Here's a scenario: Hillary gets the nom and Bernie joins with Jill Stein, Ind's vote for them. [View all]

Whadda ya think? There's more Ind's than repukes or Dems. I'm not advocating for this but I have seen this posted on FB. This is just another reason that Bernie must be our Dem candidate. Ind's will vote for him. Remember that the primary is not over yet and we can still be for Bernie here on DU. What you do after that is up to you and your conscience. I'll vote for Hillary if I have to but still hope I won't have to.

Amazing that people find no good ideas from other parties but only the Dem party. Ivan Kaputski Mar 2016 #15

Right, because a staff and Cabinet can only be assembled from the same pool of people BernieforPres2016 Mar 2016 #13
