I believe that it was his intention to drive Obama to the left when he suggested primarying Obama. Now he wants to drive Hillary to the left.

What he suggested about Obama being primaried was irresponsible. But as an independent, he had nothing to lose at the time. How many people were actually listening to him anyway?

I think his continued campaign for President as a Democrat is also irresponsible. We can all see how it is dividing the Democratic Party. Let him run as an independent, which he is. Why allow him to use the resources of a party he refuses to join? If he wants more debates, let him pay for them. The Democratic Party should not foot the bill for it.

The repiggies are eating it up.
