Bernie running as an independent [View all]

I am not even close to being a fan of this man, but the idea is ridiculous. He's not completely insane. He knows Nader's life for the last 15 years and I am sure is not eager to live that in his dotage. Right now, he has the DNC and Hillary trying their best to be as accommodating as possible because they need his endorsement. If he runs independent, he looses any say he has over platform or anything else to do with the Democratic Party. He'll become a parish to the party he has spent his congressional career aligning with.
