“Sanders by definition IS a third party independent who is poaching on the dimocrat primaries. In that sense he has been running a third party candidacy all along.”

Depending upon your perspective, you could argue that Trump is also a third-party candidate. He certainly doesn’t fit the stereotype of a GOP candidate.

“I have picked up the term “cupcake” from other freepers who use the term interchangeably with “snowflakes”. Both terms refer to the college students who can’t take the strain of seeing the word “Trump” in print and have meltdowns over it.”

Thanks. Hadn’t heard that.

I agree that Trump can also be seen as a third party within the republican party. One of my forecasts for this election has been, this could wind up as a 4-way race with two independents:

Establishment republican-Trump-Hildabeast-Sanders.

Wouldn't that cause an interesting split in the votes? In that case I think the hildabeast would win because Trump would tear off more votes from (Romney) than sanders would from the hildabeast. She would have the plurality.

If the republicans consolidate behind Trump (or Cruz) they win because of the sanders peel-off.
