If the following take part in the Democratic Primaries, whom would you vote for today? [View all] Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 OP

One is NOT a Democrat for sure... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #1

Bernie is not a Democrat Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #4

nope you cannot say that.....you don't know... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #5

Yes I can say that, Bernie has already intimated it. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #7

He is considering it....he hasn't "intimated" anything.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #11

Alright! I'll google it for you! Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #15

"considering it" VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #16

Caucusing with Dems is not the same thing Skidmore Nov 2014 #39

Can we just stick to the Poll question. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #51

Why? In most states, party affiliation must be declared to Skidmore Nov 2014 #60

But the assumption built into the question is that Bernie is running as a Democrat! Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #71

Why should that be assumed. Skidmore Nov 2014 #72

For the same reason the same assumption is made about everyone else on the list. Jim Lane Nov 2014 #79

That's been occuring to me too. The grief I've taken for a simple fun poll!!! Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #87

Why are they so worried? Enthusiast Nov 2014 #102

Hilarious Hillary Homers are scared shitless of Bernie Sanders. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #107

I don't recall stating that I was supporting anyone Skidmore Nov 2014 #88

Yes, in most states a party affiliation needs to be established, but so does a willingness to run. Jim Lane Nov 2014 #100

That is my RIGHT as the creator of the poll - you needn't respond to it. Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #86

Ever feel like you are being double teamed? Enthusiast Nov 2014 #101

Sometimes this place seems more like F/R... Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2014 #106

Jumping Jim Jeffords,Republican-turned-Independent out of VT (also), caucused with the Dems as well. MADem Nov 2014 #77

For the purposes of the poll, LWolf Nov 2014 #10

why? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #14

Anyone can speculate about anything at any time. LWolf Nov 2014 #19

so WILL YOU vote for him if he doesn't? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #20

How would I? LWolf Nov 2014 #27

Okay...you just proved WHY he doesn't belong on the poll... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #30

No, if you only have facts established TODAY, this poll would be empty with no options... cascadiance Nov 2014 #54

and he is NOT a Democrat...that is NOT SPECULATION!!!! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #55

People like you say that Hillary is "inevitable" because it is LIKELY she will run... cascadiance Nov 2014 #57

NO I have NEVER used that word...EVER.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #58

This is a useless conversation... cascadiance Nov 2014 #61

no anything that iSnt Democratic... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #67

. LWolf Nov 2014 #66

That WASN'T the question posed by this poll! cascadiance Nov 2014 #29

but it is NOT speculation that he is TODAY NOT a Democrat....and we are talking TODAY! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #32

Saying he he could be a Democrat is just as real as saying that Hillary Clinton IS NOW running too! cascadiance Nov 2014 #34

No...because she IS a Democrat.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #36

But like everyone on this list SHE IS NOT RUNNING T-O-D-A-Y!!!!! cascadiance Nov 2014 #43

but these are Democrats...and WE are Democrats... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #45

And if you think that most disaffected and oppressed progressive Democrats won't accept him... cascadiance Nov 2014 #50

+1,000 Scuba Nov 2014 #52

If you think you are like most Democrats.. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #85

We're talking of hypothetical and fun polls to see where the wind is blowing on DU. LanternWaste Nov 2014 #98

Why the extreme reaction? Chemisse Nov 2014 #40

Since when is reality an extreme position? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #41

Since when is your opinion "reality"?! cascadiance Nov 2014 #47

Pffft! Enthusiast Nov 2014 #105

Shhh BlindTiresias Nov 2014 #46

If you don't like the poll don't participate in it. Ignore it. Enthusiast Nov 2014 #103

Why do you people do this? Do you think DUers are actually stupid enough to believe you? ieoeja Nov 2014 #108

Bernie said he may run as a Democrat on MTP this year. I would support him in the primary, because freshwest Nov 2014 #63

I don't vote for If. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2014 #33

"considering".....that is the very definition of "IF"! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #35

Exactly...and THAT is the problem! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #49
