Believe it or not, she has incredible crossover appeal with her message SSJVegeta Mar 22 #15

She also needs to expand her profile and increase her creds. yellow dahlia Mar 22 #34

" She also needs to expand her profile and increase her creds." What in the world does that mean? NoRethugFriends Mar 23 #55

Expand her profile: become well versed in a variety of topics. yellow dahlia Mar 23 #75

The crowds Bernie is drawing are larger than the crowds he drew when he actually ran for President AZProgressive Mar 22 #23

I have no way to confirm if that's true. Unless he's running again, I do not see the relevance of that comparison. Oopsie Daisy Mar 22 #24

There was one point where Bernie Sanders was favored to win all 50 states AZProgressive Mar 22 #29

A very reasonable reply, indeed. Oopsie Daisy Mar 22 #44
