Will we try the Kansas solution in 2016, by not putting up a candidate and

backing Bernie running as an Ind.

We done this in the past Kansas senate race when Chad Taylor withdrew from the race – pushed by party members to help independent candidate Greg Orman's shot at beating Roberts.

It's two years away, and Cruz is already making an ass of himself. I'm in no hurry.

Hell, if it were up to me, political campaigns wouldn't last more than six months.

There's too much pride tied up in a WH run. The Dem Party would never be willing to sacrifice running a candidate in that particular race, even one they believe will lose to a Republican.
