If Bernie Sanders runs as an independent, can he compete in the general elections even if he loses the Democratic nomination?

Question

Bernie Sanders is the only real politician in the race with a middle class lifestyle and budget and the only candidate who wants to ban fossil fuels and break the big banks saving the emvrionment and the poor.

He is a true hero and cannot be allowed to fail by his supporters.

If Bernie were to announce and independent run tomorrow or after losing the nomination of Democrats, can he still compete in general elections against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton?

Answer 1

In general, no. A number of states have what are called "Sore Loser" laws which state that someone who competes in a party primary can not then run as an independent in the general election. So Bernie would be unable to run in a number of states.

Answer 2

It would be perfect. Trump has already suggested that Bernie Sanders do just that.

Answer 3

I don't know but he's just a puppet. They will all make these grand claims but nothing will come of it in election time. It's a circus out there. Just have a cup of tea and take a seat, and know that your vote does not matter.

Answer 4

Bernie is fine. He is still a senator.

Answer 5

HE'S A COMMUNIST, YOU MORON! LMAO...What is wrong with you?
