If Bernie doesn't run a 3rd party campaign, he is a FRAUD and loses all credibility (democratic, Republican)

[Cheesesteak Cravings]

Down with the DNC!

[snowmountains]

I very much hope he will do so. I hope he understands that a considerable number (I think) of his supporters are supporting him not--or not only--for the fact that he's a Democratic candidate, but that they have an aversion to Hillary Clinton. If he runs as independent, I will increase my donations. If he's too ready to yield to Clinton or even persuades us to support her in the event that he quits, then as his strong supporter I'll be a little unhappy.

Can I just give you my paypal email address? I mean just let me know what unattainable lies you want me to tell you and I'll get right on it, then you can just give me your money instead.

But do not discount a patriotic conservative running third party to derail Trump should he end up as candidate.

I about fell over and spewed my coffee reading that LOL ...Bernie is NOT some newbie to politics.. he has been in elected office as Independent for many a decades..This man is nothing like folks like some politicians today..who have a singular goal..It's that or nothing..absolutely NO dealing..let alone negotiate..

LOL Remember when any Republican was seen with, BO..they were called names/traitors/RHINO//How dare THEY talk to BO, that Muslim, Illigitament man posing as POTUS..THE HORROR..for the first 4 years..After that..HE IS STUPID>INEPT> OVER REACHING> Unconstitutional ..Dictator/Fascist/yike's think I have heard every term in the book...SMH

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is my take observing/hearing from outside the US Borders..and reading both MSM and doing due diligence ..getting all sides..and of course took mcu of what was typed/said from where it comes from..and the credibility..when fact checked...I may be OLD..But I'm not SENILE,Deaf and Blind..LOL

Yet while Sanders has been in the Congress since at least 1991!! He has never wavered to follow his "North Star" Here are his affiliations since he actually became a politician~~ I find his history rather interesting !!

Political party Liberty Union (Before 1979)
Independent (1979–2015)
Democratic (2015–present)†

If you look at his Wiki profile , which I posted above!! Interesting observations of him written, says it all~~

snip~ from Wiki link above~~

Though Sanders has described himself as a democratic socialist, Noam Chomsky has called him "basically a New Dealer,"[3][4] and many journalists have likened his policies to the New Deal. Sanders rose to national prominence following his 2010 filibuster against the proposed extension of the Bush tax cuts. He favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries, and has built a reputation as a leading progressive voice on issues such as campaign finance reform, corporate welfare, global warming, income inequality, LGBT rights, parental leave, and universal healthcare. Sanders has long been critical of U.S. foreign policy and was an early and outspoken opponent of the Iraq War. He is also outspoken on civil liberties and civil rights, particularly criticizing racial discrimination in the criminal justice system as well as advocating for privacy rights against mass surveillance policies such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the NSA surveillance programs.

What lie? That our government has been controlled by the billionaires? That as the richest country we (99%) do not have a high standard of living? That pharmaceuticals and insurance compaines are ripping us apart? That we have a rigged economy?

Go ahead, keep ignoring the part about his lies on giving away free tuition, free health care and doubling minimum wage, those things arent going to happen and he knows it, yet those are some of the things that are huge drivers for his support and the money being donated to him. The man is a big fat liar just like the majority of our other politicians and representatives.

Hillary Clinton stands for all these things. She is the epitome of the establishment, a rigged system, and crony capitalism.

If Bernie really believes what he says, he will run as a 3rd party campaign since the Democratic party is a corrupt, crony institution.

Waiting on you, Bernie...your move

Is he a total FRAUD or is this guy legit? We'll find out in a few weeks to months...

Why, he knows he can't win. So why put all that time and effort into nothing

[Clark Park]

I seriously doubt he will run as a third party candidate.

[crone]

Why don't you consult Al Gore about third party candidates?

I think Nader was on the Republican payroll.

I'm supporting him not because I need free tuition (I don't). I support him because he tells the truth about the root of the problem with this country, and wants to do something about it. No other candidates has had the guts to challenge the sorry status quo. I have long wondered why we, as the No. 1 super power in the world, do not have decent health care like those European countries and Canada, even some communist countries. Frankly speaking, I'm not sure if/how I might personally benefit from certain things that he proposes. But I don't base my support for a candidate on my personal interests. In a sense, my donation to Bernie's campaign is for myself: for what I believe in. I have health insurance, too. I'd rather shed some dollars from my pocket for his campaign and pay the extra tax resulting from his proposals but having an decent, honest president who truly and consistently cares about people than having a self-serving liar bought by Wall Street as the head of the country, even if (hypothetically) I pay less tax under her proposal.

I hope Bernie will stick it to the end, till the general election. Don't let us down. I will never vote for that world-renowned "big fat liar" Hillary Clinton.
