That's why Trump came out and said that he should run as an independent. But Sanders already said he's not going to do that.PJ_Soul said:Unfortunately, if Bernie runs as an independent now, Trump might actually win and be the POTUS because of the split vote for the Dems. Disturbing thought and very, very possible. I actually would consider it most likely if Bernie decides to do that.

Of course Trump is pushing for that! Yeah, Bernie said that, but it wouldn't have been good for his attempt to win the Dem nom if he'd said he'd run as an independent before, because then everyone would just say "why aren't running as an independent now then??". I think it's possible he could change his tune if he loses or bows out when the math doesn't add up. But yeah, he might stick to his word. He knows as well as Trump does what it would mean to the election... I guess I should have faith that he wouldn't put the country in that position.Free said:

Holy fuck I wish these stupid primaries would end. I still can't fucking believe how loooooooooong this process is. I think it is incredibly damaging to America.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
^^Many states have a 'sore loser' law anyway, that would prohibit him from running as an indy. Of course anyone can write in I would think.

It really is ridiculous how the Americans run an election.
FFS pick ONE AND ONLY ONE day to vote.

I heard Rush agreed with this perspective as well. Ollie North also weighed in and agreed. We're just waiting to hear from G. Gordon Liddie and then the felony convictions will be locked in.Free said:Judge Nap: FBI Has 'Overwhelming' Evidence to Indict and Convict Hillary

"Hillary Clinton has accumulated approximately 12 million votes thus far.
She will more than likely have around 20 million voters by the time the primaries have concluded.
Compare this with the 60 million voters Barack Obama had in the 2008 general election and you see that Hillary is not even close to acquiring the votes needed to win the presidency."0 -
Obama only had 17MM in the 2008 primaries... so how about a little more integrative thinking by the author. Second, by that measure, Bernie would get smoked even worse since he's 3MM behind. Oh and third.. Trump has 10MM, so surpassing Bernie.Free said:"Hillary Clinton has accumulated approximately 12 million votes thus far.

When you post no source, (and I bet you didn't read the whole article), you must get this information out of your head.0 -
Sanders would win if all states had open primaries. I post this yesterday.0

It's easy enough to find vote totals from lots of different sources. I don't need to quote the NYTimes or MSNBC from 2008.
And yes, I read it. It's a super supporter who is also in the grief phase, grasping at straws. His assumption is every 'independent' will go for Sanders if he is in it, or Trump. Well that's just total BS. My wife is an independent just because she isn't registered for a party. But she sure as hell isn't voting for Trump. She always votes D. There are MILLIONS of people who really don't pay attention until the general. They don't vote primaries, which is a fraction of the general election turnout. This was his last stupid assumption... that the fact that Hillary only will receive 20MM votes is somehow indicative of general election turnout.0
