13. So you don't think Bernie Sanders could have changed his party registration for the good of the USA?

Bernie does vote in the Democratic caucus in the Senate.

He certainly could change his party registration.

The fact is that he chose not to do so.

The issue isn't that Bernie can't primary Obama. The issue is that he won't.

So, someone had to step up to the plate for the progessives and New Deal type Dems.

Darcy Richardson answered that call.
