barring a really egregious action, I doubt that Sanders would run as a 3rd party candidate.

Without a doubt Sanders would win in that situation. Heck, he would win now, hands down, if GE were JimDandy May 2016 #12

They don't apply to presidential candidates, though, in most states. n/t JimDandy May 2016 #13

But often times states use filing deadlines to limit sore losers. nt Cali_Democrat May 2016 #19

Texas' May 9th deadline is the only one that had passed. The majority of the deadlines come up JimDandy May 2016 #34
