Mediaite reports:
Senator Harris, one of the most popular Democrats in America right now is the guy who won here in 2016, Bernie Sanders, describes himself as a Democratic socialist, Doocy said, and asked, To compete in New Hampshire, do you have toin the Democratic primarydo you have to move more toward the Democratic socialist part of the party?
The people of New Hampshire will tell me whats required to compete in New Hampshire, but I will tell you I am not a Democratic socialist, Harris replied. I believe that what voters do want is, they want to know that whoever is going to lead understands that in America today, not everyone has equal opportunity to, and access to, a path to success.
Bernie Sanders, of course, is not a Democrat and is therefore not one of the most popular Democrats in America. He is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.

He is seeking the Democratic nomination and I trust that he will meet the bar to do so.

(9,685 posts)2. He is not a democrat
Ergo deriding Harris cause of him is just rude
And since when is realclearpolitics a barometer for Bernie supporters? Unless of course the poll that day gives them the answer they want?

Also, take that up with Realclearpolitics and other polling outfits.

"I am a Christian, an American, and a Democrat--in that order. Nothing else."

(21,063 posts)8. I am not argueing with you
just stating my opinion...if it was "just" political, why "Christian"? There is supposed to be a clear cut separation of religion and faith.

He has his own page within the topic "Democrats" and everything?
