Anyone who has spent any amount of time here has seen the acronym DINO...

...thrown around pretty "liberally" (sorry, I couldn't resist). To be so called is anything but a badge of honor. And yet, we are supposed to believe that the only hope for our party is a man who has spent his entire political life refusing to be a member of our party...actually holding himself above our party. If being a DINO among Democrats is bad, how can St. Bernard not be worse?

And, as noted above, he is the epitome of a Trojan Horse. He was only too happy to use us while it suited him, but it soon became apparent that our party was nothing more than a means to an end for him. His despicable conduct under our aegis is an insult to all Democrats. Burn this down, bros.

"The Democratic and Republican parties are tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, they both adhere to an ideology of greed and vulgarity."
Bernie Sanders

“Why should we work within the Democratic Party if we don’t agree with anything the Democratic Party says?”
Bernie Sanders

“I am extremely proud to be an independent. The fact that I am not a Democrat gives me the freedom to speak out on the floor of the House, to vote against both the Democratic and Republican proposals.”
Bernie Sanders


Sanders says he ran as a Democrat for 'media coverage'

Definitely a Dino, and not in a good way.

And in the war of ideas he lost. The most qualified and experienced person, the person most fit for the position, will win.

And she has a much better chance of beating that horrible Trump idiot than Bernie ever could have.

He has every intention of doing damage to the Democratic party. He has always been anti-party and this is his opportunity to destroy one.

it would be my guess that they will do it after they make sure they have pulled his political teeth first. Once he has lost and Hillary is in the White House, he will not be such a "shiny object". He has no power base. It's just him, 3 or 4 Congressmen and a few B rated, over the hill movie stars.
The Child Army have a short attention span so they won't stick around.
