If Bernie is the nominee

[boston bean]

I think it will be likely a democrat will run as third party.

1. lol

Just like Florida senate race 2010?

They split the vote and elected Marco Rubio

2. that's silly

3. If he isn't our nominee, do you think he would run as a 3rd party?

He seems really angry, especially if theres a brokered convention.

[NurseJackie]

7. Probably. It certainly seems likely.

So, either way we're screwed, eh?

9. I fear that scenario is more likely than the one described in the OP. n/t

4. Since he has told us we are as much his enemy as the republicans, I think a lot of Democrats

would feel they have nowhere to go if he is nominated.

I'd vote for him, but I would really be nauseated by the necessity.

I'm just praying people wake up and see that he's a guy who found out the Russians were using him as a pawn to destroy our Democracy and his response was to turn around and say that Democrats were equal to republicans on his enemies list.

Our country is crumbling. He really, really isn't helping us stop that.

5. No

That would make it easier for Trump. The only way a Democrat would run as a third party candidate is if Trump has some really good dirt on Bernie and he ceases to be a viable candidate.

It will be crucial for Bernie to select the right running mate if he gets the nomination. My concern is that he’d choose someone like Tulsi Gabbard. I don’t know, I get George McGovern flashbacks from Bernie.

6. No worries

Elizabeth Warren has boxing gloves, and Mike Bloomberg is still purple. She will make short work of Bernie in a subtle, friendly, patriotic manner that schmoozes his base in the process. The lady with a plan! Never underestimate a great mind.

[Nanjeanne]

10. That would be insane.

[thesquanderer]

11. So, which Dem do you feel does not believe in "vote blue no matter who"?

Anyone who splits the Dem vote will be handing the election to Trump.

[Turin_C3PO]

12. No.

By definition, they wouldn’t be a Democrat if they ran third party. Plus, I don’t think any Dems want to hand Trump a guaranteed re-election.

13. This is what I think also!
