I'm going to put this right here...

[MrScorpio]

Harry's retiring, I can get behind this, no prob.

Time to take the Senate back!

[nolabear]

1. Works for me!

[onecaliberal]

2. Excellent idea

[Pluvious]

54. This idea rocks

Totally rooted in reality !

[think]

3. Yes...

[Justice]

4. Ah, no.

Based on the way he is handling his supporters here, no. Absolutely not.

[liberalnarb]

23. WHAT??

What is he supposed to do?

[Craig234]

39. Based on the way he's falsely criticized yes. Absolutely yes.

[tallahasseedem]

5. No, he is not a registered Democrat

There are plenty of other Democratic senators that are qualified.

[angstlessk]

8. He wouldn't be the 1st senator to change parties.

[kestrel91316]

10. I think to be on the Democratic ballot in the primaries he HAD to be a registered Democrat, lol.

He switched from Independent. That made him as real a Democrat as anybody else registered.

If he goes back to being Independent that's his right but correct, he could not be the Senate majority leader.

[tallahasseedem]

14. Um, lol, he never switched.

Nice try though.

[Hissyspit]

49. He registered as a Democrat to run in his submitted candidacy paperwork.

[PoliticalMalcontent]

36. What qualifies someone to be a democrat? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, right?

[humbled_opinion]

43. Attitudes like that right there... N/T

[progressoid]

18. Yay. That's the attitude we need to get us unified.

[kestrel91316]

11. Oh bullshit.

Wishful thinking on your part, it appears.

Enjoy your stay.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. If the convention is "damaged" it will be the result of a myriad of systemic issues beyond SBS.

[DLCWIdem]

52. b.s. if his supporters delegates that are actually at the convention start chanting

"Lock her up" like the repubs, and do some of the other stuff it is being reported they want to do it willbe SBS fault and he wont be looked upon kindly. He will also be "damaged". The fault will fall right into SBS.

[Warren DeMontague]

50. Come on everyone, lets fight with each other!!!!!

Who's with me, fellow Democrats?

[yuiyoshida]

9. K&R

Tweeted

[B Calm]

12. +1

[BobbyDrake]

13. Nope.

[TheProgressive]

16. Sanders would have been an excellent president and could be an excellent Majority Leader...

Sanders: a stateperson for all Americans...

[LongtimeAZDem]

28. Sanders will be lucky to keep his comittee appointments after this (nt)

[TheProgressive]

35. Really? Why would you write that?

Sanders is one of the most liberal progressive Dem we have in Congress...

[Craig234]

40. Looks like Bernie Derangement Syndrome

He'll continue in a leadership role I expect.

[dhill926]

46. I think rats are getting fucked...

all over the place today...

[treestar]

19. That would be something positive.

Great idea.

[annabanana]

22. I LIKE it!

This is the way to go now!

[mountain grammy]

24. He'd be great! I vote yes.

[coco77]

25. I can get on board with that but..

Republican lites in the party won't like it.

[jonno99]

26. +1 for unity. nt

[NurseJackie]

27. Interesting. But unlikely to happen.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. Amazing to see the hatred for Bernie....

Some folks are suckers for propaganda.

[Skittles]

51. don't believe your lying eyes

[Cryptoad]

30. Way things are going on the convention floor tonite,,,

Bernie will never be elected as majority leader.......

[REALforever]

32. His supporters are making HIM look as RADICAL as The Tea Party

[REALforever]

31. Why Can't a chunk of his supporters SEE THE BIG PICTURE/REALITY?

A) We're not gonna have a Sanders nomination

B)What Bernie has put forth CANNOT be done by one person, but a UNITED party and voters

C)What they are doing is what Trump/Putin/RushLimberger/FOX News(?) want after such a "disastrous" GOP convention?

[avaistheone1]

33. I love this idea.

[Loki]

34. No,

my vote is for Elizabeth Warren, who is a Democrat.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

37. He's a strong voice that's respected.

[Trust Buster]

38. Sadly, with all the signs supporting Trump in the audience at the DNC Convention, I highly doubt

we'll be winning the White House or the Senate this fall.

[KPN]

41. I like the idea, but ...

even if the Ds take back the Senate, it will never happen. He's not part of the club.

[Craig234]

42. My only concern with this

Is that the Majority Leader role has a lot to do with supporting the party in ways that are at odds with the reform Bernie wants.

His strength is advocating for the right policies more than the administrative party role. But it does sound nice!

[joeybee12]

44. I doubt he wants it

It's a thankless non stop job

[baldguy]

45. Some "Sanders supporters" would rather pout & throw temper tantrums

And see Donald Trump win.

[bigwillq]

47. K and R

[bluestateguy]

48. Fine with me (or not)

But somehow I don't see Evan Bayh, Cory Booker and Mark Warner agreeing.

[chillfactor]

53. he would make....

one hell of a majority leader but i do not think that will happen...Chuck is next in line and he has been a loyal Democrat.
