On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that, despite winning the Democratic primary, he will run for re-election in 2018 as an Independent.
Sanders said, “I have always run as an Independent, and that’s what I will do. And I think people in Vermont understand that. We have a very good relationship with the Democratic Party. I suspect that this coming campaign we’ll be putting more money — our campaign will be putting more money into the Vermont Democratic Party than anybody else and supporting a whole lot of good Democratic candidates.”
Host Ali Velshi then asked, “So, you will decline the Democratic nomination?”
Sanders answered that he would.

Feel the Bern. Not even a tranny4gov could get Bernie to go Dem.

He should start his own party.

He better hire a good security team pronto. The DNC will put a hit on him for sure.

Bernie will be taking some Democrat votes for sure, but as we know the Democrats know how to “create” voters out of thin air!

Democrat party is beginning its tailspin if Republicans do well in November that will be intolerable for the left.

debatable. it's possible the dnc hijinx against ol' berny cost cankles more votes than if he'd just run as independent.
what effect his candidacy in the dumbocrap 2020 primary might be is unknowable.

All smoke and kabuki theater on the part of Sanders. He and the Dems are still Marxists at the thigh so they will help each other no matter what they say in the news.
Remember, “Marxists/Progressives of a feather flock together” (against the common enemy, American capitalism and the Constitution/Bill of Rights).
To: ameribbean expat
Well, the DNC did stab him in the back.
Will Antifa provide his campaign security?

Yep. Probably just a threat. Maybe they’ll give in, or at the least offer him a plum job.
But as an independent, he’d be the dream candidate.

Kasich will probably announce tomorrow that he’s running also as an Independent. - LOL
To: Grimmy
Kinda like I’m thinking. He’s putting himself in position to be bought off, and maybe looking at a bundle from campaign contributions.
