There are very few polls, based in a Google Search that I just did, that show who would win in a Trump, Clinton, Sanders matchup. This is assuming the RNC doesn't screw over Trump even though he won their primaries and caucuses fair and square from what I can tell.
Maybe it's by design that the corporate media won't do it since they are scared of Sanders's progressive ideas?
The likability and other factors lead me to think that Bernie would win in a three way race. The reality is that these elections are run by Secretary of States who can really be partisan (ex, Katherine Harris) and they won't put Bermie on the ballot and enough Americans are too lazy to just write him in and there are paperless electronic voting machines made by snakes like Deibold.
I know some are going to throw Gary Johnson's name out, but he hasn't had even a serious debate with Trump or Clinton, has, what 1/10th of the crowds and votes and support that Sanders has and 2/3rds of America don't even know who he is. Do your own poll for that.
Thoughts?
Bernie Sanders, more than anything, wants to assure that D. Trump never makes it into the White House, except on the White House tour. As such, he doesn't want to risk having a 3-way race, with any possibility that no candidate will reach 270 electoral votes and throw the decision to the GOP controlled House, presumably where Trump will win. End of story.

Take a chance?
I think if his staff took some time to do polls like this, they may be pleasantly surprised.
Plus the DNC telling those that support his ideas no way as far as including them in the platform in the convention shows the Democratic Party is too Republican lite.

How many times must Bernie tell you that he won't run as a third party candidate?
If Bernie decides to run on the Green Party ticket I am still writing in Supreme. Supreme"s gig is mocking democracy and showing how stupid it came become. This election is proof and the nonsense from both parties is mind boggling. I do not care who wins, and voting for the lesser of 2 evils in my book makes you chump. That is exactly what the establishment wants you do and you are falling right in line.
Bernie couldn't beat Hillary in the Democratic primary. Why would he beat her in a general election? Besides which, he's already made it clear that he's not running third party.
And besides, Bernie wouldn't just be "put on the ballot" if he did say he wanted to run - there is a process involved and the deadline in many states has already passed or is rapidly approaching. It takes thousands and thousands of signatures and a major ground game to get this accomplished. Libertarians have been working on this for months and I'm not sure they have met the requirements to be on the ballot in every state yet.
Other than left-leaning independents, who else would vote for Bernie in the general election??????? Despite all the talk about Bernie's "political revolution" and support from independents, he wound up with approximately 4 million fewer votes than Hillary in the primary.
