3. there is a path to Bernie running in enough states to win the electoral college should he choose

to run independently after of the DWS-DNC convention. It is a bit complex but Bernie can run in 46 states deciding after the convention.

Were a grassroots effort to register state Bernicrat parties (collecting signatures, paying incorporation and filing fees, etc.) in most states by the state filing deadlines would simplify the process certainly.
