It's a tactical vote that doesn't have anything to do with agreeing with Bernie. Read the article.

I understand where he's coming from. We both dislike Hillary more than we like any of the Republicans, and Bernie will probably be easier to beat in November than Hillary.

I cast mine for Bernie Sanders.

Liberalism is a terminal illness.

Sorry you've contracted it...but, who the hell cares.

FOAD.

Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.
It doesn't take a big contribution. Pick your comfort level and
please join others to help put the FReepathon to rest. Thank you.

The above note was first presented to you on 02/25 at around 11:00.
The goal shortfall at that time is depicted to you on the left.
The graphic on the right reveals our status as of 02/26 22:30.
We can finish this quickly. Let's do it.

Let's give Jim, his crew, and us a full month to rest up.

Jim, his crew, and every other FReeper thanks you.

This is pathetic. I had a lot of respect for you over these many years, but you’re now done in my book.

I will not vote for Bernie under any conceivable circumstances but I will confess to having told several earnest Hillary supporters that I will. The effect is worth the fib.

Jacoby is a pretty reliable conservative, but like so many here and elsewhere, he is held captive to binary thinking. That is not smart.

from every article I’ve seen, I agree

Hlllary has horrible character problems
Bernie appears relatively honest as far as politicians go
(which I realize ain’t saying a whole lot. but still)

and given their politics are both (to me, imho) horrible.. and very leftist)

I, too, would have voted for Bernie over Hillary. Any day.
HIllary has more baggage than American Airlines...
and I STILL am betting the D party bosses will find a way of nominating someone else. They do want to win ...

We need more strategic voters.

In 1992 Republican House Minority Leader Bob Michel said the Republicans would never win control of Congress and so we should all vote for Democrat Al-the-pal because he did favors for Michel as an agent for the majority Democrats.

We in talk radio (at the height of the Perot movement)were outraged. We crossed over and voted for Carole Mosley-Braun and she became the Democrat nominee and a non-factor in DC. We knew she would be weak in 6 years.

in 1998 we ran anti-establishment Peter Fitzgerald in the primary and he beat Carole. Peter successfully out-maneuvered Speaker of the House Hastert (also from IL) and got an corruption fighter appointed US Atty

As we hoped, the US Atty sent 2 governors, hundreds of congressmen, St Senators, St Reps, county and local officials to jail. We had hoped that all those convictions would motivate corrupt politicians to clean up their act.

We were wrong. 90% of IL Democrats and 50% of IL Republicans are still corrupt. They have an arrogance that they are above the law and it cant happen to them.

Hi Kas. Unlike the author I vote for the person I think is best. That would be Ted.

The masks are falling off, they never really were Reagan Republicans.
Anyone who advocates for fraudulently documented foreigners over American citizens cannot be conservative, even if they call themselves that.

The first thing we MUST conserve is the rule of law.

Bereft of logic, but at least you owned up to it.

only Sanders doesn't have a bad character

Leading our college youth down that path to communism is good character?

Jeff Jacoby, BIG MISTAKE.

It’s funny that he approvingly cites the Bay State’s past support for general election losers McCain and Romney.

On the Democrat ballot, the Hildebeest is clearly the correct choice. When choosing between a crook and a commie true believer, always vote for the crook!

Moreover, Hillary will be easier to beat in November, especially if James Comey and his 150 helpers at the FBI come through and recommend an indictment.

As for me, I took a Republican ballot and voted for Cruz. He came in fourth, with 9.6% and four delegates. Trump was first with 49.3% and 22 delegates. Kasich and Rubio were second and third with 18% and 8 delegates each. Carson struck out on delegates with 2.6%.

On the ‘Rat side, Hillary got 50.1% and 46 delegates, and Bernie 48.7% and 45 delegates.
