2. Greatest democrat of all time right there folks!

[puffy socks]

3. He's not a Democrat.

He's just using them to leverage his campaign.

Paul Wellstone is the best Progressive ever, imo

4. Um, we have a two party system. Fact. Sad, but true.

[puffy socks]

7. He stated he's not a democrat.

He's only going to be one until the convention when he loses after the first ballot.

9. I have no idea what it means to be a Democrat anymore myself,

so I get where he is coming from. Let's just say since caucusing with the Ds for years, he's proably got an idea or two.

Why has HRC has gone over to The Dark Side for money? Back to her roots?

5. Said the Wellstone thing...

was never investigated.

8. They released their 2014 taxes.

that's as much as we know at this point.


The Sanders’ have partially released their 2014 tax return and on the return, Jane Sanders is still drawing a salary as an alternate commissioner for the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission. (TLLRWD Commissioner)

This is the commission that oversaw the Sierra Blanca dump site, that Sanders voted for and also voted to strip out the Wellstone amendment in conference.

The Wellstone amendment would have given legal recourse to this mostly poor Latino community to fight the placement of this waste dump, if they could prove environmental racism. The compact was passed, with vigorous help from Sanders. Later and fortunately the dump was scuttled by the state of Texas.

This is just for 2014. Mrs. Sanders could have been drawing a salary for years and unless they release more tax returns we'll never know for sure.

12. So many donors.....

and sooooooooo many votes behind.
He did a great job fundraising but not so good at growing the "revolution".
Still he and his supporters can be proud of what they've accomplished.
