Bernie Sanders

Only one candidate has won every election they've entered for 25 years.

Since 1990 Bernie Sanders has won every election he's entered (10). That's an impressive streak no matter the politician. His opponent? Not so much.

(3,226 posts)by the way all of those wins were in Vermont, I have not decided yet whom I should support I am more interested in who will represent my values that will have a good chance of not only keeping the Whitehouse but helping to take back seats in Congress.
Haha, I'm we'll aware of Bernie's record. I mainly did it to poke a little fun at our friends on the other side.
I don't see many Hillary pics posted in their group. Maybe I'm missing something, and that's possible, but it would be cool to see some of their stuff the way our group does Bernie. I guess I'll have to pay more attention over there.

(564 posts)Make no mistake. The powers and monies that be do not want Bernie in the White House. Democrat, Republican, it is ultimately all the same to them as long as they control the official. Cooperation from Bernie is not guaranteed as it would be from Hillary or Jeb Or Cruz or Rubio or even possibly Trump.

(62,325 posts)state, yet Sanders managed to overcome that and keep on winning for three decades. Because he transcends partisan politics.
Thanks for reminding me how incredible a winning streak against many odds, money eg, conservatism, in a state where conventional wisdom says he should not have won elections.

(975 posts)I do want to mention the CNN poll from earlier today. It was a vid someone posted that showed Clinton at 50% and Sanders at 38% overall. Sanders is only 12 off Clinton's lead. (Clinton was down 4 from previous and Sanders up 8 for a +12 gain in the poll).
I looked up Obama's number on or near this date in 2008 and he was down by 12 points as well. It was not a CNN poll but it should be a good indicator all the same. We're either at or about at where Obama was nationally in 2008. That's one positive sign anyway.

I likely could have handled that better but it is what it is. I'm glad we can put it to rest though and you'll always have friend in me. An apology goes a long way.
Happy Holidays. Peace be with you and your family.

(5,066 posts)Clinton has won 2 elections and there were hardly tough races.
Bernie since 1981 has only lost twice.1 for governor in 1986 and for the house in 1988 and since 1990 has won every time.let's
remember this is first election he is running as a candiate of major party.all the others were as independent.and it's tough to win
outside of the 2 partys.
