If the progressive candidate secures the nomination, she says she'll run as a independent.
The republican has no shot of winning unless she makes it a three way race.
Maryland democrats need to get their act together!

Also, funny how things change, as she's complaining about less than 30% while in the Bronx/Queens there is rejoicing for a candidate who won with just 16% of the vote.
Whichever candidate prevails in the count will do so with less than 30 percent of the third of Democrats who voted
I believe ALL (sic) Democrats, Republicans, and independents would benefit from a third, independent choice.
