Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: POLL: If they gave the nomination to Biden, should Bernie run as an independent? [View all]Pharaoh
(8,209 posts)7. Some other possibility
If the republicans, decide to nominate someone like Ryan, Trump would have a hissyfit split the party and run as an independent.
Under that scenario Bernie could run also independent and win the race in a landslide since Trump and Hillary are so universally disliked.
I know its a wild assertion, but this is a very crazy election!!!!!!
