Is Bernie Sanders really Ralph Nader with funny hair?

Last edited Thu Jul 30, 2015, 07:25 AM - Edit history (1)

Just wondering. It's a concern. Can any of you Sanders supporters prove he isn't Ralph in disguise?

Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together in public? I'm concerned.

"But, Sanders has said, "If I run, I want to run to win. I will not be a spoiler…. There are ways to do this, but let me make it very clear. I will not be a spoiler and elect some Republican."

Bernie is running in the primary and has been on record saying that he will not run in such a way that aides the Republicans (third party).

I never would have put it together if it weren't for your insightful questioning, but now there's no doubt in my mind that Bernie Sanders and Ralph Nader are the same person.

Now here's my theory, Hillary Clinton has been replaced by an automaton created in top secret Goldman Sachs laboratories and is powered by the collective suffering of former Lehman Brothers Brokers; she will never dare to question her dark masters and their financial whims.

I wasn't being serious in my OP, and I do think Nader has done a lot of good otherwise over the years.
