Today on Meet The Press, Bernie Sanders said he hasn't ruled out running as an Independent

[Cali_Democrat]

If he ran as an Independent, that would guarantee a Republican White House.

President Ted Cruz would be a real possibility.

I would definitely consider moving if Cruz became President.

1. Good. A journey of a thousand li begins with one step. Lao Tsu

[RufusTFirefly]

2. Why wait?

[PoliticAverse]

3. He won't be running as an independent. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

4. I think he should just go for it, and STFU. His spittled laced rantings will get on America's nerves

pretty quickly. Sanders, while filled with much piss & vinegar, will fizzle ala Howard Dean & The Kooch. If half the country can be convinced that Obama's a Kenyan, Muslim, Socialist; just wait till they get a load of Bernie Sanders.

6. His piss and vinegar is well founded. His spittle laced rants nothing but truth.

He is a strong voice for the middle class and poverty class. We need his voice.

8. Then he should go for it. Of course, then he'll be despised by Dems & Repubs alike, just like......

this guy:



With absolutely no chance of winning as an Independent, you have to ask yourself if he's willing to earn the scorn of both parties.

[morningfog]

9. He'll almost certainly run as a Dem, but he should run either way.

If he ran as an Indy, he would be taking on both parties and likely welcome their scorn. And his scorn towards each would be warranted.

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. Yes he should, and be just as ineffective as he's been all along. His legislative career isn't....

exactly anything to brag about. Bernie's notoriety is based solely on what he says, not what he's accomplished. Please list Bernie's legislative successes, and I don't mean naming post offices, and cutting ribbons at the local Piggly Wiggly. He's been bloviating in Congress for a lot of years, and that would be great if he had been able to convince the body that he's a part of to take him seriously.

[morningfog]

14. You really don't like him, huh?

[99Forever]

5. Then I suggest you do what you can...

.. to see to it either he or Senator Warren are the Democratic nominee.

[TBF]

7. Such concern. nt

[arcane1]

10. Cruz will never win a national election, and there is no guarantee a repub would win anyway

I say he should go for it. I'm tired of corporate-hugging Democrats using the Supreme Court as extortion for my vote. They have to come up with something better than that.

[yeoman6987]

11. Moving?

No way. We need you here. First Hispanic President. Gotta stay and make sure the country doesn't fall apart and with you here, it won't.

[merrily]

12. He also said he hasn't ruled out running as a Democrat, though.

He still has not decided between the two.
