If the republicans, decide to nominate someone like Ryan, Trump would have a hissyfit split the party and run as an independent.

Under that scenario Bernie could run also independent and win the race in a landslide since Trump and Hillary are so universally disliked.

I know its a wild assertion, but this is a very crazy election!!!!!!
