Is he running? I would like him to run for Congress. Kind people sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #50

You finally raise a good idea...keep Bernie in the House Sheepshank Nov 2015 #55

Bernie Sanders is a 2nd term U.S. Senator. n/t JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #63

and your point? He actually served in both Houses n/t Sheepshank Nov 2015 #94

"Keep Bernie in the house" JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #105

yes...I agree. Sheepshank Nov 2015 #107

HE WORKS IN THE SENATE NOT THE HOUSE N/T JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #108

the senate IS one of the HOUSES. You're yelling but you are wrong Sheepshank Nov 2015 #109

Well if you want to quote Wikipedia JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #110

yes, The house of Representative is often referred to as the House. but maybe context would help Sheepshank Nov 2015 #111

. JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #112

I didn't think I had to clarify for those with poor knowledge, Sheepshank Nov 2015 #113

I didn't assume you meant Congress JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #114

ffs....you are still looking to me to clarify your misunderstanding. too bad Sheepshank Nov 2015 #117

He isn't in the House! Wow! He's a US Senator who has an excellent legislative record. But then if sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #69

Exposed for the little knowledge he has. artislife Nov 2015 #78

I'm assuming you knew that Bernie served in BOTH houses...right? Sheepshank Nov 2015 #91

You said KEEP. Present tense, sheep, present tense. artislife Nov 2015 #98

and the Senate is one of the houses...present tense. n/t Sheepshank Nov 2015 #99

And yet, common usage would have us use Senate and House separately. nt artislife Nov 2015 #100

but I was correct..you and others had tried to portray me as a dumb fool. Sheepshank Nov 2015 #101

heh! ohhhhkay.... artislife Nov 2015 #118

there are two houses..right? He served in both houses. And yes, I knew he was currently a Senator. Sheepshank Nov 2015 #89
