Sanders as the Dem AND Trump or Cruz on the Rep side. (What he considered extreme on both sides.)

The reports I heard/saw made it clear he wouldn't get in if Hillary was the Dem nominee, cause he didn't see a path for him then (They share much of same political space)

I think that's pretty much it. The establishment can tolerate Clinton and anyone on the GOP side, but they CANNOT tolerate a Bernie Sanders.

If Sanders ended up the Dem nominee, Hillary would run independent. Bloomberg is out there just to float the idea and gauge the response.

Bloomberg may be Hillary's running mate.
