Bernie Sanders Independent Run: If He Doesn

The GOP might push Donald out if they think that Bernie will run as an independent.

There is a very good possibility that Trump the Chump will go 3rd party since the RNC is doing everything to keep him from being the nominee.

Sanders will just get some concessions and will be happy.

Trump the Chump splits the party. Hillary wins. The USA wins.

Sanders is 74. I don't think he would be happy with a few concessions. I think he will do everything he can to get elected without making deals with any deep pockets.

I'm not so sure Trump even wanted the win very much when he started. He doesn't have as much to loose.

Hillary has been working and dreaming about this for years.

Ted figures with Koch funding he could unite the GOP and win.

This would make a good movie.

Are you really that stupid? Do you really think that Hillary as president will make the USA win? How is that? She said she plans to continue Obama's agenda. If so, she will be killing herself. There is no way that the Republicans or the American people will allow her to continue to ruin this country. Not only will she be stopped, but she will be impeached as soon as she opens her mouth. They didn't bother Obama because they knew that there would be race riots in the streets. Nobody is going to do anything in Hillary's defense. She would be lucky to be impeached before something worst happens. She is not protected by color, and nobody gives a *** about her gender. That part is questionable anyway. But, we probably won't have to worry about any of that. I am sure that once Obama is sure he is covered, she will be indicted. And NO real American will vote for the commie Sanders.

So, who cares if Sanders splits off. That will kill Hillary's chances. Trump may be a nut, but he is not stupid enough to run a third party bid. He knows that he would become a pariah.

"Now, as Trump sees this effort by Washington insiders take real shape to stop him, and he continues to hear rumblings that even if he has the most votes, he might not be the nominee, Trump is using what he's got in hopes they back off again.

So, it's not really about Trump supporting anyone, it's about him not running third party in the fall, and hobbling the party's chances at the White House. Some party loyalists, though, are willing to take that chance, because they believe Trump as the standard-bearer of their party would be even worse. (By the way, a Trump third-party bid may prove more complicated than Trump thinks because of complex, state-by-state ballot access rules, but if you're someone who doesn't know or care about the rules, who knows? He could run a write-in campaign — and everyone knows how to spell "Trump.")

Does this make Trump seem indecisive, or is he making the most convenient decision at the time, like all politicians?

It's certainly a risk for Trump to look like he's inconsistent. But one man's inconsistent, indecisive or even calculating is another man's unpredictable, powerful and smart.

In other words, for people who didn't like him, they'll continue to think the worst.

And for his supporters, they'll think more power to him, because they're there for him — not for the Republican Party."

"Bowing out of the race and allowing Hillary to forge her path to the White House as the possible first female President would be a no-brainer should she win the nomination and face only one Republican challenger in November.

However, there is a very real possibility Donald Trump could run as a third-party candidate should the GOP decide to broker their convention and go with a more established candidate."

This four way race is not as far fetched as it may first appear.

Sanders should consider 3rd party run

It's still possible there could be a 3rd party run.

After the Brooklyn born Sanders beats Clinton in NY there will not be any need for him to go 3rd party.

Don't rule out a contested democratic convention.

Still waiting to see if Clinton can make it past June. She could not in 2008!

But don't you think if he puts it out there that one way or another he's going to run then he might get more support inside of the party.
