Vermont's Legislature has 94 Democrats, 5 progressives, 3 independents, and 47 Republicans.

It is clear that in Vermont, registration and party membership are not the same.

Clearly, the Democrats in Vermont know who the Democrats are.

And, finally, read the article. Sander's said he would do what it takes to get in all 50 states.

If that means he has to be recognized as an official Democrat, I am sure he can manage that. He has a talented team.

Thank you for posting this. TM99 May 2015 #1
