9. My advice to him would be: switch parties - to Independent while in office, to Democratic in 2019.

While Governor Sandoval is too far to the right for my taste - and, I dare say, most other Sanders supporters - he'd still have a place in the Democratic Party, and a running start for either 2020 (if we lose this year) or 2024 (if we win). He'd have to make a few policy changes; but a seasoned, highly talented old pol like him should have no trouble doing so.

If, on the other other hand, he insists on hitching his wagon to the GOP clown car, I see nothing but boos, hisses, "RINOs" and racial epithets for Governor Sandoval - and it would be a shame because he's better than that.

Time will tell.
