Actually he was. He is now talking about a third-party run which probably can't happen.

Hia demeanor was peaky a bit too rough for the Democratic Party. But he would have added an interesting dimension to the debate.

It's amazing how insensitive so-called progressives can be. Progressives are now becoming Repressives, a dangerous direction to go.

If you think Trump would be better for poor people you are sorely mistaken. He opposes tax cuts for the poor. He opposes minimum wage increase which helps all lower income hourly workers. He supports trade wars which would increase prices on consumer goods and squeeze the poor even more, etc.

I think the thread is about whether Clinton is the best choice for the Democratic Party. Only if Democrats and Independents are in love with the idea of increasing the wealth and income of the top 1%.
