I (a lowly BU student) crashed an MIT party and he also crashed it. Cool guy. Doesn't drink. (I hear he donated a kidney to his mother, so that would make sense.)

Looks like our clown car is only a two seater for now. Neither strike me as being Democrats though. They certainly haven't demonstrated that they have a progressive agenda. I would like to see them debate each other though.

It's good to know that the RW doesn't have a monopoly on nuttiness though. It really is, it is easy to forget when you got the Palin types running around making word salad.

his group passing out papers at the auto factory parking lots. Pretty way out even back then. Now his people are on corners in Michigan with big posters of our President with a Hitler mustache. Strange bird, that one.

I think he is just some weirdo that has chosen to use the Democrat lable for whatever reason. Just as I suspect there are Republicans In Name Only well I actually know a few former RINOs they call themselves Independents now.

He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness (and zombie-based energy plan) and time travel research,[9] and he promises a free pony for every American.

(Not his exact words.) That comes closer to a declaration than anything else I've read or heard.

so thrilled with him that they don't run anyone against him. If you want to be further right about it than Sens. Schumer and Reid and the DNC combined, be my guest.

However, I did not either advance Sanders or put him down. I merely responded to the literal statement of your OP with a factual statement. Did your OP have a hidden agenda that I missed?
