(6,699 posts)If it comes right down to it I think Bernie should run as a third-party... and he would probably win.

(2,760 posts)Every state has different rules, and it's expensive to get them all figured out and met in time.
It's not like walking into an office and filling out a form.

570,000 signatures and carefully watching the calendar for months is a quite a task to get on the ballot nationwide.

(7,318 posts)I expect that Sanders will stick with his promise to not run as a 3rd candidate. Last week probably sorely tested his resolve on that, though. I wonder if Clinton is rethinking trying anything more along those lines again. We'll know soon enough--more caucus states around the nation have their state level conventions coming up in the next month.

(11,495 posts)I guess then you think Bernie Sanders is a liar, right? I mean he has come out many times and said he would not run against Hillary, and that he would help her make sure that Trump does not win. So why the bullshit hinting at him making an independent run?
