One of Bernie Sanders’ biggest union supporters has called on him to consider running as an independent candidate if Democratic party leaders continue to refuse to give him access to his campaign’s voter records.
The Democratic National Committee suspended all access for the Sanders team to a shared database system as punishment for a data breach in which a number of staff accessed records belonging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign during a software glitch.

Oh boy....gotta get more popcorn....
Might as well give it a try ... the fix is in for Hillary.
Notice how EVERY interview Trump is asked about a third party run.
Bernie said he wouldn’t but he’s suing the DNC for $600,000 per day he’s denied access to the donor database. His base voters are up in arms.
It would be incredible if the race was Hillary, Bernie, Trump and Rubio. Now that would be a great election. Who will win???????? No idea because really until everyone presses the button nobody knows.
Ha!
True, but they occasionally sling feces at each other and spill interesting stories about each other.
I was not interested in the debate tomorrow night but I am now. We have a Christmas party to attend so I already have it programmed on the DVR. I hope is it historic. Maybe one will hit the other.....lol. They always say our debates are circus’....well we might have some competition this round.
Someone pointed out in my thread earlier today, in the absence of a majority the House of Representatives would pick the top candidates and the U.S. Senate would vote on who would be the next President. Lincoln was elected this way with 40% of the popular vote.
Of course, Bill was elected thanks to Ross Perot.
George W. was elected thanks to Ralph Nader’s Green Party run.
Bernie has one very big advantage as a candidate over Hillary - he’s fairly new to most of them and he’s not known as such a liar and cheat as is youknowwho. Also, Many democrats will vote for anybody they think can finally beat , get rid of, Hillary - who they greatly dislike (even voters who liked her hubby). Having said that, I sure hope the Gop-e doesn’t throw the election again
We should all write to Bernie and beg him to go third party.
For the sake of the country and the world, I hope this leads to a full-blown Democratic Party civil war. Bernie Sanders could be the Democrats’ Ross Perot.
I think the last time there was a four way split like that Lincoln won. Then thing got interesting.
Oh my gosh, if the House picks the President.......definitely no Bernie, no Hillary and no Cruz. I guess it would be Rubio if those 4 are running. I don’t think Cruz could get the votes.........Trump is a mystery for the House.....I have no idea if he would have enough support.
The GOPe is happy to have their congressional piggy bank. Give the Democrats what they want and they get their cut and keep their jobs. Having a conservative like Trump or Cruz is their worst nightmare. They really don’t want to govern. They want to be the (dis)loyal opposition.
We need a shake up. I hope it happens. Yes it is risky for all 4 but who cares. I think the country needs a lesson in politics anyway.
PLEASE let this happen. I want to see liberals murder each other for a change.
Run Bernie! Run!
Run all the way as an independent!
Understood. It’s really sad
Here’s a HuffPo Bernie socialist explaining how he’s getting hosed:
nd Clinton’s true colors come out. They should have stayed quiet. Now it looks like the Clinton team pushed for the ban. Where was all this concern in October? And no one stole anything - no one hacked. The Vendor NGP Van had bad code and has had the so called firewall down before. Sanders team claims their data was breached in October. None of this would be an issue if the information was simply shared by all Dems. CEO of vendor is a former Clinton Staffer and HRC backer FYI. This is backfiring on the DNC and the Clinton campaign. They play dirty and are not honest. Sanders team quickly fired the head staffer who had noticed the breach and accessed some data. Volunteers can’t be held accountable for doing something I doubt they even knew was wrong. However breaking a contract with the Sanders campaign is wrong and the suit will end up coming back to haunt the DNC. All of this because the DNC is afraid of Sanders. Good. They should be. It’s war now. Now there is no longer a pretense. Sanders doesn’t need HRC hard core voters in a general but Hillary does. So the DNC either just assured a Sanders victory or a Rubio victory depending on how the primary turns out. I don’t believe Hillary can generate enough excitement for a general election to get people to show up for her on election day but the first latino President could. Sanders by contrast can rally people to the polls and his appeal is bi-partisan.

TigerClaws: The lawsuit is for $600,000 per day by Sanders against the DNC.
The other reallllly interesting thing is this is a day before the debate.
Is Sanders, who has kissed Hillary’s fat a** in debates, going to take off the gloves?
Her emails...
Her Wall Street backers....
Her being Secretary of State while the world burned?
I might actually tune in for the first ten minutes to see if we’ll see a fun one.
