Topic: What are the odds of Bernie Sanders going third party and sinking Hillary like Ralph Nader in 2000?

Bernie has no loyalty to the Democratic Party and he thinks the system is rigged by the wall street billionaires. Bern victims aren't going to be thrilled with "the lesser of two evils" and would vote Bernie as a protest against both Hillary and Trump. It would only take a few percent to mess things up.

@OP
Zero percent. Bernie doesn't have to feel loyalty to the Democratic party to respect the primary process he is a part of. I'm not even going to touch your simplistic mangling of his view on 'the system'.

You're enthusiastically wrong about presidential politics a lot meta. Is this a schtick?

This is just me pondering a hypothetical scenario, not a political science thesis. Thanks.

I just thought of it because there was some speculation a while back that Trump would do just that and cause a Hillary landslide.

I think Bernie is smart enough to NOT put himself in the same position Cruz is in. In US Senate Cruz is despised. Bernie wood end up despised by his the Senate Dems.

Its zero anyway because Bernie has already said he will do anything to stop Trump.

I am not so sure Bernie is doing all he can to stop Trump so perhaps not so much so smart.

Is US Senate Cruz a 15 myle jog from that dead end roach infested nursing home you currently reside in?
