So then he is now a viable write-in candidate?

He was always a viable write in, just like anyone else you want to write in, like say, DBCowboy for instance.

DB for President! If America is gonna get whipped, let a pro do it.

Oh man, this is awkward.

I'm actually Hillary Clinton.

Great video! Some seems taken out of context but shows how she flip flops.

He returns to his senate seat, where he was elected as an Independent. So, I think the seat itself remains Independent. There is nothing in the article to show any official paperwork he has filled out to 'change'.

The seat remains independent? You didn't just seriously type that, did you? Really?

The voters in his state elected someone with no party affiliation. I would imagine he would still vote in an Independent way.

Mainly, I was talking about the OP. One can change their affiliation at any time, true. I see no evidence that he changed anything from the article.

I used to own a Russia Lada that was a hit and/or miss as far as starting goes . I called it Bernie :>) ...sad what happened to it in the end but it was fun while it lasted .

After this gets flushed through the news cycle,the next few polls will be interesting to see if this has any effect on the race.

I wonder if he would have dropped the "D" if he got elected.

Let's see, he got all the new young voters together, led them like the pied piper to the convention, then told them to go vote for Hillary.

Just another demographic manipulated and used like all the poor inner city minorities who never have had one Democrat promise of prosperity fulfilled for them, just racial tensions around voting time, hello BLM, when they can be counted on to lift their heads out of poverty and despair just long enough to cast a ballot in hopes of continued foodstamps to keep from starving.

Welcome to the vote farms of America. You've been farmed millennials, they openly brag they expect to retain 90% of you for Hillary.

Wow your Left party has collapsed in flames too!

Same reason too, party corruption and attempted vote rigging.

UK started the trend though!

He's the democratic Ron Paul......slowly fade into history.

I couldn't agree with this statement more.

The only differences are:

1. BS captured more delegates RP
2. BS got screwed even worse and even more visibly by his own party
3. BS had highly publicized PROOF of his unfair treatment in the DNC emails, and
4. Then BS went ahead and kissed the feet of the establishment he had been calling out and challenging all along.

I wanted RP to make 3rd party/independent run in 2012, which he didn't, but at least he just walked away in silence and did sellout his supporters by giving a fake show of support for Romney or telling them to get on the RNC bandwagon after they shafted him.

I also believe that the way the RNC treated Ron Paul in 2012 is precisely what created the crack in the Republican Establishment that Trump was able to exploit this time around, and may have contributed to Romney's loss. It will be interesting to see how the democrats handle their situation. So far, they seem to think they can pretend everything is ok and it will be.

After his concession to the DNC, I will now only refer to Mr. Sanders by his initials.

But would you want to vote for him. I wouldn't and couldn't understand anyone voting for him simply because he spent his entire campaign calling Hillary all the names he can legally say and then suddenly turns around and says that she's perfect for the job and just after doing so he leaves the Democratic party and will more than likely want to be an independent candidate nah if he can switch about his principle that easily that should show the type of man he is.

I'm not an American so I don't have to vote and truly feel sorry for the Americans with this run of election for POTUS you guys are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Good luck.
