The last I heard, Bernie is not affiliated with the Democratic party. His input on their direction is no more relevant than Donald Trump's: merely the opinions of an outsider who wishes to stir things up.

And Politico is doing their part to help spread the Bernie-hater propaganda. We see you Politico... Bernie is America's choice. Stop resurrecting the Hillarycrat War. Hillary lost, stop reminding us. MSNBC is bad to do this also.

Bernie did the same thing to Hillary. Moo moo

i like how the hillary clinton-type democrats can look at poll after poll and see bernie leading kamala like 25% to 8, and then demand that bernie drop out because he has no chance or something.

Epitomizes the cancer that has beset our political system. deepstate apparatchiks pretending to protect 'democracy' when in fact they are bent on suffocating it on behalf of the oligarchy they serve. neeratanden is an odious soulless tool who should be called out hack

Bernie is not a democrat.

That means Bernie is causing pain to these corrupt politicians, this mafia, lets go Bernie, I’m a Democrat and my vote is yours.

Neera & amprog liberal? Not on the planet I inhabit. Come on , your material used to have more integrity than this.

As irritating as I find this whole spectacle, he’s not wrong about that stupid-ass thinkprogress article being a poorly-disguised hit job. It’s just dumb to blow it up into some big deal like he has.

Laugh out loud. Here we go again. 3rd party candidate. Keep think about the name. That not forget liberal D billionaires donor George Soros. Soros feud with Sanders. Wow

More nonsense about division.

Politico––never fails to make me laugh.

GOP eyes ‘Medicare for All’ vote to highlight Democratic splitsMitch McConnell has not yet said whether he’ll bring the health care bill up for a vote, but some Republicans are hopeful he will. This from the guy who doesn't like to hold 'show votes.' I remember during the shutdown, that someone who looked like a turtle refused to have political show votes. Ah well...hypocrisy is the new GOP standard. Based on the NY Times article below, plagiarist Meredith McIver was as close to trump as Cohen, Hicks, Weisselberg, or Schiller, and we need to FINALLY hear from her. But if she’s another John Barron, then the entire press is guilty of EPIC malpractice.
