He said that he won't run independent or third party. I would not be surprised if some of his supporters mount a write-in campaign, though.

I think HCR/J. Castro in her attempt to clinch the Hispanic vote.

He has already said that he will publicly endorse whoever the Democratic nominee is.

Come election all I know is I am not voting for Hillary or Trump...so hopefully a third party candiate rises or Republicans break off from Trump with their own candidates for the Presidency.

Posting anything Ed Klein has said is a waste of time. He is not a 'journalist' and not even a 'pundit'. He is a tabloid and fiction writer. Nobody cares what he claims--as he is a notorious gossip.

And he is certainly not in Sanders' inner circle!

No they won't. Bernie actually has plans and Trump has none. Bernie appeals to the far left of the Democratic party just as much as Trump appeals to the far right.
Trump may well win the GOP nomination, and Bernie still has a good possibility of winning the Democratic nomination.

All of this is just passing gas until the primaries begin anyway. The real question that should be bantered about now is whether all the voters, not just some, want candidates who are not beholden to big money and are not in the center of the left or the right.

This defies all logic. Bernie has no chance to be nominated. Trump does. I'd say that alone demonstrates who has a plan and who doesn't.

Uh- no chance to be nominated?
Isn't that exactly the same thing everyone was saying about Donald Trump throughout this summer until just now?

So exactly why does Sanders defy "all logic"? Because he's not your guy? Since when did you have the last say-so in anything? Stick around and watch what passes for logic is defied in your little world.

Neither of them is exactly burned toast just yet.
