I'm wondering if he signed the DNC oath yet. All candidates who want to run under the Democratic banner were to have met with representatives of the DNC this week and sign it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

So glad to see MSNBC cover Bernie's speech: They loved covering 45 last time.... [View all] lindysalsagal Mar 2019 OP

Looks like Bernie is using the GOP playbook itsrobert Mar 2019 #1

They are in front of him too. Video, pics and all that. Autumn Mar 2019 #2

I watched on CNN. sheshe2 Mar 2019 #77

Did you go through all of the close to 13 thousand in the audience? Autumn Mar 2019 #78

I hear the counts a tad lower than that Autumn. sheshe2 Mar 2019 #88

Well we all hear something she. I didn't bother to check the race of people in the stands Autumn Mar 2019 #91

You did. sheshe2 Mar 2019 #92

They were in the feed I watched she. In the front, on the stand and in the crowd. Autumn Mar 2019 #94

You too, Autumn. sheshe2 Mar 2019 #95

Are you actually watching this or just making things up? hedda_foil Mar 2019 #4

Live on CNN itsrobert Mar 2019 #7

Toss away line. Like the screeching about his taxes before his announcement and since. Autumn Mar 2019 #8

Asking to see BS's taxes is "screeching"? Were Democrats "screeching" about Trump's taxes lapucelle Mar 2019 #17

Bernie said he will release them and he will. No worries, I'll screech if he doesn't. Autumn Mar 2019 #19

Did the record skip? TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #35

People in real life don't care or give a shit, the nominee usually releases his taxes. Autumn Mar 2019 #37

Au contraire, I never underestimate the curiosity of other people. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #43

Thank you. sheshe2 Mar 2019 #46

Why am I changing the topic? I'm not, you and others changed the topic from Bernie's rally Autumn Mar 2019 #47

This is so disheartening blue cat Mar 2019 #55

Has Julian Castro released his tax returns? I never said Bernie didn't have to. Autumn Mar 2019 #56

Dih blue cat Mar 2019 #73

Has Julian Castro released his tax returns yet? nt Autumn Mar 2019 #74

Until then... lapucelle Mar 2019 #63

Warren and Harris have released theirs. Who else in our field of presidential candidates Autumn Mar 2019 #68

Warren, Harris, and Gillibrand. Seventeen years of Biden's returns are already available lapucelle Mar 2019 #82

So several haven't released their tax returns yet. That's what I thought. Autumn Mar 2019 #84

There are only two people who also ran in 2016 who didn't release then and haven't released now. lapucelle Mar 2019 #87

The operative word there is "yet". lapucelle Mar 2019 #97

Exactly. Bernie has not yet released his tax returns. He says he will, "will" Autumn Mar 2019 #98

Never in 2016...not yet this time around. lapucelle Mar 2019 #100

Yes they do care, and mostly BECAUSE, as you say, "the nominee usually releases his taxes".... George II Mar 2019 #64

Bernie said he will be releasing his and I'm sure he will . He released this in 2015 Autumn Mar 2019 #66

FUCKING STUNNING to hear the word "screeching" associated with releasing taxes Eliot Rosewater Mar 2019 #51

Have any of the other Democratic candidates released their tax returns? mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #58

Yeah I asked that too. Still waiting . Autumn Mar 2019 #67

In the past all have except for two. Elizabeth Warren has already released 10 years... George II Mar 2019 #69

Of our candidates who have released their tax returns other than Liz? nt Autumn Mar 2019 #72

And when Bernie DOES release his tax returns, of course, that won't be good enough... InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #83

... lapucelle Mar 2019 #101

Watching. Why suspect anything else? I'm undecided because I'm voting DEM regardless. lindysalsagal Mar 2019 #9

Give me a break. I have been to Bernie rallies. vsrazdem Mar 2019 #5

I'm wondering why he chose Brooklyn for this event. He hasn't lived there for more than 50 years. George II Mar 2019 #13

Probably because it would be difficult to establish a sea of diverse faces... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #20

He went to college there, he grew up there? Why not? Autumn Mar 2019 #21

He went to college for one year, then transferred to the University of Chicago. George II Mar 2019 #24

He grew up there, he went to school there. That's an issue? Autumn Mar 2019 #25

The first chance he got he moved up to Vermont. George II Mar 2019 #27

So what. The first chance I got I moved out of Texas. Autumn Mar 2019 #34

Bernie will be in Chicago tomorrow. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #32

that's where he was born RazBerryBeret Mar 2019 #33

+1 BannonsLiver Mar 2019 #16

Any word about his tax returns? NurseJackie Mar 2019 #3

He hasn't had time to dig em out jcgoldie Mar 2019 #10

I use turbotax, like Jane does. Last night I "dug" mine out for 15 of the last 19 years... George II Mar 2019 #11

I can think of only one reason not to release them, only one. Eliot Rosewater Mar 2019 #52

"Soon", Jackie, "soon". George II Mar 2019 #12

+1000 Power 2 the People Mar 2019 #6

Yes, I feel the Bern. He'll help to keep progressive issues front and center. Bluepinky Mar 2019 #14

What's REALLY unhelpful is when someone accuses the Democratic party of being "feeble" or "corrupt". NurseJackie Mar 2019 #18

While I assume you can cite instances of these, I haven't heard them. lindysalsagal Mar 2019 #23

You can search google for any of those words or expressions and see when he said them.... George II Mar 2019 #26

It's to be expected, especially given Bernie's popularity with the common folk. InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #85

While he's in NY, BS should get advice from Democrat Andrew Cuomo... lapucelle Mar 2019 #15

I'm sure Bernie knows that. He attended Brooklyn College. As for the $15/hr minimum wage? Autumn Mar 2019 #22

Of course BS knows that a Democratic governor succeeded where others have failed. lapucelle Mar 2019 #39

During one of the debates maybe someone can ask him why he left Brooklyn College. George II Mar 2019 #29

Has BS ever won an election in Brooklyn? N/T lapucelle Mar 2019 #41

Only in Burlington and Vermont state-wide. Never got more than 220,000 votes. George II Mar 2019 #42

His mother died Eric J in MN Mar 2019 #45

LOL, maybe Cuomo can volunteer to help deliver R B Garr Mar 2019 #49

sorry.... chillfactor Mar 2019 #28

QVC was doing "Lisa Rinna" fashion. My wife and I watched that. George II Mar 2019 #31

I do believe as I did in 2016 that Bernie would be the strongest candidate against Trump. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #30

He wouldn't have won, unless Russia wanted him to win. Are you saying Russia pnwmom Mar 2019 #60

Seriously, that's what you took from my post!? Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #61

What I took from the post is that you overlooked the fact is that there were factors pnwmom Mar 2019 #62

I agree with your points just not your conclusion as Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #65

Why are you so certain that the person who lost by 4 million votes in the primary pnwmom Mar 2019 #70

The majority of the polls had Bernie winning in the G.E. by a greater margin than Hillary for one. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #71

Those polls were during the primary. Russia and Trump hadn't focused their attack ads on Bernie. pnwmom Mar 2019 #75

I agree but the polls consistently had Bernie winning by a greater margin. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #79

What relevance do polls taken during the primary have to do with the general? pnwmom Mar 2019 #86

When it happens consistently over an extended period time, there is some strength to that. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #89

0 + 0 + 0 is consistent but it still adds up to 0. pnwmom Mar 2019 #90

Bernie had his own set of challenges, name recognition among the majority of the American People Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #93

Very true. Which is why there is no reason to think he would have done better than Hillary. pnwmom Mar 2019 #96

It's all hypothetical but I believe there is reason. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #99

I agree that no matter what we need to all join together to defeat Trump. pnwmom Mar 2019 #102

... Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #103

Inasmuch as he wasn't the nominee, those polls were hypothetical. George II Mar 2019 #76

I agree George. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #80

Did he explain why he fled Brooklyn in 1968 for Vermont? itsrobert Mar 2019 #36

I suspect that Brooklyn changed. George II Mar 2019 #40

I suspect it had to do with being able to buy 85 acres in Vermont for $2,500. Autumn Mar 2019 #50

"Glossy real estate guides" in 1954? George II Mar 2019 #57

Yeah, my Dad bought land in CO sight unseen. Got us out of Texas. Autumn Mar 2019 #59

Vermont in the 1960s was a gathering place for people on the left to move to. NT Eric J in MN Mar 2019 #44

I wonder what 85 acres would have cost in Brooklyn? Autumn Mar 2019 #54

So did LWolf Mar 2019 #38

I think he's the annointed one! OilemFirchen Mar 2019 #48

He was blessed by the Pope. itsrobert Mar 2019 #53

Another amazing speech by Bernie... his campaign rollout is hitting on all cylinders (no surprise!) InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #81
