Bernie IS a Democrat for all intents & purposes...why he's ahead of 20 other Democrats in the polls InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #127
Because there are about 23 Democrats Lithos May 2019 #129

Part time independent (when running for senate) and part time democrat (when he is running for pres) GemDigger May 2019 #37
Actually, full time independent on the job. Democrat only when on the campaign trail. (nt) ehrnst May 2019 #42
Bad wording on my part, I stand corrected. GemDigger May 2019 #45
Why do you think that the Democrats felt a need to have Democratic candidates ehrnst May 2019 #60
