28. Under the bus only in your mind.

Jul 2014

I've not seen anyone throw Bernie Sanders under any bus on DU. What I've seen is DUers saying that he should run as a Democrat in the primaries in 2016, if he chooses to run. I've even said clearly that I'd vote for him in my own primary election if he runs. I don't believe he will be the eventual nominee, however, based on historical precedent. My vote will go to the actual nominee in November of 2016.

This thread attacks people in general who don't seem to actually be on DU at all. Perhaps your mind is deceiving you in some way on this subject. I'd hate to think that was true, though.

I didn't know their was a sizable crowd here opposed to Bernie. NCTraveler Jul 2014 #30

There isn't. So one wonders what the motivation of the OP really is. To be divisive? KittyWampus Jul 2014 #33

That is what I was thinking. NCTraveler Jul 2014 #35
