Who Is The Democrat Candidate if Bloomberg Independent runs against Sanders Independent and the Republican nominee in the general election? Why isn't the Democrat Party making Sanders convert? What if Trump went Independent, too? Would it be the end of both political parties?

Isn't it just bizarre that at this point that's just the mainstream term for it on the right? And if a Republican candidate were to use the correct term, it would count against them? Just amazing stuff.

A party of petulant geezers. The rhetorical equivalent of crapping one's diaper.

Members of the Democratic party are called Democrats, but it is still the Democratic Party and the Democratic candidate.

Yep, any Republican candidate who used the correct term would be labeled a "RINO" and booed off the stage.
