What are the chances that Bernie would endorse Jill Stein instead of Hillary in the general? (nt)

[Nye Bevan]

[Thinkingabout]

1. Weaver said on Hardball Sanders would endorse the DNC nominee.

[FSogol]

2. Zero. n/t

[think]

3. Way less likely than Ruppert Murdoch donating to Hillary and Charles Koch expressing

Support for her. That much we already know...

[whatchamacallit]

4. I hope he does

[Zynx]

8. Well, we can look forward to a president Trump, then.

And if you don't think there's a difference between Trump and Clinton, you need your head examined.

[whatchamacallit]

11. Maybe you should have run a better candidate

[tex-wyo-dem]

13. Maybe you should run a candidate who isn't under investigation...

...by the FBI, DoJ and congress.

[whatchamacallit]

14. I'm a Sanders supporter

[tex-wyo-dem]

36. Oops...my bad...guess I got lost in the back and forth

[MarianJack]

5. He won't, unless...

...he wants to be even FURTHER down the back bench than he has been for the last quarter of a century.

PEACE!

[TM99]

12. Yeah, the Amendement King

co-chair of several committees and the founder of the progressive caucus is definitely back bench.

Jesus the denial of reality with y'all Clintonites is stunning!!!

[MarianJack]

19. Denial?

Oh yes, because Back Bench Bernie is going to be SWEPT to the nomination because of a BIRD!

Yeah, right!

[TM99]

27. Typical Clintonite response.

You throw out bullshit. You are challenged with reality. So you fly off into insults and more smears.

Bravo, you do your party and candidate a solid!

[MarianJack]

32. Hmmm...

...the Clinton campaign is moving forward on the basis of ha ving more wins, more votes and more delegates, all of which are going to be much increased significantly after this coming Tuesday.

The Sanders campaign is moving based on a phoney trip to the Vatican, a complete embrace of every off debunkedrightist attack point of the last 25 years and a BIRD.

This is getting very tiresome.

BTW, at no point did I insult YOU. The use of the term "Back Bench Bernie" is based on Mr. Sanders' remarkably insignificant Congressional career. It is also VERY mild compared to the venom and invective leveled towards Hillary at every point from Sanders Supporters on this site!

Also, if in the HIGHLY unlikely circumstance of a Sanders nomination, I WILL support him. Are you going to say the same? Hmmm!

Again, very tiresome!

[TM99]

33. Keep digging!

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. About the same as Hillary endorsing Cruz.

[factfinder_77]

7. 100 % if GOP candidate goes to war on free trade agreements.

[KingFlorez]

9. Very high

There is a reason why Stein wrote him an open letter.

[Adrahil]

10. If he keeps his promises? Zero.

I expect him to keep his word.

[rjsquirrel]

15. Yes like

his promise to run a civil campaign.

Endorsing Stein would be a ticket to the wilderness. Stein or Sanders, no leftist third party wil crack 5% in America in our lifetimes.

Unlike college campuses, most Americans are not excited about leftist political rhetoric.

[Ken Burch]

16. None. And there was no good reason for you to start this thread.

Bernie is not "Bernie or Bust". He has made that clear throughout the campaign.

And, IF HRC is nominated, the way to keep the 'bust vote to a minimum is for the platform to contain as much of what the Sanders campaign stands for as possible.

Most of those who preferred HRC to Bernie are not opposed to most of what Bernie and his campaign have fought for.

[Cheese Sandwich]

17. Zero but he could meet her for pizza. Jane Sanders would be free to work with Dr. Stein too.

We're all on the same side after all, just with different strategies.

Bernie decided to work inside the Democratic Party but clearly Jill Stein shares very similar policy goals.

[Sky Masterson]

20. Zero

What are the Chances Hillary would endorse Trump?

[obamanut2012]

21. Zero, if he wants to be viable in the Senate

And get funds for reelection.

[Bread and Circus]

23. I don't think funding will ever be an issue for Sanders again.

[TSIAS]

28. He doesn't need the DNC funds

He just won more than 80 %. If even a fraction of his presidential donors gave he'd have enough to win a small state like Vermont.

[Bread and Circus]

22. Hopefully zero. It would be dishonorable given his promise.

[brooklynite]

24. Will he be retiring shortly after?

His influence in the Senate would be nonexistent if he did.

[IamMab]

25. Sanders has 2 years left of his current term as Senator. Unless he wants to lose his committee seats

he's not going to stab Democrats in the back more than he's already done so far.

[beachbum bob]

26. why would he? It would prove he was faking it as a democrat...and serve no purpose except

come across as a spiteful angry old man...

[TSIAS]

29. Probably not

Although it wouldn't be bad if she did, since she might do well enough in polls to qualify for the presidential debates.

[mythology]

30. There's no chance

If nothing else, it would remove him from committee assignments like the VA which would be especially bad for him if Democrats retake the Senate.

[MineralMan]

31. A brazillion to one.

That's about it. Jill Stein is not Presidential material in any way.

[floppyboo]

34. None. Are you being willfully ignorant?

[JoePhilly]

35. Zero

[Chan790]

37. 0%

If he doesn't endorse Clinton, he won't endorse anybody.

I'd actually lose a lot of respect for him if he endorsed Clinton after this primary season. She's demonstrably unfit to hold any office.

[Orsino]

38. Were you aware that he has pledged to support the nominee?

Why would you even ask this question?

[NCTraveler]

39. Sanders isn't that stupid. nt.
