Why Bernie Sanders Might Accept Jill Stein Offer To Run On a Green Party Ticket in November

USA Supreme ^ | June 28, 2016

Thd threat of Arkancide will stop a 3Rd party run.

Bernie should wait, he could still get the democrat nomination

Nah. Even if they indicted Hillary, it would go to Biden. In fact, that would be the objective of the indictment.

[CaptainK]

If true, I’ll be sending a serious donation to Bernie.

[Jane Austen]

And should the Demo pick somebody else in her place, Bernie and his supporters would raise hell. I believe he is hanging on with the hope she will be indicted.

Lurch is still in the lurch. With his super diplomatic skillz of holding James Taylor concerts without mics.

If it happened before the convention maybe, but if she is the nominee I’m wondering if it would go to the vice presidential candidate.

[dayglored]

I have not yet seen an official statement from Jill Stein that if Bernie will run as the Green Presidential candidate that she will accept the VP position. She ran for President herself in 2012, so why would she accept VP? Does anybody have a link to an actual (not speculative) statement?

Of course, Bernie might not make it through the first term, in which case...

A Bernie/Stein ticket would not win outright, but it would provide interesting pre-election debates, and it would block the Dems from winning. What's not to love?

Sadly leftists HATE CONSERVATIVES (and the West, for that matter) so much that they’re willing to put up with Muslims flying planes into buildings, shooting up joints, and re-populating their own countries, just to stick it our eye.

So I wouldn’t expect Bernie to take up the offer as it would sink Hillary’s already meager chances of victory.

But it would be great to see it happen!

[JBW1949]

That would be the democrats “Ross Perot”...Go Bernie...

[JBW1949]

Bernie’s so old, he isn’t worried about “Arkancide”....

[Reno89519]

I think this is wishful thinking. Unless Sanders is seriously dissed at the convention, he won’t do this. He might, though, be welcoming this as leverage with Clinton... Force he to pick him, for example.

[98ZJ USMC]

“...Bernie Sanders has at least 43% of the democrats and 70% of the independents...”

Nonsense. Trump has the majority of the Independents.

Yeah, that's a load of crap. At the least, he splits them.

A Bernie/Stein ticket would not win outright, but it would provide interesting pre-election debates, and it would block the Dems from winning. What's not to love?

Better, it might result in the death of the Democrat Party. The socialist true-believers end up in the Green Party, and all the D's have left is the Friends of Goldman Sachs and the establishment RINOs from the GOP -- not a vote-inspiring combination.

Bernie, please zot the Democrat Party!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Do it Bernie.

[grania]

That could be GREAT for Trump

Be careful what you wish for. If it's close in the electoral college, and Bernie pulls in a few states, the chaos would go to the very secretive electoral college. The backstabbing elite have already shown us there is nothing too low that they'll do in rigging nominations and stealing elections. Who knows who they'd give us as President.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If Bernie, a Red, joins Stein a Green, their new party would be called the “Watermelon Party. Green on the outside, red on the inside, and Stein is pretty far left herself. Just spoke at the Socialist Left Forum in New York recently, a totally Marxist/communism affair.
