Bernie Sanders 2016

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

comes with the territory

I understand that but that wasn't my question.

I understand that but that wasn't my question.

I think despite Hillary's fantasy about a vast right wing conspiracy that she has created the extra scrutiny with her actions. Bernie was right she is sucking up to wall street and she is bought and paid for. Bernie didn't have the guts to drive that point home and call her out on it and he's paying the price. its kind of like a prize fighter who gets the crowd behind him then throws the fight when he has his opponent on the ropes. I don't understand why you create a movement then pull back on the punches with the opponent who actually represents what you are fighting.

that's the thing about trump he will call out anyone and everyone regardless of party affiliation who does not fight the good fight.

Please tell us what Bernie should have said that he didn't say.

Please be specific about what you wanted him to say.

Please be specific about what you wanted him to say.

He wanted him to call her fat and talk about cankles. Also beat the dead horse in Benghazi and maybe even call her a closet lesbian. Realnewfieguy isn't interested in Bernie's talk about her policies or ties to corporate influence. He just wanted him to throw insults devoid of any substance like a pissed off rich middle schooler.

Basically he wasn't trump enough.

 

[Babagounj]

He could start with Whitewater, Filegate , Travelgate, Mistressgate, IRSgate, and Chinagate .

Why would independents be able to vote in a Democratic primary? Primaries are elections for members of its own party. Independents can vote in the general election but they have no Constitutional right to do so in a primary.

Where in the Constitution does it state that I have to be a member of any political party to vote? In Wisconsin, I can vote for anyone of the dam crooks without registering with any party.

...in a general election....primaries have their own set of rules, which are there for a reason...

Independents chose to be independent. As such they chose to not join in and participate in the voting that took place in those parties. They are more then welcome to join those parties and participate but chose not to. Another silly argument.

Some of us vote for the person and their stated policies. We are not sheep and just mark the ballot because there is an R or a D behind the name. This shouldn't prohibit us from primary voting.

We don't register with any party in Wisconsin. The only restriction we have in primary elections is we cannot split a vote.

BHO was smart in picking Biden , nobody wanted Biden to take over in an emergency .
That being said who is left for Hillary to choose , certainly not Warren she's too smart . How about that Rep who thought Guam would tip over , he looks like a good pick. Or better yet she could just choose Biden .

How do you spell potato?

If you choose to not join a party why should you be allowed to vote for their potential candidates in a primary? Nothing prevents you from registering as a member of that party but if you choice is to do otherwise there are consequences.

Voting when not a member would be like letting management vote in union elections wouldn't it?

Using your sheep analogy....if you don't wear the 'brand', you have no say at this ranch.

We have open primaries here in Wisconsin and can vote for anyone. I first registered to vote about 40 years ago. Do not recall if I had to choose a party affiliation or not.

Depends on the state.

I'm registered Independent in MA and can vote for either party in the primaries.

States are allowed to have their own primary rules. If they choose to be more restrictive or more open they are allowed to do so. Its not a Constitutional issue.
