So, when will Bernie Sanders start to overtake Hillary Clinton ...

[Tender Branson]

The Clinton campaign now thinks Sanders will overtake her in IA and NH polling "this fall":

I'd say August for NH and September for IA.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

August for NH and October for IA.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie takes the lead in somewhere like Maine (and Vermont, of course) before he leads in IA.

[NeverAgain]

August for NH and October for IA.

August for NH and October for IA.

So what would happen exactly? This clown would actually become the nominee?

Better than 80% of the Republican clowns.

That you from AH.com, Zioneer?

Anyways, we might have to all learn the Internationale and reject freedom if Sanders wins. I hate to say it, but Clinton might be America's last hope for freedom.

Some beautiful expectations setting from the Clinton camp.

He already has! The POLLS ARE A LIE! D: D: D:

Seek help. We've all lost too many friends to Hillary Derangement Syndrome; we don't want to lose you too. Please, for your own good.

You planning to switch from being a lawyer to a therapist? I scrolled your now infrequent posts on "Old Atlas" and found quite a high percentage had a therapeutic content.

It is indeed. I tend to use similar usernames on many forums. I'm a bit more aggressive on this forum since the moderation is less strict. From your username and avatar... Superman?

And I don't think Sanders will actually be that bad for conservatives, especially as he's not likely to have a Democratic Senate or House. Perhaps he may be more aggressive on executive orders, but since he's been in Congress for a while, he may respect the role of Congress more.

Yep, I'm Superman. That username was already taken here, unfortunately.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is ahead in a few polls in September/October, but like Gingrich, Perry, and Bachmann's leads in 2012 it will just be a flavor of the month thing.

Bernie is an unelectable Socialist (self-described) in the general election. Bernie has been an independent politician for the last 40 years and I can't grasp how he can be eligible for the Democratic Nomination since (as best I can tell) he has never been a member of the party.

[Lincoln Republican]

My question is, when is the ruthless and not care about anyone regardless of anything Clinton attack machine going to start a hate campaign against Sanders?

Vermont has no party registration, so there was never a possible way for Sanders to really become a member of the democratic party. He caucuses with the Democrats in the senate. He typically votes with democratic leadership on important bills.

After he wins IA and NH.


I won't be surprised if Sanders (or some PAC who likes him) goes negative once the hate campaign by Clinton starts though. Yeah, it's not Sanders traditional style, but he hasn't had a tough race, and therefore hasn't needed to campaign, since the 1994 republican wave - a time when negative campaigning was less common than today.

What? I'm sorry, I'm confused.

EDIT: Oh, I understand now. You were answering the question. I feel like an idiot now.

Leahy calls himself a Democrat and is a Democrat for all intents and purposes.

I haven't heard anything about Howard Dean, another Vermont Democrat, having issues back in 2004.

But, to go back to what you're saying, Bernie can effectively call himself anything he wants because there's no party registration. If it wasn't an issue 11 years ago for Dean, it shouldn't be now.

The whole argument about party registration is a joke. Bill Clinton wasn't a registered Democrat either.

[Famous Mortimer]

Let's not be ridiculous and claim Sanders is in exactly the same situation as Howard Dean. Howard Dean identified as a Democrat when he was in office. Sanders went out of his way to say he didn't. That is a difference.

It's not really a difference that bothers me though. I care more about a person's views than what free form, big tent, non-organized party they claim or don't claim meaningless affiliation with.

Yeah I don't see Sanders lack of registration with the party a major issue. He won't be the nominee for other reasons.
