Its like watching us do the GOPs dirty work. And you're right, even candidates that he has endorsed or worked with get tarred with this irrational hatred. Bernie is supposed to be granted the same respect as official Ds as far as DU rules, and I am frankly flabbergasted at how much some get away with bad-mouthing him. He came in second behind Biden, just recently, in Democrats support for running if he did. Even if someone, for reasons I can only guess, despise the man, at least hold your tongue while he energizes and attracts new voters.

I also think Bernie or Hillary should not run. Same reason I think Pelosi should retire at some point soon. Maybe you are right that this is not the best time though, but thats for another thread. We need to show the American public that we are the party of the future. We are. But saying it and looking like it are two different things.
