THAT is why Bernie had to finally say he was a Democrat in New Hampshire yesterday.....he was a Socialist not a Democrat....

I gave you a link where he specifically said so on his official Senate website 6 yrs ago....during Obama's presidency for reference...

Bernie has had 40 yrs to say I am a Socialist Democrat.....if he didn't have an issue with the existence of Capitalism.....but instead he chose to never ever call himself a Socialist Democrat.....his perogative....and I do believe he is a very smart man and knows these terms and distinctions quite well....Yesterday....he was finally forced to become one of us....it was that or the campaign was over
