only the clueless discount them

Who knew?

pro-choice (Prescott Bush was a long-time supporter of Planned Parenthood)

pro-gay rights (like Lincoln Chafee)

pro-immigration (because it kept the wages low if you tweaked the legislation just "right&quot

Don't 100% sure know about progressive taxation, but Eisenhower seemed fine with it.

Still is close to the company.

Saint Hillary of Walmart, our Blessed Lady of Inevitability, and the afflluent fruit of her womb, Chelsea. Let us bend our knee and praise Nancy!

of those people here do we?"

What did you say?

I would have said "yeah, I'm one of 'those' people - do you have a problem?" Seems like they would love for us not to be able to vote.

people at our table and in the building. It was loud and hard to hear. We had to almost shout to be heard while discussing who we were voting for, but yeah I said I was an Independent. I think they had a false sense that it was a closed caucus because the paper that you vote with has at the top a statement saying, "I consider myself a Democrat." But WA has an open caucus, so no matter what that piece of paper said, I had every right to be there and to vote and I did.

I know that so many feel that this is "their" party and that we as indys don't have a right to have a say in their party, but whoever is nominated and possibly elected as President, will be the President for ALL of us, not just the Dems or the Repubs. So I don't CARE that they don't like me having a say in "their" party. My state allows indys to vote in the Democratic primary and so I will.

That kind of MOMENTUM is what will be needed in the General Election.


I also like this assertion: "So much for 'momentum.' We all knew he'd win Wisconsin..." So apparently momentum is only evidenced by unexpected wins. lol

================

And completely unsurprising.
Hillary may yet win the battle but she's losing the war.

Dem side running in the general.

percent of voters are Independents, and that no one can win an election without them.

...I choose Bernie. He is more in line with my ideals than Hillary could ever hope to be.

If independents like him, great! I have a formerly republican niece that seems to love him. She was a Rand Paul supporter--go figure. I think that's more about feeling the candidate gets you than the actual platform. As far as I'm concerned, Bernie is the most democratic candidate we've had since Roosevelt. He has my vote because he is for the people not the corporations.

getting their votes on the repug side.

I could say a lot here.. especially how you leave out a HUGE voter block but I won't

I dislike closed primaries. Always have.

if the Dems opened all their primaries and caucus', they'd win GE's handily.

Joint the Democratic Party.
