Bernie did the Democratic Party a favor

by not running as an independent or for the Green Party since he has a large following and could cause the Democratic party to lose the election. So all of you should thank Bernie for not being the next Ralph Nader. On Bernie's behalf, you're welcome

I don't think you even believe that one. BTW I do believe he would do better than Hillary with Independents. That's where Hillary might be in trouble....

He'd be pulling Rand Paul and Ted Cruz votes, not Trump.
Trump isn't someone libertarian leaning cons like.

There are a million miles between Bernie and Trump. I know I'd still be supporting Bernie and it would never occur to me to support Trump (even though he's TREMENDOUSLY WONDERFUL - LOL).
