I understand why he became a Democrat, but I think he could take from both sides & win as an independent.

is this what any decent candidate who wants to run as Democrat who has a chance of success can expect?

"its okay if you run, as long as you're not good?"

If it wasn't so pathetic, this would just be a "hilarious" situation.

opposition to speak of except for Bernie - and they hadn't "budgeted" for him....The NYT did an article today about how much she's spent so far and hasn't been able to focus on the Repugs.

Oh no! The ACA! Oh no! Social Security! Oh No! Medicare! Oh no! Climate change!

Pffft....whatever they get when Trump is president, they deserve. They have the chance, just like we do, to support Bernie Sanders. Bernie can and will beat Trump. Clinton can't and won't. Their choice, their fault and their fate.

I hope they know Independents, Millennials and many, many boomers aren't voting for her if she is successful in stealing this election. That's an instant loss.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

to get the destruction of America quickly, rather than by increments!

He thinks after 4 years of Trump, Bernie, or his successor, will be a shoe in!

so that the momentum and movement gathers more people. If clinton wins, then there will be little chance to save the progressive side.
