(47,470 posts)49. Why was Sanders allowed to run as a Democrat?
This is the precedent that he sat.
He is not a Democrat, has never been a Democrat - except when manipulating the Vermont Senatorial primaries. He has actively campaigned against Democratic candidates, including wishing for someone to primary challenge Obama in 2012.
Yes, it is time to change this, before it is too late.
And Sanders did very well on these pages which is why I theorized, above, that many of these die hard supporters have transferred their wish to his disciple.

I never liked her. From the first time I saw her (even BEFORE she showed her true self.)

I have always saw her as being loud, empty on policy substance and really angry.
