And they are on target to fall quite short of that in 2016.
Additionally, Fuck the Green Party and The Libertarian Party.

He's going after another one for a different party nomination now?

(8,541 posts)4. It doesn’t matter at all. If Bernie chose to go independent
He would only need to push for voters to write his name in. Only six states don't allow write ins and Louisiana as easy ballot access laws.
If Bernie wanted to he could totally go independent.

But Sanders isn't going to do it, so it's stupid to even talk about it.
