I'd vote for smiles the cat if ran as a democrat vs whatever else runs -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 2, 18:40
If he were the nominee, I would totally vote for him -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 16:59
I wish he was the nominee. Big fan of him and his policies. Bernie 2016! -- nm - Krusty - Most Right Poster Feb 2, 16:51
I'd do it happily - especially with the GOP field as is. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 16:49

I don't think I would unless Trump was his opponent -- nm - eag Feb 2, 16:45
I cannot vote for him -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 16:42
I'm not really thrilled with any of them, but I align pretty firmly with Sanders. So...I'd be ok with it. My worry is that he's the Trump of the left. - JaxSean Feb 2, 16:28
Mild qualms due to the fact that I think his plans are completely unrealistic and will lead to more years of absolute clusterfuck. I also think they - pmb Feb 2, 16:14 9
- this is it, really. imagine the gridlock the tea party would cause if there was an actual lefty in power. -- nm - mafic Feb 2, 16:48 1
  - You can't live in fear of potential opposition. If anything, Bernie's presence would help shatter that gridlock. - David Feb 2, 17:00
- You mean if Bloomberg was the GOP nominee? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 16:15 6
  - He's talking about the Ralph Nader scenario. - David Feb 2, 16:16 5
    - If it's Cruz vs Sanders, there is no better chance for a 3rd party candidate. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 16:18 4
      - I think Bloomberg in that scenario would have the best shot of any 3rd party candidate we've ever seen. I think there a large center in this country - pmb Feb 2, 16:19 1
        
        Which would mean we as a people leaned nothing from 2000 - David's Pad Feb 2, 16:28
      - that three-way wouldn't necessarily doom america, so I guess that's something. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 16:19 1
        
        *shudder* -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 16:25
Serious qualms. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 16:13
Mild qualms, perhaps, due to his age. The potential for frustration with his VP pick is pretty high. -- nm - mara Feb 2, 16:12 2
- Actually, that's a good point. The age thing would concern me a bit. - David Feb 2, 16:15 1
  - "Hillary, you can be my VP. I promise to die before the mid-terms. It's win-win!" -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 16:16

- you're cute -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 2, 16:22
No. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 2, 16:08
Not in the slightest. -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 16:04 1
- (especially considering who any of the likely alternatives are) -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 16:08
With a song in my heart, I'd vote for him. -- nm - David Feb 2, 16:01
No. But I expect he'd only get a single term -- nm - TWuG Feb 2, 16:00
only in the sense that i know it would be suicidal -- nm - mr. plow Feb 2, 16:00 6
- This question assumes he already won the nomination. -- nm - psilotum Feb 2, 16:10 2
  - Understood. It would be a McGovern-esque mistake -- nm - mr plow Feb 2, 16:16
  - he means voting for Sanders would literally kill him, but he'd still do it anyway. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 2, 16:11
- meaning that you don't think he could win the general? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 2, 16:00 2
  - Meaning President Trump would collect the voter rolls and execute everyone who voted for Sanders. -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 16:15
  - the corporate media would annihilate him -- nm - mr. plow Feb 2, 16:03
