In the list of the best possible candidates the dims could pick, bernie has GOT to top the list


Bernie is not a Democrat. They changed the rules earlier and only Democrats can run in a Democrat primary.

How long does he have to be a Democrat so you can run for their Presidential nomination? Bernie can simply reregister as a Democrat before the deadline.

So that would mean that they'll be nominating individuals even *more* unelectable than ILLary.So in 2024 watch for that dizzy Puerto Rican dame from Queens to be their nominee.

Just for the sheer entertainment value, I would love to see a conservative judge (perhaps in Nebraska?) issue a ruling saying the Democrats can’t do it.

Technically yes, politically perhaps not.

His socialist supporters would disown him as a sell out.

But I would encourage him to go for it. It will be fun to watch

I thought Bernie had already announced that he will be running as an independent in 2020.

That could be a plus — in the general, he could take votes away from the Dem nominee.

I get the feeling this is meant to discourage Hillary from running again.

Kaga was the name of one of the Japanese carriers that participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I would not use it.

“delivering a significant victory for Bernie Sanders and his supporters ahead of 2020.”

not just Sanders, but also wacko leftists far to the left of Bernie ... the Dem presidential candidates are all going to try to out-leftist each other to cater to the furthest extremes of their party ... the Dem presidential primaries and debates are going to be something to behold ... be sure to stock up on popcorn before the shelves run bare ...
