24. I think it's more like is the party ready to rejoin him. He's a New Deal, Great Society Democrat

Not a Rahm Emanuel corporate concierge one.

If the Democratic Party does not start to look and ACT more like their progressive base, the party will die.

Or worse, they will live, but continue to keep the dying but still dangerous GOP alive by not putting enough daylight between Democrats and Republicans on economic, education, foreign policy, regulation & prosecution of Wall Street and banks, and a host of other issues where policy is not the result of study or good arguments but is bought.

35. He's not any sort of "Democrat" at all.

He's an Independent. He left the Democratic party right after the election.

Until he joins the party outside of primary season and stays, he's not a Democrat.

54. Yeah, he's only caucused with the Party, been one of the most reliable votes for the Party...

... in the last 20 plus years, has held chairmanships with the Party, and sits on the Democratic Senate Leadership with the other Party leaders.

Lol.

Where do you come up with this shit?

THE BERNIE WARS CONTINUE!!!

90. The Democratic Party's Base is African American Women and and Men.. in that order.

You're exactly right, Jackie.. it's not the foot stompers who don't show up for elections to teach the Democratic Party one of their stupid lessons that have brought us the Fascistrumps.

STFD, STFU -- NOW!!!

12. I'm one of Bernie's two million donors from last time.

And I'm ready to pony up again unless someone better is in the race -- and right now I don't see much likelihood of that.

Andrew Cuomo will probably run. He has a full-fledged "D" after his name. He's also been complicit in allowing continued Republican control of the New York State Senate. To me, such actions are a lot more important than a party label.

18. After the Last Election, It's Doubtful the DNC Would Support a Non-Democrat for President

Bernie would need to join the party he wants to represent.

... wait for it...

20. The DNC didn't support him last time, either.

Bernie went up against the candidate who had more early support (polls, name recognition, endorsements, money) than any other non-incumbent in recent history, including her support from the DNC. Under those adverse circumstances, he pulled more than 40 percent of the vote.

It's widely expected that 2020 will be a much more open race with a large field. Furthermore, the DNC will be under closer scrutiny about compliance with its own neutrality rule.

I suspect you're referring to the widespread idea on
DU that the DNC will pass a rule against Bernie and that all the state and territorial election authorities will dutifully obey and bar him from the ballot. Contrary to this widespread idea, the DNC actually has no such power. If the DNC were to exercise its power at the convention -- by refusing to seat duly elected delegates because they support a candidate whom the party oligarchs dislike -- the PR hit would be enormous.

People who oppose Bernie's ideas are certainly free to support other candidates. They should not, however, count on a deus ex machina solution from the DNC.

What??

Do you mean to tell me that after all the moonbat money he funneled back into the party treasury, AND the work he put into herding you loons to the polling booths to pull the lever for Ursula the Sea Witch instead of wandering off to the Green/Socialist Workers/CPUSA parties in frustration, the Party Establishment would still shake their heads in regret if he were to put on his Hillary mask and remind them - just as she did - that they owe him big, and it's HIS turn?

So which one of Bernie's three houses did they meet in? 

Was it the one on a beautiful lake that he had time to "acquire" during the primary at just about the same time he went eerily quiet about being cheated out of the nomination by HiLIARy?

Has Jane Sanders gotten her Big House yet?

Berns is so old, the odds are good he won't be in great shape for a run for anything except a casket.
