I agree, but sadly the R's & D's have created a system that makes it virtually impossible to get on the ballot in all 50 states, get equal funding, get into the debates, or get equal publicity, unless they run as one of the two. Ross Perot, Ron Paul & Ralph Nader figured that out the hard way. Ron Paul then wised up, while Bernie Sanders & Donald Trump skipped the futility & tried to change the parties from the inside.

More like, conspired against him. They played Bernie for the crazy old fool that he is.

Nader was also blamed endlessly for being the spoiler vote, splitting votes between him and Gore causing Bush to 'win' the election. I don't think that's fair to Nader but they will always look for someone to trash and point the finger.

That's precious. Hillary and Podesta let Bernie come out and give a speech.

Why would a Trump supporter want Bernie to go away?

Won't get any argument from me. On paper Jeb looked to be the safest, most moderate person running, but he was too mellow/pragmatic/boring.

This is the laziest deflection I've ever seen. Can you please ****ing try.

And no, they didn't. Plenty of Democrats still support him. Just because the party goes a certain way does not mean every single person in the party must follow suit. Plenty of Republicans didn't and still don't like Trump even though he's the leader of their party.

It's called nuance.

Default Bernie Sanders still on the job

Bernie slit his own political throat when he applied his religious test that would bar Jesus Christ himself from serving in government.

I feel sorry for Bernie Sanders, the "old man" appeals only to rejects.
