I believe he will run. He is a proven commodity.

Age is not a factor.

Highlight:

Speculation about Bernie Sanders Running Again Is...Well...Speculation [View all] MineralMan Apr 2017 OP

My personal opinion athena Apr 2017 #1

That's Possible, MineralMan Apr 2017 #2

I switched my support when she became the nominee Warpy Apr 2017 #77

Found him! TexasTowelie Apr 2017 #79

I agree as there seems to be huge overlap with those downplaying the Russian involvement.... bettyellen Apr 2017 #8

Maybe, but there is just as much disruption from Hillary supporters. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #11

I think it's your mistake to forget that the Dem majority dislikes attacks on themselves.... bettyellen Apr 2017 #12

And attacking Bernie and his supporters, many who voted for Hillary, is NOT helping us either. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #20

We have people here giving Sanders the Independent credit for Dem proposals- if you bettyellen Apr 2017 #45

First, it's not JUST people here correcting the record on Dem proposals. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #48

All those links you posted are HRC doing positive unifying things for Dems.... bettyellen Apr 2017 #50

Are you saying all posts by Bernie supporters are the same as Putin talking points? Really? StubbornThings Apr 2017 #57

But he probably would have won fewer if all states had elections lapucelle Apr 2017 #102

Then BS shouldn't say things like Dems are "feeble" Cha Apr 2017 #85

Maybe you haven't noticed but the Democrats have ZERO power right now. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #91

BS isn't helping when he insults my Democratic Party Cha Apr 2017 #93

It's my Democratic Party too and I think he is helping. nt StubbornThings Apr 2017 #94

Not when he insults.. BS isn't. Cha Apr 2017 #95

Understood. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #97

You lose when you put words in my mouth and don't face Cha Apr 2017 #99

Agree! Always been a Hillary supporter, but I admire Bernie a lot, Alice11111 Apr 2017 #26

I don't see anything wrong in what you said. dmr Apr 2017 #37

Thank you. I agree, united we stand. Alice11111 Apr 2017 #38

The GOP has cracked the code, JHan Apr 2017 #34

I agree about sowing hate. It's effective. Despicable. Alice11111 Apr 2017 #40

I want Bernie Sanders to run and win because I don't trust anyone more to fill cabinet positions. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #3

OK. MineralMan Apr 2017 #4

Thanks. Fixed it. nt StubbornThings Apr 2017 #7

i don't trust Bernie either. He really despises the Democratic Party and many of his actions prove nikibatts Apr 2017 #6

I said I don't trust anyone MORE THAN Bernie. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #10

Ugh, I think feeling it's analogous to sports is a huge cultural problem that shuts off critical bettyellen Apr 2017 #13

So, you don't think it's analogous? Is that right? It's kind of hard to tell. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #14

I think we have bigger priorities right now than that. Timing matters a lot. bettyellen Apr 2017 #16

Bigger priorities than what? Losing? StubbornThings Apr 2017 #21

We actually can't focus on the next election until we've fully dealt with this one, period. bettyellen Apr 2017 #39

"This one" is over. The republicans will have power for four years. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #44

This election is BEING INVESTIGATED.I get many would like to ignore that... bettyellen Apr 2017 #47

Investigated by who, the ones that committed the crime. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #51

LOL. Nope. What's going on now is worse than Watergate, which was the scandal I cut my teeth on many bettyellen Apr 2017 #53

Fine. Keep fighting a losing battle. I'll keep fighting the battle of starting to win again. nt StubbornThings Apr 2017 #58

All 18 intelligence agencies and their employees committed a crime? jackssonjack Apr 2017 #54

Don't forget Obama and Susan Rice? But we should "let it go" bettyellen Apr 2017 #56

Serious as ever. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #61

You're as funny as ever. Let's ignore the biggest GOP scandal to ever happen oh yeah.... bettyellen Apr 2017 #66

And? The GOP controls everything. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #59

It makesd no difference iof the GOP controls 3 branches, they dont control the investigation. jackssonjack Apr 2017 #62

I'm sorry. I can't help you. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #63

I'm wide awake, thanks for your concern. jackssonjack Apr 2017 #68

Can you believe ignoring current investigations and proposed legislation is being promoted w bettyellen Apr 2017 #72

And they haven't been successful trashing OCare- it's more popular than ever- bettyellen Apr 2017 #65

I've never seen a progressive have such a totally defeatist attitude bettyellen Apr 2017 #64

17, not 18. Raine1967 Apr 2017 #71

My mistake. jackssonjack Apr 2017 #74

Wanting to trust a candidate is not 'gut feeling' Kentonio Apr 2017 #18

Distrusting can be a matter of "not relating/connecting to" a persona bettyellen Apr 2017 #41

We tend to see the things that conform to our existing biases. Kentonio Apr 2017 #46

I never had a bias to either candidate and liked three and researched a lot. bettyellen Apr 2017 #49

I agree with you about the cult of personality. athena Apr 2017 #80

Yep, all that makes me go hmmm. I saw flaws in all the candidates - and good things too. bettyellen Apr 2017 #82

No, BS called them "feeble" and "can't fight back".. he's Wrong. Cha Apr 2017 #86

Maybe not the best descriptions but you have to admit that something needs to change. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #92

Actually he said that he was running as a Democrat because it was easier lapucelle Apr 2017 #103

but his age...after finishing a term, plus if he ran 2 terms Alice11111 Apr 2017 #28

I agree that his age is a concern, but I trust him to pick a great VP and that makes it ok for me. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #32

I've always been a hill supporter, but he amazes me, his fortitude, Alice11111 Apr 2017 #36

I would love to see Bernie pick a young, strong, voice for the future. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #42

Yes. As far as I saw, he is a strong progressive. I agreed Alice11111 Apr 2017 #43

"But his age...after finishing a term, plus if he ran 2 terms." LenaBaby61 Apr 2017 #69

True, but the Russians would do it to most Dems. Alice11111 Apr 2017 #73

Thanks for sharing. Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #75

You're welcome. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #90

Don't disagree but think it's funny that you judge those that suspect Bernie will run again... StubbornThings Apr 2017 #5

Never say never, but I tend to agree Tom Rinaldo Apr 2017 #9

Anything about 2020 is speculation... Wounded Bear Apr 2017 #15

Exactly. MineralMan Apr 2017 #17

Again. Still think it's funny when you, yourself, speculated in the OP. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #33

!!! Alice11111 Apr 2017 #29

although DT is up and running full force for 2020. Alice11111 Apr 2017 #35

Just one thing.. Kentonio Apr 2017 #19

I was specifically talking about predictions that Sanders would run in 2020. MineralMan Apr 2017 #22

Serious people don't usually waste time speculating on the future Kentonio Apr 2017 #23

As you say, "serious people don't" MineralMan Apr 2017 #24

Indeed. Kentonio Apr 2017 #25

Speculation is a big part of political discussion boards. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #27

This is actually a very nice post. StubbornThings Apr 2017 #30

Thank you. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #31

I'd be fine with Bernie running bekkilyn Apr 2017 #52

I love Bernie, but don't see him making another run. KPN Apr 2017 #55

Let's hope so. People of color will still be his Achilles Heel, and we know how much he derides.... Tarheel_Dem Apr 2017 #60

Yes it is pure speculation but I will not support Sanders if he runs in the primary Gothmog Apr 2017 #67

Hopefully he won't run. Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #76

Theylll be several major states not letting him on the ballot because taxes.... bettyellen Apr 2017 #83

Yay! I forgot about that.. Mahalo, bettyellen Cha Apr 2017 #89

I still see false reports that he showed full tax returns, it makes me nuts! bettyellen Apr 2017 #98

Sanders never disclosed his tax returns Gothmog Apr 2017 #105

Sanders will need to release his tax returns if he wants to run Gothmog Apr 2017 #96

Breaking news TSIAS Apr 2017 #100

I am fine with that Gothmog Apr 2017 #104

I hope he does & I'll do everything I can for him FDRsGhost Apr 2017 #70

Gag order. democratisphere Apr 2017 #78

He said in an interview he does not rule it out Samantha Apr 2017 #81

Oh god.. I don't give a shite about age.. I won't support him. Cha Apr 2017 #87

I hope he forks over his taxes and his last FEC he never turned in. nt fun n serious Apr 2017 #84

I want someone Gen X or younger, from the West Coast, who supports Marijuana legalization. Warren DeMontague Apr 2017 #88

I'm not seeing it. Bernie running I mean. But what I AM seeing is the new DNC PatrickforO Apr 2017 #101
