Bernie Sanders
Hard to believe this guy is giving the HAG a run for the nomination like he has done so far, SMH .....

Bernie stays in primaries till the bitter end consuming her war chest. Then he runs on another ticket draining some of her normal support and ensuring her defeat.
The Clintons need to make a deal with Bernie and garner his full support to avoid an independent run as a socialist. At 74, Bernie has no future in Presidential politics. It's now or never,

To support your 3rd party run theory, The Sandman has always run as an independent, in fact he is the longest serving independent in the Senate and Congress overall in history.He only registered as a Democrat a couple of years ago, thus he has limited historical ties to the party.

Hillary doesn't have to make a deal with Bernie. No doubt he believes Hillary is a better option than anybody running in the GOP so he is not going to risk splitting votes on the Dem side. After all, Sanders got into this running for president because he wanted to move Hillary to the left.
Of course, if the DNC screws Bernie out of the nomination rather than the voters, there is no telling what he may do.

The Hag's super delegates are in line
http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/parties/democrat
Currently has a 431 to 52 lead over Sanders, with 2382 needed to secure the nomination.
Personally, I'm guessing that Hillary will be forced to drop out with health issues, once the Dems figure out she can't beat a Republican in the general election OR if the FBI brings charges for her email bungling.
And since the Dems figure the country isn't quite ready for Bernie, that's when Uncle Joe Biden comes riding in on a white horse to save the day. He's too likable to lose to the Republican riff-raff.

i don't know if Bernie wins the nomination, what i do know is it won't be Hillary. she is completely dead meat that everyone lined up to bet on.
my money is on the republicans for the presidency plus $115, i would love to see Hillary only because she will be a piece of cake to beat. plus i am rooting for Trump with the hope that he does something to get us back on track

If Sanders wins, Bloomberg says he'll run as a 3rd party candidate. This will have the effect of splitting the Democrat vote, guaranteeing a Republican victory.
I'm a Libertarian/Republican and yet I find a few things to like about Sanders
1.) He's the only candidate with the balls to call for legalization of marijuana
2.) He has some respect for the 2nd Amendment
3.) While I don't agree with him on most things, I still find him trustworthy.
Many of the others would eat their young to win.

Sanders could sweep the primaries, and he still will not get the nomination. The Democrat party won't let him. They have the delegate situation set up for who THEY want to win. Bernie clobbered Hillary in NH, yet. she got 15 delegates, and Bernie got 13. If I was STILL a Democrat, I would be pissed as hell. With them, the voters don't matter. That's why I'm an Independant, and will remain so.

The nominating process of the Democratic Party reflects their governing philosophy. The commoners aren't smart enough to make their own decisions, so they need assistance from the party elite to manage their choices and their lives.
We are the Democratic Super Delegates and we are here to help you.

If they think it's a good idea for people with psychiatric problems or dementia to vote, if they pay homeless people with liquor and cigarettes to vote, if they open the borders to criminals, terrorists, and people that will drain an already bankrupt social safety system so they can eventually vote, if they've been caught casting votes for dead people, do you really think they are giving much thought to whether they are stealing the election from Bernie?

Same with the Republicans, they won't let Trump win.

Just finished watching the first hour of the Democratic debate. Bernie is hammering the rich, if he becomes president their will be no rich people left. He has proposed every tax under the sun for the rich. Bernie is proposing all these new entitlements for the "less fortunate."
I feel sorry for Hillary, she is trying to act like a socialist to counteract all of Bernies giveaways. You can tell by just watching her body language that she doesn't believe half the stuff she says. But if she doesn't say it, her candidacy is doomed. Whoever offers the most freebies wins on the Democratic side.
Bernie just said that there is no areas of the government that should be reduced except waste.

They allow them hold office, so why not?
Seriously, Bernie might be "found in a park" if he keeps winning.
