So even if he does change his mind and run Indie, unless he's sitting ahead of Hillary in the polls as things wrap up, I don't see him staying in the race for the general. Of course, if he gets more votes than she does, that would make her the spoiler.

The election is in 2016. What happened in 2000 can't happen now. I mean, it's not like a million people weren't just removed from the voting registrations in multiple States with a phony system of matching names. Or like women and minorities are being disenfranchised after the dismantling of the VRA. And come on, SCOTUS wouldn't do anything like stop counting votes, votes that already show a clear winner but ignore the ones that don't fit their agenda.



He won't run as anything but a Democrat

If Hillary is not going to make a massive turn to the left and represent the liberal wing of the Democratic Party then I say Run Bernie Run. And if runs as a 3rd party candidate because Hillary refuses to represent the liberal wing of the Democratic Party then I will vote for him as will millions of other liberals.
