1. What makes you say that?

Just wondering.

Sam

[Agschmid]

2. His current speech.

[musicblind]

8. I didn't get that from the speech and none of the CNN commentators mentioned getting that either n/t

[Agschmid]

12. I've got a feeling that he might, but I'm no pundit.

I who knows.

[Barack_America]

17. So you admit this is a B.S. OP?

Serving no other purpose than to stir shit?

[Zen Democrat]

30. Trump said it.

[dubyadiprecession]

3. Third party is a horrible idea for BS.

[dlwickham]

4. the Greens don't have ballot access in every state and some states have poor loser laws

that prohibit candidates that lost in the primary from running as independents

he can certainly try but it sounds more like he wants to make some more money off his groupies

[Agschmid]

14. He could run a really strong write in campaign to be honest.

[Depaysement]

20. -1,000

Groupies? Welcome to ignore.

[Brother Buzz]

32. Like Sanders has a chance to win South Dakota and Texas?

[NowSam]

5. What did he say?

Come on - out with it. What did he say?

[PeaceNikki]

6. If he does, he's a an idiot and an asshole.

[drm604]

7. I'd be shocked if he did that.

I don't believe it.

[Trust Buster]

9. Sanders just declared war O.K. war it will be.

[beachbum bob]

10. Wishful thinking

Not a chance he wants to give the Whitehouse to trump...he does have that much morals to care more for America than his ego....Nader did not

[Joe the Revelator]

11. I'd be ok with it.

At least I'd have a candidate representing my beliefs in the GE. The two party system is the trouble with America.

[KingFlorez]

13. I really think it is too late for that

He couldn't get ballot access at this point.

[Depaysement]

15. Not happening

Guaranteed. He's not going there.

He may take this thing to the Convention and build a movement, though.

[Stuckinthebush]

16. That would be stupid

He's not an idiot

That won't happen

[silvershadow]

18. Why would he do that when he holds at least 50% of his own party? nt

[floppyboo]

19. I heard the speech too. Certainly sounds like he's talking GE.

It was on the Real News Network live feed. http://therealnews.com/t2/
Some great balanced intelligent commentary as well. Great alternative to CNN!

[floppyboo]

21. But talking GE is what a candidate should be doing, no?

So, ... great set-up though!

[Agschmid]

37. Yes a candidate should be doing that, but it sounds different when you are behind.

[Godhumor]

22. You know, after some thought I think this should be a self delete

Until or unless he declares third party candidacy, I don't think this is constructive. Bernie had said he is a Democrat and we should take him at his word.

[Agschmid]

38. Okay, not intentionally trying to be divisive but I will.

[BillZBubb]

23. While that would give me someone to really support in the GE, he won't do it.

It would be interesting if Jill Stein stepped down on the Green Party ticket and agreed to run as Bernie's VP candidate. But, dream as I might, it won't happen.

[TMontoya]

29. What

Jill Stein is a joke. The entire Green party are elitist limousine liberals.

[sufrommich]

24. Not going to happen.nt

[Gothmog]

25. It is far too late to do third party run

In addition sore loser laws will keep Sanders off the ballot in a large number of states

[Unicorn]

26. He said he isn't. And Jane Sanders said they understand the importance of stopping the Republicans

if nothing else because of who they would put on the Supreme court. She said that tonight in an interview on CNN.

[riversedge]

27. Did he ask Jane. She just said a bit ago Bernie would NOT do a 3rd Party.

[Onlooker]

28. Sounds like sour grapes from a Sanders supporter. Bernie is not going to help elect Trump n/t

[deathrind]

31. Good.

[Chemisse]

33. I would lose a lot of respect for him if he did that.

It would tear the party apart and endure a Trump presidency. Which is probably why it was Trump floating this idea and (hopefully) not Bernie.

[Gman]

34. He will not.

He's not that stupid, nor does he have an ego. He has people around him no doubt who will push him to do it. But he also isn't stupid.

[NCTraveler]

35. He is a democrat. He will support the nominee. Nt

[Codeine]

36. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to

which I'm sure he doesn't. It's too late for proper ballot access in most states.
