Yes, Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat and Hillary represents the very worst of the party/SALON

102. You know just because you bold your text doesn't help your argument

Anyways,

You are asking for a hypothetical poll. Obviously there is no poll yet because he has not declared himself as an independent candidate...yet

But one can project. IF Sanders already has such high independent voter numbers now, those would only increase if he shed his Democrat label. And while some Democrats that are for Bernie now would submit to the powers that be and DWS and endorse the party sanctioned candidate...I project that the deeply important progressive issues, many traditional Democratic policies, that he is proposing has garnered him the type of support that is not so easily turned away from once it is finally offered. There is a yuuuuge segment of Democrats that have been simmering and stewing more and more as Obama allowed the status quo to continue after promising change. They now will not so easily be co-opted. Add to that independents and even Republicans that would never vote for a Democrat and hate the choices that their own party has given them.....
