Bernie Sanders is a Progressive Democrat more like President Obama than former President Bill Clinton.

Now that Hillary Clinton is over the Benghazi and email ''scandals'' Bernie Sanders will not get the Democrat Party nomination. Bernie Sanders is only a marginal ''Democrat.''

He was a Democrat of convenience -- for the election primaries -- really a usurper to the throne -- this is his only common thread with Trump who is a ''Republican of Convenience.''

Both Sanders and Trump should be running as Independent or influencing their respective party's policy platforms. Bernie is doing this ''so-far'' Trump is not and may create, or create the movement, of a real Conservative party.

There are really four spheres of political influence now;
  1. The Tea Party Reactionaries
  2. The Conservatives
  3. The Centrist Democrats
  4. The Progressive Democrats

Should the USA be a real multi party system with coalition governments? The Electoral College is empowered, in a round about way, to appoint a candidate as president by constitutional authority when there is no majority by a winner takes all in plurality. You hypothetically could win with 32%.
