    Imagine if Bernie had broken with the party. There’s a good chance he could’ve attracted a lot of otherwise disillusioned people and formed a real, viable third party candidate.

      Yeah but then enlightened centrists would have blamed him for Clinton’s loss, and used it to push the party further right.

      Oh wait, they did that anyway.
