This is our moment. SusanaMontana41 Jul 2015 #33

Can he win..I think so but only if the American people say enough is enough..in a very deep way. Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #40

"Reckless and impulsive"? Bernie's been fighting for us for 50 years. SusanaMontana41 Jul 2015 #78

That is my point, he is not a radical..he worked within the system and it does not work. Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #79

Bernie needs a labor PAC. Nothing wrong with playing their game as long as you dont play with randys1 Jul 2015 #26

Maybe he will change his mind, I don't know. Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #29

I would think Buffett would align with Bernie in some ways randys1 Jul 2015 #31

Everything we know about Buffett's politics points in one direction. n/t SusanaMontana41 Jul 2015 #35

Yes and the return on their investment they're expecting will be even more indecent. n/t Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #48

It is despicable BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #50

They want him to join in because the fact that he is not part of this obscenity, highlights sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #51

They are building up one of the most sophisticated campaign BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #55

Yes, for them to try to claim to oppose CU was definitely a bad strategy. But then so far, ALL the sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #60

It could be that they are so insular and only hiring insiders BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #62

I'd like to know how that would work. Those making the investment expect a return Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #52

I am very cynical about his chances BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #54

I'm not sure it's cynical to be wary of his chances..it will be tough, at best. Impossible? No. Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #58

I feel the same way BrotherIvan Jul 2015 #59

I should have been more clear, this is what I was referring to: Jefferson23 Jul 2015 #63
