Right about now I'm wishing that Bernie had run on his own Party's ticket. Since he drew more people to his campaign than all others, photo's of campaign stops don't lie and the "Independent" is now the largest voting block in the nation. This would've given him the polling numbers that would've qualified him to participate in the debates. Somehow I think many of those who made up their minds four years ago (DNC, and supporting Clinton loyalist) must be glad that he didn't run independent of their pre-determined candidate.

"Populist" is also a two-way street. One side does not equal the other. But loyalist want you to think otherwise. And that's not a good or fair presumption.
