    Did Sanders promise not to run as a third party candidate? Because if he did now I think he'd have a pretty good chance.

      He did promise to support the eventual Democratic nominee. Kept that promise, too. Even when the Green Party offered him their presidential nomination, along with their places on the ballot in all fifty states, he declined, having already struck his Faustian bargain. Odds are he never expected his candidacy would be welcomed the way it was. Something tells me hadn't expected the 'election irregularities' to come either.

      @AdelleChattre -

      Being a honest politician nowadays is a guarantee for failure it seems :(
