    Not being a democrat, I don't know, but the positive side of it is it may mean "the slippery siren" may not get the nod. Sanders may be about 10mm shy of Lenin, but at least you KNOW what and who he is and stands for (and THAT'S what a LOT of younger Americans like - why do you think Don Trumplione is kicking the crap out of the rest of the GOP candidates? He speaks his mind. Without reservation or fear. Sanders is doing the same thing, and he's killing the thing.

    People are TIRED of BS politicos and the plethora of scruple-selling they do to get elected and hold on to the job. They want honesty and integrity - and most of these people just ain't got it.

    These 2, Trump and Sanders, see this, and instead of working to see who can be the most politically correct, they're running on the "what you see is what you get, no apologies" platform.

    It sure beats the "I don't remember, and at the time it wasn't classified" slick willie BS.

      This is true. Every time I see a sound bite by Shrillary, I think of Joe Isuzu saying "You have my word on it." She is totally phony, and anybody that votes for her is just looking for a handout.

        Ohiocrossroads I agree but as I, personally ,not officially, see the problem with Mrs. William Clinton, is the women voters, They are obsessed with having female leader no matter how distrustful or un.accomplished just like the identity voters of 2008 with their "change artist".

        As Carly Fiorina so easily demonstrates there are plenty of qualified women and insisting on rewarding Bill's wife for the shame he caused her with bimbos is totally self destructive.

        Women fought like wildcats to get the vote and it is so juvenile to waste it on someone as devious as Mrs. Clinton,,,,, You can do better if you want a president to be proud of....Taking revenge on the men and the country just to give away the office to an underserving female is beneath America and the freedom of voting.

      In terms of how fast we go socialist, yes. Look at what electing the current socialist did to health care. We got something that no one even read.

        And Romney as a Republican did exactly the same thing for Mass. before the current socialist. And Kasich as a Republican jumped right on board the vast expansion of welfare/Medicare with the current socialist. And Reagan as a Republican Conservative granted Amnesty to some 8 million illegal aliens, 30 years before the current socialist.

    Hillary is OUT. Sanders would be a good democratic candidate. He would not win at this point in time. Perhaps in 12 years if the country slides into more socialism. I want Trump as president and Mark Cuban as VP. At least we get to find out whats really going on. No one shuts Trump up !! Or Mark Cuban for that matter.

      You may be right. I thought she could deflect anything but there seems to be something here. I wonder if the CIA is paying her back for what happened to Petraeus?

        I think this is the tip of the iceberg with Hillary. I am getting the impression that her reincarnation of Nixon attitudes have hidden a LOT of dirt over the years, and maybe this one is the straw that broke the camels back. I say she should pull out now and not waste money. She is never getting elected.

          From what I read the Obamas hate her as well. They can drip out damaging info and torpedo her campaign. I would enjoy seeing her go down.

            That's why my thinking has become so perverted that I find myself hoping poor bumbling Biden decides to run.. It would give Obama a real reason to not back Mrs. Clinton in retaliation for the way she and Bill treated Obama, and it would siphon votes away. I am as conservative an Objectivist American voter as I can be, but I would rather see anyone now running , from either party, in our oval office than Ms. Clinton. Sorry, but that's how destructive I think she would be.. We will eventually survive the amateur Obama but he does not have the meanness and dishonesty of a woman as practiced as Ms. Clinton.

            During the last election, she actually said she would resign as sec of state IF Obama was re-elected. I thought that was an interesting statement of dislike on her part. No wonder he doesnt like her

    Democrat is short for Socialist Democrat Labor Party except i believe in Minnesota where it was Farm-Labor.

    So let's look at some possibilities.

    1. State Laws in this respect are different. As they should be.

    2. Some pigs are more equal than other pigs.

    3. At some point the Democrats and Uncle Fuzzy were at odds but they didn't want to lose the vote.

    4. At some point Uncle Fuzzy was at odds with the Democrats but didn't want to quit voting the party line.

    5. He had become an embarrassment to the State. An Olympia Snow. Less so using the fuzzy bear sobriquet of Independent which means not much of anything. Less threatening.

    6. The Party did not want another Wayne Morse so he became an Independent Maverick.

    7. It's his swan song and he doesn't want to go out having accomplished nothing except pork.

    8. Like any good fellow traveler he wanted a cover story that fit the constantly changing. Truth IS that which serves the party label.

    9. Your turn.

      I think the powers that be never expected him to be anything more than a side show. He is extreme and if he starts to get national coverage I'm hoping he damages the Democrat brand.

        Since they are now past Biden and looking at All Bore I'm inclined to believe they are positioning, in the lead, one of their right wing of the left wing choices. It is after all a one party system of government. In which case you should refer to the Poll currently in progress - it now has a purpose.

    He is a fellow socialist, like all modern Dems, who advocate living off of Other People's Money. Plus, some low info voters may think it is a new sequel to the movie "Weekend at Bernie's."

    the DNC chairwoman Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz cannot
    name the difference between a socialist and a Democrat ...
    so, in parallel, they can't name the difference between
    this Independent and a Democrat!!! -- j

    Why: Because the Republican side is full up.

    I thought he WAS an R became an I, and is now a registered D.

      I think he ran years ago as a Socialist and then switched to Democrat but I guess he switched to Independent. It just seems strange to let someone like him run for the nomination when he isn't even registered as a D. He is proving to more people, hopefully, just how far the Democrats have shifted left.

    The Democratic Party do things as they please. If they want to certify someone as privileged to run in one of their primaries, State Secretaries of State and Directors of Elections cannot gainsay them.
