The less is Al Gore.
Pretty interesting to see a huge media recognizing the now successfull Sanders campaign, to.
Warren Stupidity
(48,181 posts)Trump is fucking up the Republican establishment and Sanders is doing the same to the Democratic establishment. They all just want everyone to get back on script.

He has always polled horribly in the first position. He's just not what America wants in the front office. Nice guy, though--smart and cheery.

(18,115 posts)I like him as a person and respect him. I agree with your assessment of him.

(135,425 posts)If he were on two different tickets, he'd have had a different running mate.

(135,425 posts)he didn't change VPs until AFTER his re-election, when Agnew's legal shit hit the fan and Ford came in to substitute (and ended up being an unelected POTUS).

Those were most certainly different tickets.

(30,058 posts)Should drop out of the race there are several other names who will jump in. If there are some who thinks Sanders will end up as the nominee are selling themselves a loosing candidate, does the GOP want Sanders as the Nominee, yes, because they know they can beat him.
