Democratic Leaders Willing to Risk Stopping Sanders [View all] wyldwolf Feb 2020 OP

"Risk Party Damage" is the title. Does anyone think this could possibly be a good idea? DanTex Feb 2020 #1

The way Sanders conducted his candidacy in 2016 and his insistence on running again... W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #3

"Insistence" on running again. What? DanTex Feb 2020 #6

So does Hillary, right? treestar Feb 2020 #7

What stopped her? fallout87 Feb 2020 #12

Hillary is a true Democrat that actually got behind the person that beat her for the nomination... W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #25

gawd Hills was treated shamefully....im still really pissed. samnsara Feb 2020 #26

He's not doing quite well. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #18

Yes, he is. He's ahead in delegates, he's ahead in all the polls, he's ahead in head-to-head polls DanTex Feb 2020 #27

The reason it's a crowded field is because Sanders is seen as such a weak candidate. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #36

Well, he's obviously the strongest candidate in the field. DanTex Feb 2020 #37

I agree, but I still have to wash socks. n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #42

How dare he run for president again! fallout87 Feb 2020 #10

Bernie's love fest with Castro will never be forgotten in Florida. honest.abe Feb 2020 #38

Popular with a plurality of Democrats treestar Feb 2020 #39

Majority of Democrats. DanTex Feb 2020 #41

He does not have a majority of Democrats treestar Feb 2020 #97

He doesn't "have" a majority, but he is "popular with" a majority. DanTex Feb 2020 #98

Louder and angrier doesn't mean more numerous. ehrnst Feb 2020 #99

Yes, the person who is "undecided" thinks that Bernie was 'forced' to follow rules like ehrnst Feb 2020 #62

I know right? HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #63

Who forced him to run as a Democrat? And why was he a superdelegate if he ehrnst Feb 2020 #61

You're saying if a candidate who has fewer pledged delegates asked the superdelegates ehrnst Feb 2020 #64

I find "minions" to be rather insulting The Mouth Feb 2020 #83

If he arrives with the most delegates and they attempt to do that, it will destroy the Democratic Autumn Feb 2020 #43

Then why did Sanders support it in 2016? TwilightZone Feb 2020 #47

That has been explained time and again. I'm not wasting my time answering what you ignore. Autumn Feb 2020 #53

No, it won't destroy the Dem party, instead it would free itself from being tied to socialism. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #66

Go with that if it comforts you. Democrats can't win with just your moderate and older voters. Autumn Feb 2020 #71

Hmm, is Senator Sanders registered as an Independent or Democrat at this time? eilen Feb 2020 #90

Can you explain how that's relevant to the topic at hand? melman Feb 2020 #91

Because I am a Democrat and eilen Feb 2020 #92

Okay but here's the thing melman Feb 2020 #93
