    Will Bernie decide to run as third party ? ...

    It's now pretty obvious that his chances of being the
    democrat candidate have been blown away by Biden,
    but he doesn't seem inclined to throw in the towel just
    yet even though he's being urged to do just that. He
    probably has his share of pride and might shy away from
    quitting as he did in the last election. Doing it again
    could earn him the demeaning and unwelcome title of
    'Quitter'. I don't think he'd like that. He's got nothing
    to lose, well, except the election, and he still has a
    fairly large following. So, I wouldn't be at all surprised
    if he went for it. Interesting thought anyway.

      Go, Bernie, go! I'll even contribute money to help him fund a third party race.

      We have a local nut job who's going around and putting up Bernie signs -- all dated 2016.

        I'm still hoping Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii will pull a Ross Perot and run as an Independent.

        She has been sh*t on by the democrat party from day one, Hillary even accusing her of being a Russia spy like every one else.

          Let's pick one -- and Bernie is the best. Everyone knows who he is, but if you say, "Tulsi Gabbard," 99.99% of the people will say, "Tulsi, who?"

          Bernie will draw far more leftwing votes and do more damage to the Biden campaign.

              No idea what you think that means.

              But Bernie has never been shy about identifying who he thought was the biggest problem in the country today.

                  I thought he was speaking about himself. After all who in the U.S. would want a communist as a president?

                      I agree with you on Bernie but I doubt he would run seeing how far behind he is.

                      Tulsi Gabbard is a woman, a younger candidate, more of a moderate democrat and as far as no one knowing her the debates haven't started yet.

                      Remember, no one knew WTF obama or carter was either.

                      Would she win? Hell no, but it would make Trumps re-election easier and she has a bone to pick with the democrats.

                        The Democrats will see she never qualifies for a debate.

                        Most people still don't.

                        But our interest is, will she draw votes from Biden?

                            Yes. She's a democrat with democrat ways. She will draw a lot of the women voters and those who remember Biden as being in office 8 years w/o doing a single thing.

                              He's not that important except probably to his Mother.
