It would hand the election to the Democrats, exactly how Bill Clinton won.lots of Conservatives candidates that have left the Republican Party could run. of course, The main purpose would be to defeat Trump.

He should, by all means. I'm sure he'll do very well on both coasts. He'll go down every place else. America is fundamentally a conservative country.It won't be a right wing third candidate. The Democrats are already a right wing party.
It will be an actual progressive run if anything. And I'm betting Bernie is going to take a shot.

Agreed. It's Bernie that makes it more likely. He could carry NY against another liberal. I don't much care for his politics, but damn it's fun to watch the Dems tie themselves up in knots trying to disagree and agree with him at the same time.I think it’s more likely a left wing independent movement runs a POTUS canidate (Sanders) to show disgust over the WallStreet Democrats. The Dems have just changed the rules so Bernie can’t seek their nomination, setting this up nicely.
This would lock Trump in for another 4 years.
Bernie will turn it down, just as he refused to run against HRC when she was nominated.Agreed. It's Bernie that makes it more likely. He could carry NY against another liberal.

If I could hold my nose for another four years I might send him a check just to watch the show.

The truth. 16 democratic senators voted to dismantle dodd frank. Most Democrats voted to raise the the military budget by 80 billion.The Democrats are a right wing party wtf are you inhaling?
Bernie has the grassroots machine in place in all fifty states. He didnt turn over his donor list to the DNC. He is the driving force behind all the primary challenges.So after we all get over singing along to a recording of Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World. It is amazingly hard to run a third party nationwide political campaign. As a fundamental part of federalism elections are run by the states so you would have to manage to get onto the ballot in all 50 states, look at the last Presidential election none of the third parties was on the ballot in all fifty states.
Unless polling showed that for some reason this new party was running away with the election people would be unwilling to vote for it for fear of splitting the vote. e.g. exactly what happened in the election of 1912
Since the hack showed how they screwed him i think Bernie is not feeling any loyalty to the DNC.Bernie will turn it down, just as he refused to run against HRC when she was nominated.
If you want to see someone agree / disagree / duck questions / run and hide / pretend not to be doing any of the foregoing, you missed the Marco Rubio interview on CNN last night. I've never seen a guy try and say so many nothings in so short a space of time.
I think all those Reagan Democrats in the mid west and rust belt will go for Bernie.I think it’s more likely a left wing independent movement runs a POTUS canidate (Sanders) to show disgust over the WallStreet Democrats.

The Reagan Democrats are centrist by the name's very definition. There's no way they'll vote for a socialist.I think all those Reagan Democrats in the mid west and rust belt will go for Bernie.
I think the DNC will fuck up the primary again.
