I hope Sanders runs as an independent like Ralph Nader did in 2000.
If he does that I'll vote for him even if I don't agree with him on certain things.

Half empty ???



ANd to be perfectly clear, Hillary hasnt held any rallies other than the official announcement in the above picture.

She has made speeches infront of organizations who were already meeting and wasnt open to the public and at a couple of colleges, that is it.

Bernie is only a serious challenger because there are no serious challengers.

Two options crappy or less crappy. Naturally lots people are going to go with less crappy but in the end the only thing Democrats care about is keeping POTUS. Same as the Repugs.

I'll say it again I'll vote my heart in the primaries and for whom ever the Repug candidate will be in the general because that ain't no way in hell I'll be associated with putting Democrat into the seat based on the options being served up.

Sanders is a lunatic but at least he's an honest lunatic.

Politicians who have less of a chance of victory are always more honest. That is why Jeb Bush couldn't give a straight answer on Iraq.

That's what Ron Paul wanted to do, but he's not a lunatic is he? No, of course not, because he bats for your side. So, it's only crazy when a liberal says it, but good and honest if a conservative says it

If banks are too big to fail, they are too big to exist.

If these banks who caused the financial crisis are not broken up, they will just continue to recklessly gamble with trilllions of dollars and bring down the economy and livelihood of millions upon millions of people.

The insanity is to let the culprits of the financial crisis grow 80% bigger than they were before the crisis. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate on the side of the people against these massively powerful Wall Street interests, and that's why he should be the next president IMO.
