Sanders as a third-party candidate.....might it work?
Magda Hassan Wrote:No, just a hypothetical musing. I know all of what you say there. I am just exploring the possibility if, despite a no fly zone over Bill's crimes, imagine Hilary is picked up and swept away by the giant condor and never seen again or if she goes duck hunting with Dick Cheney and he shoots her or gets hit by her campaign bus or any other possible tragedy and she is out of the running of president. What are the options? Would her running mate get picked? Would they go to Bernie? Would they go with Martin O'Malley? Go with no one? Call it off? Still trying to understand US political process for president. Corruption aside.

I don't recall this ever happening in the US. Not sure there is a formal process. The Democratic Party would have to pick a new candidate...how would be up to them, I guess. There really wouldn't be time to call for a new convention. It wouldn't be Sanders IMHO...but likely whateverhisnameis the Vice Presidential candidate....another looser in all senses of the term. I think this is going to be a very chaotic election for a lot of reasons.....Trump one-liners, a really polarized society, the Sanders defectors, the Republican establishment defectors and the unknowns as to what happens to Hillary...but I think the Secret Establishment will try its best not to bring up the criminal stuff - but who knows......

...one thing is for sure...the least popular and most disliked President in recent times is about to be chosen to lead the most powerful nation...not a good sign for the World nor U.S. I think either one will be a disaster, with Trump a much worse/dangerous/unpredictable one. With Clinton you know what type of evil you get. Smile

It has it parallels in the late Roman period, when the Emperors were more and more corrupt and less and less popular as the Empire crumbled. Same in the US now.
