The BernStein ticket?

Here is part of what Stein wrote in her open letter to Bernie in April:

Quote:
The Democratic machine has launched an unjust attack on your campaign – from the NY Daily News hit job to Paul Krugman’s unfounded assault, the DNC’s efforts to minimize your debate exposure, and the near-unanimous endorsement of Clinton by Democratic elected officials and super-delegates.

Wow, how correct she was...

Maybe Bernie supporters should've looked at Stein a long time ago.

Is it even possible this late in the game? An independent Sanders ticket would destroy Clinton's chances of winning and he's not going to do that unless there is some extraordinary circumstances.

What would have been a fantastic outcome is if both Bernie and Trump got the shaft and both ran independent bids. Wishful thinking....

Sanders sold out and in doing so lost his credibility, why should his supporters trust him anymore?

Stein is working to get Sanders on the ticket. Now that he's an independent, everything is getting pulled together.

Sanders supporters look to Green Party's Jill Stein to take up the cause | Fox News

Go Bernie!

If Bernie had any integrity he would have endorsed Jill Stein.

Bernie can't run because of sore loser laws, besides the deadlines for turning in petitions in many states will be too soon to get on the ballot.

Well bernie declaring as an independent again will hopefully siphon even more of his former supporters away from Hilliary and this is a good thing.

If the dems had been smart, they would have figured out a way to run a Clinton/Sanders ticket.

That would have been unbeatable.
