2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)New Hampshire PROBABLY WILL Allow Bernie Sanders on the Ballot. [View all]
He has the support of the Democratic Party chair in that state, and is nationally recognized as a Democratic candidate in the Primaries. It would be very difficult for the NH Secretary of State to justify not putting his name on the ballot. That would lead to a major uproar, and rightly so. I doubt very much that the NH SoS is an idiot. That seems very unlikely.
So, my conclusion is that Bernie's name WILL be on the ballot. It takes a real stretch to claim that it MAY NOT be.
Common sense rules, really. We don't need to go beyond that common sense unless something actually occurs. I don't understand the need for outrage when nothing has actually happened.

OK. Then I agree Sanders should be on the ballot, and any impediments removed.

Has Hillary called herself a Liberal? Last I heard it was Moderate. I could be wrong, I usually am.
