Stein, expected to become the party’s nominee at its August convention, says she has invited Sanders to collaborate: ‘Everything is on the table’

Bernie Sanders has been invited to continue his underdog bid for the White House by the Green party’s probable presidential candidate, who has offered to step aside to let him run.

Jill Stein, who is expected to be endorsed at the party’s August convention in Houston, told Guardian US that “overwhelming” numbers of Sanders supporters are flocking to the Greens rather than Hillary Clinton.

Oh yes please! Let Bernie be the Ross Perot of the race. Split the dems, crush Hitlery and send Trump to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

It would hurt Mrs. Bill if Bernie became the Green nominee but might not matter too much in the North, which decides these things.

Turnabout is a _____.

The Clintons used this tactic with Perot in order to win with far less than a majority. It would be poetic justice to see it work agains them.

although Trump is hoping for some Bernie voters too, so it may or may not truly help Trump if Bernie takes up Jill’s offer.

Yes, Bernie, accept Stein’s invitation!!
Make payback a b*tch for Killary and siphon off enough votes to help Trump win. Trump has been far better to you than the entire democrat party. Remember the super delegates that even now are the only reason she is going to get the nomination.
Maybe, President Trump will appoint you to negotiate a trade deal!!

After what Crooked Hillary did to Bernie—and to the Dim voters of my liberal state—she deserves to have Bernie come back and help swing the election to Donald Trump!!!!
