Nov 2014

I think that's for the best. We are just in different zones, I'm in a progressive zone and the future zone and you are in the now. We see where we are in say the fall of 2015 and see if we can rebuild our friendship then.

I will whisper a fond adieu to you my dear dear friend.

The main reason he may find it difficult to win Maedhros Nov 2014 #13

You got it exactly right. Why do people say he can't win? Is it because they A Simple Game Nov 2014 #16

People have been well-trained to accept that the will of the voters Maedhros Nov 2014 #22

"I'm fed up too Bernie" should be our slogan! If enough people were sick enough to stop voting for Dustlawyer Nov 2014 #31

Let's make it so that he can win the nomination. Talk to people, Zorra Nov 2014 #15

Agreed panader0 Nov 2014 #18

Staying Independant and running would be good too Liberal Lolita Nov 2014 #19

It would be better for Bernie to knock out Hillary during the primary, Maedhros Nov 2014 #23

tiss true Liberal Lolita Nov 2014 #28

If he runs as an independant that could allow the Republican candidate to win a totodeinhere Nov 2014 #29

Bernie's Best. He can handle pundits too from what I've seen. They try like Chuck Todd, appalachiablue Nov 2014 #20

Regardless of what the polls are showing right now, Clinton or anyone totodeinhere Nov 2014 #115

when YOU got something better....let us know... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #116

Actually many observers believe that any credible Democratic candidate can win in 2016. totodeinhere Nov 2014 #119

do they have lots and lots of polls to prove that? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #120

it's shameful that anyone thinks that Hillary should have no challenge. disgustingly cali Nov 2014 #49

they seem to consider ANY talk of supporting ANYONE but Hillary is intentionally trying to sabotage Douglas Carpenter Nov 2014 #50

and it's interesting that they so frightened of anyone challenging their adored one. cali Nov 2014 #52

That is an interesting point. HappyMe Nov 2014 #66

If Hillary is such a shoo-in - why do you need to hijack threads and repeat your screeds ad nauseum? djean111 Nov 2014 #62
