Interesting analysis - almost something archetypal at play, maybe? I have KingCharlemagne Jan 2016 #84

Hillary herself said several months ago that she is a moderate -- not a Akamai Jan 2016 #27

One day Sanders will be called upon... JohnnyRingo Jan 2016 #105

That's odd, because I haven't heard a single Sanders supporter claim anything of the sort. Indepatriot Jan 2016 #113

I was referring mainly to the items listed in the OP JohnnyRingo Jan 2016 #132

So we should go with the "insider" then, rather than making a stand for democracy? Indepatriot Jan 2016 #156

I "did something" back in '72 JohnnyRingo Jan 2016 #157

Feel free then, to let your fear make you vote for the Wall Street War Monger, Tuzla Annie..... Indepatriot Jan 2016 #160

Thank you JohnnyRingo Jan 2016 #170

I don't see Hillary ever even trying to enact the change the people want, so why not pick Bernie? cui bono Jan 2016 #120

If your question is do progresives.. reACTIONary Jan 2016 #118

My question was "by what measure is Hillary Clinton a "progressive"? Indepatriot Jan 2016 #124

Question for Hillary supporters INdemo Jan 2016 #130

And here we are being told that progresive values.... reACTIONary Jan 2016 #134

You didnt answer the question INdemo Jan 2016 #135

My response is to the article you attached . ... reACTIONary Jan 2016 #147

Thats nonsense INdemo Jan 2016 #152

If I remember correctly.... reACTIONary Jan 2016 #133

I don't believe Mr. Rosevelt is currently seeking the nomination, so it's a moot point... Indepatriot Jan 2016 #155

It's not mote if you list.... reACTIONary Jan 2016 #162

Ideologically pure? CoffeeCat Jan 2016 #15

Who in the world cares what people who live in red states think of our Democratic candidates. JDPriestly Jan 2016 #45

News flash. All states count in the primaries redstateblues Jan 2016 #90

Bernie isn't a Democrat. He has never had the stomach for the hard work of working inside KittyWampus Jan 2016 #73

Bernie was too busy organizing with SNCC (rather than supporting Barry "Nuke 'am all" Goldwater) - n KingCharlemagne Jan 2016 #85

"It's the economy, stupid"... was the ploy... MrMickeysMom Jan 2016 #53

Yep. Manifestor_of_Light Jan 2016 #54

Right. JDPriestly Jan 2016 #51

Interestingly, Carter was not liked by the BlueMTexpat Jan 2016 #63

I was a Teddy Kennedy delegate to my state convention in 1980. Manifestor_of_Light Jan 2016 #98

As pointed out, Carter was not at all the candidate of the far-Left or Progressives. KittyWampus Jan 2016 #74

True, Bernie was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, as was FDR. That FDR managed to KingCharlemagne Jan 2016 #86

12% is enough to make HRC lose the election, so maybe don't write us off as fringe. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #154
