WR is dead wrong about Bernie costing Hillary the election and has shown me nothing. And even if he did, he still did it the right way and Stein did it the wrong way.

Do you not understand Bernie did nothing different than what Obama did when he ran against Hillary. Tell me the difference.

And had Obama lost against Hillary in the primary, do you not know a lot of African Americans would have stayed home? And in fact probably more than Bernie supporters did because many of those folks were never going to vote for Hillary because he stole them from the Republican; BUT African American vote 95% dem in every election.

Do you and WR not understand the difference between running in a primary in the same party and in a third party? We liberals better get that one figured out. Liberal third parties are a death nail.

Do you want to do away with primaries? How would that work?

Bernie did it the right way. He did it exactly like Obama did, he ran in the Democratic party and after he lost he supported Hillary.

That is how it works.

One other thing about Bloomberg. He is no FDR. He was a Republican for 30 something years.

And still basically a moderate Republican.

And any grown person who has not figured out what the Republicans are about in 30 years does not have sufficient vision to get us out of this mess put forth the necessary policies.
