Sanders as a third-party candidate.....might it work?
#35
Drew Phipps Wrote:The Republican delegates are all pledged to follow the popular vote, at least on the first ballot. The purpose of the superdelegate, while "undemocratic," is to prevent the Democratic Party winding up nominating a (ahem) "unelectable" candidate like Trump (examples McGovern and Carter). Unfortunately, it also means that they won't wind up with a candidate like Sanders.

I certainly hope that someone does a study of how the premature announcement affected voters in those late primaries.

Sadly I do not think Trump is unelectable. The number of Democrats voting this year was way down. While the number of Republicans voting for Trump was off the charts. That does not portend well for November. We are voting Green.
