And Hillary would do the same for him, right? GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #148
If he was the nominee, yes. hack89 Mar 2016 #149
What "damage" can Bernie do? SHRED Mar 2016 #27
Supporting RW attacks against her will not be well received hack89 Mar 2016 #37
Specifically SHRED Mar 2016 #46
Why the need to even criticize her once it is clear she will be the nominee? hack89 Mar 2016 #49
Hahah RANGERMAN89 Mar 2016 #55
Really, you used carpet bagger? You do remember that's what Hillary was called when she moved to NY peacebird Mar 2016 #127
They're NOT right wing attacks Politicalboi Mar 2016 #131
If he's telling the truth, any damage is HER fault. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #39
Propping up RW attacks will not go over well hack89 Mar 2016 #41
Telling the truth is a "RW attack" now? Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #44
When only the repukes will benefit it has to make one wonder why he would do it. hack89 Mar 2016 #50
Again, it's not only about winning and simple dichotomies. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #54
Yes it is - putting a Democrat in the White House is all that it is about. nt hack89 Mar 2016 #58
To (some) Democrats, sure. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #60
I suspect you have sufficient privilege to prosper in a Trump presidency hack89 Mar 2016 #63
Nice false dichotomy! Any other fallacies in the pipeline I should know about? Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #64
You don't seem too concerned about a Trump presidency. Why is that? nt hack89 Mar 2016 #65
Because that's your own, entirely fabricated internal construction, that's why. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #66
You are a Democrat so I will assume the best about you hack89 Mar 2016 #68
I am nothing of the sort, actually. I'm an independent progressive. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #70
It's your vote. nt hack89 Mar 2016 #71
Yeah...and it annoys me no end that it will be meaningless, even if I cast it. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #72
As a voter in a small state, I like the electoral college nt hack89 Mar 2016 #73
I'm in a small state, too (7 electors). I hate it. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #74
Better to open those wounds now Politicalboi Mar 2016 #132
It is too late for Bernie now hack89 Mar 2016 #146
Anything not fluffing Hillary up as a saint is a "RW attack". peacebird Mar 2016 #129
The longer Sanders stays in the race, the longer she will have to pretend to be a Democrat tularetom Mar 2016 #53
He is not a fool nor an idiot so it is unlikely he will follow your advice hack89 Mar 2016 #57
He isn't likely to do anything that will disappoint "people like me" tularetom Mar 2016 #67
So when he endorses and campaigns for Hillary you will approve? Good. nt hack89 Mar 2016 #69

Because the voters in the states that haven't voted yet don't deserve a choice. CrispyQ Mar 2016 #133
Finish the primaries! Everyone should get to vote! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #144
Hence the point of point 3. He can't damage her. She is a well known politician. It's all already GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #11
So he has every incentive to campaign on a positive message hack89 Mar 2016 #15
Seems to me that he has to contrast himself KPN Mar 2016 #59
Once he has no chance of winning then he needs to shift to a positive message hack89 Mar 2016 #62
Oh boy you think Sanders has been negative with her? nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #83
Hillary can handled Trump hack89 Mar 2016 #85
LMAO nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #86
So you don't think Bernie will endorse Hillary? Why is that? nt hack89 Mar 2016 #87
Please do not put words in my mouth, ok nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #89
Bernie supporters are really bad political prognosticators hack89 Mar 2016 #90
I will correct you nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #93
I never said Bernie ran a dirty campaign - he is an extremely honorable man hack89 Mar 2016 #95
There is the problem nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #97
ok. nt hack89 Mar 2016 #98
blah blah blah KPN Mar 2016 #150
Bingo! The Clinton people are acting as if Bernie is calling for her to be indicted over the emails Jim Lane Mar 2016 #92
Why stay in if not to win? whatchamacallit Mar 2016 #79
The point will soon come when he has no chance to win hack89 Mar 2016 #81
That point comes after June 7 nt k8conant Mar 2016 #156
Not really hack89 Mar 2016 #159
History is then. Now is now. k8conant Mar 2016 #163
Time will tell. nt hack89 Mar 2016 #166
The common theme this season is that his candidacy moved her left... TCJ70 Mar 2016 #7
Personally, I think he moved the dialogue left, not her. Her supporters have GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #14
Definitely... TCJ70 Mar 2016 #17
Right, which is why she's likely to lose to the Republican nominee. Fawke Em Mar 2016 #26
I'm actually a Dem now. Hell froze over for me when Bernie signed on to run. LOL GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #30
If he's getting face-to-faces and phone numbers I want him to stay in as long as possible Recursion Mar 2016 #12
Agreed! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #19
His staying in is a good thing, my dear GreenPartyVoter! CaliforniaPeggy Mar 2016 #16
Thanks, NursePeggy! They aren't getting me down. I am just trying to help lessen GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #20
Goal, intent is tear apart our candidate, tear apart the Democratic Party. You don't get the harm? seabeyond Mar 2016 #22
Many aren't voting for Hillary no matter what because their conscience prevents it. Zira Mar 2016 #116
Do you think I give a shit about those that are willing to let women and girls die... because they seabeyond Mar 2016 #130

Nice affirmation of the consequent. VulgarPoet Mar 2016 #165
And your pogo stick, migraine insults stops me reading instantly. seabeyond Mar 2016 #167
It's not. Fawke Em Mar 2016 #24
You could be right! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #35
I believe the newest meme is that Bernie should stay in the race - BUT be actually campaigning djean111 Mar 2016 #29
So many memes, my head is spinning from them all! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #36
Sanders has dropped a lot of of his attacks on Clinton, if you haven't noticed geek tragedy Mar 2016 #38
Sanders should be actually campaigning against Trump on behalf of himself and us. k8conant Mar 2016 #162
Well, it is a boon for the Political-Industrial Complex. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #40
Yep. We desperately need publicly financed elections. GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #43
Not going to happen in our lifetime. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #47
Which would require a vastly different Congress. GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #52
There's an option available apparently shadowandblossom Mar 2016 #109
It is a wreck as it stands now. Before his passing, my Dad planned to run for our state GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #110
Bernie and his supporters should completely disregard Hillary supporters Trajan Mar 2016 #42
Most days I do exactly that, especially when the forum is particularly fractious. GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #48
Agreed. I think it is great that Bernie stays in through convention. AgadorSparticus Mar 2016 #45
Yes, we need to keep Trump out of there, but honestly I shudder at the thought of any Repub winning! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #51
I don't care how long he stays, as long as the negativity towards Hillary stops. He sould stay lunamagica Mar 2016 #56
If he lets up on her and she lurches to the right, GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #61
because it's a full democracy, and like in Honduras sometimes a country MisterP Mar 2016 #75
Well, I am not sure what you mean by 'full' democracy or 'too democratic.' I was GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #96
in a full democracy candidates run to win rather than to build up a following MisterP Mar 2016 #100
OK, I am following you now, thanks! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #103
It is simple (as with most things): They are deathly afraid that Hillary will lose. Kip Humphrey Mar 2016 #76
It could be! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #120
Because Bernie has spoken about the contents of her baggage car and will continue to do so. Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #77
They don't seem to like that, but it's not like the Repubs won't, and it will be far worse GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #135
Naw. Trump is known for his gentlemanly ways and will politely overlook her "mistakes". Tierra_y_Libertad Mar 2016 #140
Yes, he is so charming and all! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #141
If Bernie is trying to influence the platform, why do we not hear how he wants to change the Thinkingabout Mar 2016 #78
Those "talking points" are about the issues, and it seems like GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #82
We may see the same talking points, I doubt the DNC is going to go for Medicare for All Thinkingabout Mar 2016 #91
He says she is better than the Repubs and won't run as an Indy. My guess is that at the end of the GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #94
They have this deluded notion ibegurpard Mar 2016 #80
Very true! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #111
Bernie is staying for delegate counts nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #84
Yes, would be nice to finish voting first! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #134
Yup. Sure seems that way. KPN Mar 2016 #152
Beautiful OP. K & R senz Mar 2016 #88
Thank you so much! That was my aim! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #108
Bad candidates don't like being exposed ThePhilosopher04 Mar 2016 #99
Well, this is true, but I am sure most of her supporters don't see her that way. GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #112
He should stay in! Dem2 Mar 2016 #101
I think so, too! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #137
I think he should stay in and stay focused on exposing the power of the financial elites. blm Mar 2016 #102
Agreed! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #139
The fact is that we could be using the time we have right now to show the country stopbush Mar 2016 #104
Let's say we do that. How, exactly, do you a) expect to get Hillary elected, and b) get her GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #106
First of all, Hillary is under no obligation whatsoever to adopt Bernie's ideas, stopbush Mar 2016 #114
So the "unity platform" thing threw me. That's where I got the idea that maybe you meant Hillary GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #115
The unity platform is in response to the chaos platform being exhibited by the Rs. stopbush Mar 2016 #117
Why not have Hillary endorse Bernie, then? GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #118
Why? She's killing him. stopbush Mar 2016 #119
Maybe he will endorse her at the convention if he loses? That should suffice, yes? GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #121

In the past about the only time that a candidate went to the jwirr Mar 2016 #105
Good point! GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #107
Maybe they worry that Bernie will dump a bucket of Hondurans' blood on her John Poet Mar 2016 #113

So you disagree with my post, then. Got it. GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #123
It's not. And she can't win the GE because a lot of her own party won't vote for her. Zira Mar 2016 #124
I think so too. GreenPartyVoter Mar 2016 #143
