I wonder when he'll make the announcement that he is now officially a Democrat rather than an Independent. Per Democratic party rules, that is now going to be required to run for the Democratic nomination - that will include his current status as Senator, because you can't be both in a party and not in a party at the same time.

Thank you! Bernie is only going to divide the Democratic party, like he did in 2016. Bernie lost to Hillary and she was the only other candidate in the Democratic race in 2016! Bernie is expecting to spilt the VOTES with all the Democratic candidates in race. I can't VOTE for the dumb "old coot!"

Bernie is doing a Hillary, i.e. she stepped aside for Obama to be rewarded by the DNC later with the nomination. Bernie thinks he will be rewarded for taking the DNC kick in the balls to step aside for Hillary. Sadly for him, that won't happen.

Bernie isnt an idiot. He knows fully well that the corporate establishment democrats with the same big money donors as Trump would rather lose to Trump than win with Bernie.

Many of the people who voted in California were illegally "legalized" by Reagan (or are descendants of "legalized" millions by Reagan) so their votes weren't legitimate anyways.


No matter how you want to spin that, our country has been stolen from us and it simply was never legal.

Bernie, as an independent, will be a non-factor and will get 5% of the vote at most. The Democrats will get the word out that "a vote for Bernie is a vote for Trump" in the general election. He peaked in 2016.

Bernie thinks he see an opportunity, this is the only reason he's running. Bernie Sanders isn't the most qualified or knowledgeable Democrat in the race.

....so it was ok for them to help her cheat him not only in the debates with the help of CNN but in other ways within the DNC.

Because they'd never do THAT again to someone else besides Bernie.
