Bernie said he wouldn't run as a third-party candidate, and I take him at his word on that. Maedhros Mar 2016 #25
Well, I'm hoping he's had a bit of an awakening because of the mistreatment from the DNC revbones Mar 2016 #26
The aftermath of this election will tell us a lot about the Democratic rank-and-file. Maedhros Mar 2016 #27
Only their mouths have been open. Most of them John Poet Mar 2016 #67
I don't think he envisioned the amount of support he's had, though Autumn Colors Mar 2016 #29
What I would like to see him do is turn his talents to the jwirr Mar 2016 #42

I don't know where you get your ideas Kelvin Mace Mar 2016 #34

Umm, because with those votes, Gore wins. DanTex Mar 2016 #74
Ummmm timmymoff Mar 2016 #75
Without Nader siphoning off votes, Gore wins. It's not complicated. DanTex Mar 2016 #78
