    I think that’s a really bad take.

    You think Pete is just an opportunist?

    yes, thos. every winning race that man has won was as an independent. his first membership in a democratic socialist party  to this day has not won a national seat and only a few state seats.

    he appoarently started as acn independent then was regidtered member of DS partu for 7 years then flipped back to I.

    Registered D for the sole purpose of running for President. Hijacking party apparatus  to avoid having to do the hard work of getting on ballot in every state.

    THAT is opportunist....

    It's by someone that thinks if you aren't for universal health care that you are a corporate tool.  Really smart reporting.  It's tools like this that give us the Bernie Bros and in turn gave us Trump.

    Not that dissimilar to Trump actually. I think he switched back to Republican in 2012 because he was mulling possibly running.

    I knew he donated to both parties candidates. He bragged about it, buying influence. Was unaware he was ever GOP until he registered to run....

    Oh yeah. A few times actually. According to Wikipedia, which isn't always accurate, but I would trust it here for the President's party affiliations, they list Trump's party affiliations as:

    Democrat: Birth-1987
    Republican: 1987-1999
    Reform (when he was considering a third-party run in 2000): 1999-2001
    Democrat: 2001-2009
    Republican: 2009-2011
    No Party: 2011-2012
    Republican: 2012-present

    This is the point I was making the other day,  that the caucus is not how we vote and it favors a class if people,  since you have to have several hours on a Monday night to kill.  But the twit's conclusion is stupid,  that a caucus in Iowa makes the United States a failed state.
