In reply to the discussion: Trump calls for Sanders to 'run as an Independent' [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,764 posts)Now I have heard elsewhere, maybe it was on Maher's show, that it is in all practicality, too late to run as an independent. Because there are like seven states where you must have registered to run as an independent months ago, and so those States would not be able to vote for that candidate. So even if Sanders (or Trump) had more national popular vote than the others, the two official candidates from the parties would have an insurmountable advantage.
But...if that information was wrong, maybe it was, then if it were a four way race?......Hillary should also be very very afraid. Those that felt betrayed by Obama's 180 on issues of Wall St. and using the MIC, whistleblower persecution, defense of BP and more drill baby drill offshore, and many other issues......held their noses to vote him back in for a second term as the clear easy choice against Mitt, may not be so enthralled to re-vote back in yet another third way corporatist business-as-usual candidate IF they have a choice for a candidate that has way more credibility to do what they only could dream that Obama could have, should have, started.
