FYI, The deadline for 3rd party candidates has passed in many states. Many others are about to pass.

The only third party ticket that will (likely) be on all state/territory ballots is the Libertarian one.

Reported on MSNBC last night.

And they are on target to fall quite short of that in 2016.

Additionally, Fuck the Green Party and The Libertarian Party.

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.
