More and more likely: A third-party "real Republican" candidate for president.

54. I think it would be interesting if they do... Many have said, if there are 2 Pub candidates in the

GE, then Bernie running as an Independent would be pushed as well. It could make for a very interesting GE year if we had 4 candidates for the American people to choose from...

The thing is, with say a Trump, Hillary, and establishment Republican, in a year of voters rejecting the establishment, big money, corporate candidates, is that Trump may actually win. How different would Hillary or an establishment Republican really sound at a debate against Trump? On the economy, foreign involvement and hawkish stances to up the war against ISIS, and the issues of the economy with trade and loss of good paying jobs? Trump is saying "populist" types of ideas. He doesn't do an inclusive agenda like Bernie takes, but uses misogynistic, racist, and divisive rhetoric to blame these problems that millions of people are facing in their real lives on an "other".

Now, if Bernie came in as a 4th candidate in the GE, he would have the populist message, be anti-establishment, speak inclusively, and tap into the Independents who weren't allowed to vote in many primaries and caucuses to rally around his message. And I think he would bring a lot of people into the process. I think Voter participation would increase; especially with the 30 and younger generation who haven't participated all that much. He might actually pull out a victory of 270 with a 4 way race. Plus, you know how nasty 2 Republican candidates would be piling up the assault on Hillary. If you think Bernie has been "tough" on her (lol), just wait until the nasty from the Pukes start in on her. Trump is already calling her Corrupt Hillary. The e-mails and items within those e-mails will be dripped out and thrown around from now and until November. AND they will go after the Clinton Foundation and her roll in the State Dept. AND Libya will be a humongous focus. They will even have President Obama's own words saying his biggest regret was Libya. AND then the connection from Ghadaffi's opponent placing $500,000.00 into the Foundation's coffers, and then the US involving itself in regime change within a few days. It's going to be one ugly GE season. Having a Bernie choice in the race may just save the US from itself.
