There are a lot of strong arguments for Mr Sanders' candidacy in this analysis. Most of the reasons I think he's the right choice are listed plus a few new gems- cleanest record of any presidential candidate in the last century, vs a very possible indictment, anyone?

The groundswell of popular support for Bernie is undeniable, even the most biased 'news' outlets can't hide it.

I think that if the democratic party fucks up somehow and DOESN'T nominate him, it will be a career ending mistake for a lot of 'liberal' apparatchiks... while they watch the Chump cruise to victory.

Wasserman is preparing to be out on her ass, progressives in Florida are positioning to oust her from congress next cycle because of the way she handled the process. Keep an eye out for Tim Canova in that district, the results of that election should be a good indicator of where the party goes in the future.

Elizabeth Warren is looking at being Clintons VP

She'd make a fantastic running mate for Mr Sanders because they're both on the same progressive page. They'd make a killer team for going after Wall St and corporate corruption!

And, they'd be an unstoppable combination through the election and beyond. If y'all think they'd be stymied by an uncooperative Congress, just you wait and see what those two could do with the bully pulpit of the Presidency itself!

They'd have millions screaming in the streets for the heads of corrupt American corporations. And you know THAT'S what has corporate America REALLY terrified!

Elizabeth Warren is declining to say whether she would consider running on the Democratic ticket with Hillary Clinton, insisting instead that she's focused on her current job and that Democrats still have to "get all of our nominations settled."

I doubt she'd take the job even if it was offered. If she did, it might bring in some progressive voters, but I think it would probably hurt Warren's reputation more than it would help Clinton's administration.

From the Washington Post article you linked;

"Technically, there is no super PAC sanctioned by Sanders in the same way that other candidates have."

"In the age of dark money and unlimited fundraising opportunities via super PACs, it’s fair for Sanders to make the distinction that he, unlike Clinton and most of the Republican candidates, is not affiliated with the super PAC. Sanders does not have a sanctioned super PAC that acts as an extension of his campaign and is affiliated with wealthy donor networks or corporate industries, in the way that other presidential candidates do."

So there you have it, the Sanders campaign does not have a SuperPAC (my previous post already debunked this claim, we could have saved some time had you just looked at that instead)

a super PAC financed by the nurses union. The National Nurses United for Patient Protection has spent nearly $1.2 million as of February 2016 in support of Sanders, including on mailers and a bus tour through several key early primary states.

The group filed with the Federal Election Commission as a super PAC in September 2010..

He also took money from Hillary PAC, back when he was running for senate in 2006. Had no problem taking her money then

The Sanders campaign has no affiliation with any SuperPACs, the nurses union is a separate entity entirely, they don't make decisions or coordinate with the Sanders campaign

Not to mention a group of nurses giving individual contributions of under $200 is a far cry from financial institutions and corporations investing millions into SuperPACS that fund Clinton and the republicans campaigns. You're grasping.

Besides, doesn't he say out of the other side of his mouth that SuperPACs are just fine and aren't a corrupting influence?

What shocks me is how anyone could take such a hypocrite seriously.

Not gasping at all. You Bernie people like believing Bernie is some kind of god. No Super Pac can coordinate with a campaign. Hillary does not do it either, but Bernie and Hillary have Super PACS that go out and campaign for them. SO Bernie needs to stop with the bullshit.
Again why did Bernie accept money from Hillary PAC if she so dirty and wrong, by the way she gets her campaign funds

Not true. You can vote for anyone you like, there are votes for Mickey Mouse every election.

I'll be voting for Mr Sanders because I think only he will do what needs to be done.

He's trying to paint Sanders as a hypocrite, even though his own source said the opposite of what he said it says..

Nice strawman

Yes, you are completely grasping. Explain to me how a union made up of nurses giving individual contributions of less than $200 that does not coordinate with the Sanders campaign means Sanders has a SuperPAC?

I'm not sure why we should be concerned about a group of nurses donating to Sanders' campaign anyway, doesn't that just mean that the people working in the healthcare industry support his positions about healthcare? That would coincide with the support he's already received from doctors; 2,000 doctors say Bernie Sanders has the right approach to health care

Nurses are not spending hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars donating to political campaigns in hopes of receiving a return on their investment like financial institutions and corporations are. They're doing it because they actually support his positions, they call that democracy where I come from

He is a hypocrite. You can't complain about PAC money and how money is ruining elections, When you accepting the same money.
But no worries, the people are rejecting his tired message. It will all be over soon and we can all vote Democrat Nov 8th

Well- not exactly. Democracy has to do with VOTING, not campaign contributions.
