10. Our party is actually more progressive than it's been in a long time.

Only a few DINOs still talk about Grand Bargains, austerity policies, etc. There's majority support for expanding Social Security, we've pushed back hard on the TPP and the Keystone XL. So your hysteria about the "DLC/Third Way Party" seems a tad overwrought.

How on earth do you expect progressive Democratic senators to support a candidate who has said, numerous times, that there is NO difference between Democrats or Republicans? A man who refused to run in his state on the Democratic ticket because it would be "hypocritical" of him after all the things he'd said about them?

I agree. And it would be hypocritical of a Democratic senator to endorse him.

As to your remark about a kid taking his marbles and going home... well, you're the one who said it.
