As an Independent or a Democrat? sunRISEnow May 2018 #1

All depends on which choice gets him more Russian support. DURHAM D May 2018 #18

Lol. So we are all going to wait around for him to tell us what he wants? Ya. sunRISEnow May 2018 #22

Either way or especially if he runs as an independent it all but GUARANTEES the GOP Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #53

I do not think so. I do not think he has a foundation of support to accomplish that. sunRISEnow May 2018 #55

LOL! nt Kahuna7 May 2018 #78

See, this is the problem with the russian rabbit hole.. disillusioned73 May 2018 #94

Depends on where the money is at. nt NCTraveler May 2018 #49

Surely we Democrats will be told sometime. Really, I find this incredible this man can say sunRISEnow May 2018 #52

There are zero expectations from his base. nt NCTraveler May 2018 #56

I have zero expectation of either Bros, or Bernie, also. This is not about his supporters. sunRISEnow May 2018 #58

He already is with respect to public perception. NCTraveler May 2018 #59

If Bernie would stop being coy, then there is a lot the Democratic Party and the base can do sunRISEnow May 2018 #64

From what I understand... LiberalFighter May 2018 #116

He'll do the same thing he does to weaken the Vermont Democratic Party csziggy May 2018 #100

Would you prefer he run as a third-party candidate? shanny May 2018 #109

I hope more states pass laws requiring releases of tax returns to be on the ballot More_Cowbell May 2018 #6

i agree this needs to be one criteria..at least of the DNC...if ya want... samnsara May 2018 #14

Jerry Brown vetoed that? Okay, then the Democratic Party should make it a requirement. pnwmom May 2018 #16

I think because it could not be held up Constitutionally. So, you are probably right. sunRISEnow May 2018 #20

These laws are probably constitutional Gothmog May 2018 #87

Okay. Thanks. sunRISEnow May 2018 #88

Any Dem running for president should release TAX RETURNS first. nt oasis May 2018 #17

Maryland has adopted such a law and New Jersey is likely to adopt another law Gothmog May 2018 #86

Bernie shouldn't run.. many reasons Thekaspervote May 2018 #7

Not sure about the point of the OP, but you don't get to unilaterally decide what we want as JCanete May 2018 #35

Then HE should BE a Democrat. No more Bernie -- he was a disaster and now look what we have anneboleyn May 2018 #36

he was a disaster how? You have nothing at all to back up your claim that somehow he is the reason JCanete May 2018 #42
