So Bernie Sanders is running as an independent this fall?

Sorry no link. Heard it on Fox news Radio. Surely this hurts the Democratic party right? He will win his state easily I believe but surely the party as a whole will take a hit here. He had a lot of younger voters.
Anyone have any thoughts on what this will do if anything to the DNP?

Bernie Sanders is an independent. Always has been.

I hear there's about to be a bunch of Democrats running. :rimshot:

I thought he ran as a democratic socialist.

I hear that’s how Lenin got his start. Carefree independent.

I hope Bernie runs as an Independent for two reasons:
1) Trump will have 2020 sealed up
2) As crazy as he is I think he’s a better candidate than any of the other jabronis’ I have seen being floated around for Dems to run

Bernie is not now nor has he been a Democrat. He runs each time as an Independent. He campaigns against Democrats in Vermont.

This tells you all you really need to know about Sanders. Too left for Democrats in Vermont, lol.

They need to watch his campaign funds very closely to see that any money he is given is not funneled to support what must be a $3,000.00 per month Depends Diaper budget.

That would be a legitimate campaign expense, can't have a candidate shitting or pissing his or herself at events.

Bernie Sanders and I agree on about absolutely zero, but I find him refreshing in Washington. He’s principled, say what you will about those principles, but I find him to be kind of like Rand Paul in that regard, just on the complete opposition of the spectrum.
frick “Democratic Socialism.”

He runs as a independent for senate for some reason but he is a democrat. He wouldn’t run as a independent for president because the democrats would end his career.

He had always run as an independent. He just caucuses with the Democrats for procedural reasons.

Bernie likes to call himself an independent.
But if it walks like a duck, quacks like duck, and looks like a duck- it’s a duck.
He votes like a dim, he talks like a dim, he ran for president as a dim- he’s a dimocrat.

I agree he’s principled and I have respect for that in general but he sold his soul when he endorsed Hillary even after she cheated against him. That was pathetic.
