    Bernie is not a Democrat. I have no idea if he's going to be influenced by party hacks telling him to drop out.

    One thing to remember about him is his advanced age. He may just be unwilling to drop out because this is his last chance to make an impact and he's unlikely to see himself as a threat to elect Donald Trump.

    A Libertarian by definition is unable to govern a large unruly country. You have to be able to make rules and enforce them to have a prayer of succeeding in that endeavor.

    I know you're going to be offended by this, but the fact is that a Libertarian government is a great idea that would never work in practice. The outliers would destroy it every time. The guy stripping on stage in proximity to GJ's speech at the convention was a perfect example of what happens when you have no legitimate authority in play.

    Problem is I think Hillary could use Bernie as her VP. She wins this if he tag teams with her to take on Trump

    Being libertarian doesn't mean not making rules and enforcing them. That's just a fundamental misunderstanding on your part.

    Here's an interesting thread related to his time as NM governor.

    Meh, he's old enough to see how balls and strikes are getting called at this point. He doesn't give a fuck. Ralph Nader .o2.

    That's the point. Nader didn't care if he threw the election to Bush as long as he knocked the Clintonistas out of power and got the Democrats back on the Left where they belonged.

    I think Bernie just doesn't think he's capable of throwing the election to Trump by giving Hillary and the Clintonistas the business for another month or two.

    If Bernie thought he was going to throw the election to Trump he'd be bowing out right about now.

    Ralph Nader's lasting contribution to the Twenty-first century was the Iraq War and Homeland Security. Quite a legacy for a guy who was on the side of the average guy for most of his life and then made one fatal error late in life.

    With or without Sanders, Clinton's a lock.

    Liz Warren has more balls than the entire RNC! That's gonna be a great role for her as sledgehammer for Hillary. Lets see how Trump's temperament holds up to real attacks as getting him angry seems to be easy.

    She's an idiot. I think it's racist to claim you're a Native American when you aren't

    That's just how she identifies. I don't think she's an idiot at all. She's sharp as a tack.

    Then the entire state of Oklahoma is racist. Every one of those soft-headed whiteys claims to be from one tribe or another.

    I wonder if she did the 23&me DNA test. Hard to say who's what these days..One thing I can say is that she's no idiot unlike the Oligarch that doesn't know which photo to use depicting D-Day.

    Speaking of which... how stupid is it out for anyone to actually provide their FUCKING DNA to some private company for the sake of being told what their background is?

    I'm admitting my ignorance about the ability for them to give information about genealogy, but I do know those companies can easily sell that DNA to genome research facilities which in turn can patent a DNA strain that interests them. Maybe my favorite dickface Cappy can shed some light.

    Not only that, but really can't that outfit basically make any shit up about your background and ship it back to you? Who's really going to independently verify it?

    My wife did this without my knowledge and my response was similar to yours. Her results suggested she had unknown Polish ancestry and derived from the Neanderthal line. So I'm married to a polack with a small brain. Sounds about right.
