(4,558 posts)But she's not.. conversely, many who quite strongly dislike Bernie and will never support him in his run to be our nominee are quite supportive of the potential of a Warren nomination.
So maybe.. just maybe.. it's more about the way he constantly attacks our party leadership? Or, maybe it's the way he don's the cloak of the Democratic Party at select times when it's beneficial to him? Or, maybe it's the way he's surrounded himself with and put in the highest leadership positions of his campaign outspoken Stein supporters that GAVE us Trump in the first place??
Just maybe..

(1,205 posts)You are right. Anything Sanders is getting is not his "progressiveness". Harris ranks more progressive than Sanders. She simply does promise all kinds of free stuff.

(1,115 posts)And when they do, their supporters ALWAYS claim no other front-runner gets treated this way.

(11,607 posts)They've been relentless on Biden for weeks, if not months. in 2008 they were tougher on Hillary until Obama moved to the front and then they got tougher on him. The frontrunner usually gets the toughest treatment from the media.
