Hillary Clinton is running against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the Democratic nomination for president, but she’s not positive he belongs in the race.

“He’s a relatively new Democrat,” the former Secretary of State told Politico. “In fact, I’m not even sure he is one. He’s running as one. So I don’t know quite how to characterize him.”

Sanders, who has said he identifies as a socialist democrat, declared himself a Democrat last year when he announced his presidential campaign. Although he’s the longest-serving independent in congressional history, he caucuses with the Democrats and has served on and chaired committees for the party. He also has made key progressive issues like economic inequality central to his campaign.

Many Democrats have endorsed the Vermont senator — but Clinton is not the first prominent one to question his loyalty to the party. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) tweeted in February that Sanders “is a Democrat ‘some days.’”


At the time, Sanders responded to the criticism by saying, “of course I am a Democrat.”



Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, the Independent senator and self-described democratic socialist, says that now in his heart he considers himself a Democrat.

"Of course I am a Democrat and running for the Democratic nomination," Sanders told a New Hampshire town hall on Wednesday night.


CNN host Anderson Cooper, the moderator of the town hall, had asked Sanders about a tweet from Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who attacked Sanders as an occasional Democrat.

Responding to Sanders's comment that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton was a progressive on "some days," Boxer, a Clinton ally, tweeted, "Hillary is a progressive EVERY day. Bernie is a Democrat 'some days.'"

After quoting Boxer, Cooper asked Sanders, "In your heart, are you a Democrat?"

"Sure," Sanders replied, citing his long tenure in the House and Senate Democratic caucuses, albeit as an Independent.

He went on to say that Clinton cannot claim to be both a moderate and a progressive.

"You can't go and say you're a moderate on one day and be a progressive on the other day.

"Some of my best friends are moderates. I love moderates. But you can't be a moderate and a progressive. They are different."

Sanders tried to play down expectations that he would secure a strong victory in New Hampshire, given he is currently ahead by almost 20 percentage points in the latest RealClearPolitics average.

"Of course we’re an underdog," Sanders said. "We are taking on the most powerful political organization in the country and that’s the Clinton organization."
 
Article is from February 9th. It's old as hell.

He isn't a Democrat, just running as one because Independents wouldn't have a chance in our two party system.


"Sure," Sanders replied, citing his long tenure in the House and Senate Democratic caucuses, albeit as an Independent.


“I don’t know quite how to characterize him.”

“I am not now, nor have I ever been, a liberal Democrat,”

The problem is people think Bernie is a Democrat and he isn't. I'm sure most people contributing to his campaign don't know he will not help the Democrat people fundraise to take back Senate and the House. Meanwhile Hillary is doing it.

So Bernie becomes President but didn't help the party and the Republicans control all of congress. 4 years of nothing getting done...pointless.

Please stop with this non-issue... Those candidates don't need him doing fundraisers for them they have the DNC. You have posted this same shit in multiple threads.

Fact is Sanders barely holds fundraisers for himself.

And who is to say he won't campaign for other democratic candidates ? He has done so in the past.

Are you fucking serious??

Every election is about money now thanks to the SC.

Obama & Clinton are fundraising to help take back congress and you say it's a non issue. Again your a fucking republican.

Never voted for a republican in national election huh....Means you have voted republican.

So tell us what republicans you have voted for in local elections?

I said it's a non issue that he isn't...That he doesn't use super pacs and isn't supported by the DNC..

It's non issue because they don't need his money they have Wall Street, Big Pharma , Fossil Fuels ...

I realize that you are new to politics so if you don't know that there is a difference between local and national politics ..

I bet you also don't know that historically black folks have been fiscally conservative but socially progressive

you say all elections are about money but those multimillion dollar donations aren't gifts they are down payments..

Seems that you would appreciate that Sanders isn't taking money from those leeches because he doesn't owe them..

Wall Street paid for the weak financial reforms, they paid for no criminal charges...

Stay at it though you learn...
 
She is feeling the Bern. New York and California primaries are going to be huge for both parties. It is 50/50 for Bernie in either state. On the GOP side I see Trump winning New York and California is 50/50.
