Why did Sanders run as a democrat?
And when do non party members get to choose who the nominee of a party is?

Sanders might of been better off running as a republican. Then when he lost to Trump. I would insist you write him in inn November

Paddy, as much as I'd like to see Sanders running against Trump, your point is hypothetical. The people who are registered as members of the Democratic party are about to name Hillary Clinton as their candidate for President.

The polls you cite are only good for the moment. In past elections, these polls have been very inaccurate. Mostly because there is a lot that will happen between now and the November election. Kerry was leading GWB by a wide margin at this time in the election of 2004, for instance.

Nobody knew who Sanders was. We have heard about Clinton for 25 years now. And she still is ahead by 3 million votes

You do if you want to prove the point you're trying to make that Clinton is more electable and the stronger candidate against Trump in the general election

She's not and you know it, and now you're risking the next administration - supreme court seats and all - on the weaker democratic candidate - and telling Sanders supporters that we're the ones risking a Trump administration by not voting for Clinton. No, you're risking a Trump administration by not voting for Sanders.

Yep, Bernie's campaign started a little more than a year ago. Hillary has been campaigning for POTUS for about a hundred years. So, yeah, Hillary had the name advantage and Bernie made a competitive race out of it. Second place doesn't mean he lost though. He won't run for prez but he's gained tons of influence that he can use how he wants.

Agree with you that Bernie looks better today if an open election were held to select the Democratic party presidential candidate. The Democratic Party held closed primaries. The registered party members of the Democratic party voted mostly for Hillary. Is this not true?

Polls are not what wins elections. Actual votes are.
You are not this stupid. Let it go and move forward

I would like you to explain to me why you think Clinton is a move forward and not a step back?
I also think ttystikk, schuylaar and padawaubater would be interested also.

I think Bernie is making the smart moves right now. Keeping the pressure on and making Hillary understand that "not Trump" is a poor strategy choice for this election. But you are right in that some of Bernie's supporters within the Democratic Party would rather vote for a dead rat than Hillary. I don't think its a seriously large number, as long as the Hillary campaign moves to the left along the lines of B's policies.

There are a lot of independent voters who aren't happy with either T or H. Not sure what happens there. You guys are barking at Sky for not towing the line but she's not going to budge.
