Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Allegedly repubbacans want Bernie to be the Dem candidate, NOT Joe Biden. Is it because Bernie identifies himself as a socialist?
I think the whole thingy is very weird m2c. I'm sitting back and watching what happens. We sent in our Primary ballots Friday, Valentine's Day. Mum's the word for WHOM we voted of course. Interesting to see how emotional folks are about whom they support. We are emotionless because we think it's just gonna boil down to a "best guess" crapshoot Russian Roulette.. Emotion free whom we're for. SIGH. Thank you for your reply m'dear! :)
That's ridiculous. It is because Bernie has BEEN THERE CONSISTENTLY AND PROVED HIS WORTH OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HE DOES NOT LIE HE DOES NOT PROMISE BALONEY. HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. HE WROTE THE HEALTH CARE BILL.
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?????
CALLING BERNIE A SOCIALIST IS WHAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT HIM TO RUN CALL HIM.
THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE STANDS FOR AND ARE AFRAID SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE TAKEN FROM THEM TO FEED THOSE WHO NEED FEEDING. THE STINGY. THE STUPID. AND THE UNINFORMED. THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND GOVERNMENT UNDERSTAND HOW BERNIE'S POLICIES WORK. CALLING ANYONE A SOCIALIST IN THIS COUNTRY JUST TELLS ME THEY HAVE NO CLUE HOW SOCIALISM IN AMERICA WORKS.
WE ALL ARE SOCIALISTS. WHAT WE ARE NOT IS COMMUNISTS. PEOPLE IN AMERICA CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. IF TRUMP WERE BERNIE AND WAS A SOCIALIST, HE WOULD BE A COMMUNIST. BECAUSE HE IS A DICTATOR.

He calls himself a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST. Sharon. We did not apply that label to him. He wears it and promulgates and is riding on it. Where do you get the idea we had anything to do with how he presents himself? Whatever. Thank you for your reply.
I think it's because Bernie has allegedly said he would want Hillary Clinton as a running mate.
It would be interesting to hear what Bernie's supporters who refused to vote for Hillary in 2016 (because of her corrupt cheating him of the nomination) would think/do with that ticket. Would they "bite the bullet" and vote for Bernie/Hillary? Or would they continue to protest Hillary, though it hurt Bernie's chances?
I heard Bloomberg last night, but the radio this morning said Bernie. Maybe they misspoke, since it was a local sports show.
After looking around the cobWEB ... Bernie has actually stated his campaign hasn't even started considering running mates yet.
Maybe that's why the Republicans would rather run against him. 78 years old ... a heart attack 4 months ago, which we still don't know too much about his medical records. Maybe they're hoping he'll just keel over on the campaign trail, leaving the Democrats scrambling.

Yeah ..it will never be the Hillary cow...ever? Bloomburger?! Fat chance given he is another that is a billionaire and exactly the type of person Bernie is against on politics. My bet is that it may be aa woman and some completley out of left field. I originally thought Warren was a good possibility but she blew it.

Hillary can go straight to Hell. Do not pass go, Do not collect a Billuon dollars. I do not know where you heard that rediculosness as I have not ever heard it.
Bernie is not now nor ever has been my cuppa tea. I voted for Hillary because voting for dumb don was not an option. If he selects her I think he seals his doom. Whatever. Thank you for your reply Walt! :)

Bernie has always struck me as somebody I would enjoy sitting and discussing ideology/philosophy with ... but wouldn't necessarily want in charge of implementing anything.
You know - like philosophy majors in college, who have no idea how the "real world" works.
