1. An Independent politician should not be running as a Democratic candidate.

Sanders could very well run again, but he should not be invited to attach his campaign to the Democratic Party's banner. If he expects to boost his prospects by once again using the Democratic Party's extensive campaign machine, he should either become a Democrat or go front his own run as an Independent politician.

We can open up the old primary thread
What are you talking about?

2. Maybe Hillary will run again, too
Oh, please. Stop it. Haven't you been paying attention? She's not running again. Hillary has made it very clear, on several occasions, that she's not running for office again.

10. If Bernie were to run as an independent (which I doubt)-we would lose big time.

Better to work with the Progressive wing of the Party, include them in the decision making process and run as a united group.

I couldn't stand to think otherwise, and I'm already crazy enough. My favorite quote about infighting?
