He won't vote split because he won't have the funding to run an independent campaign that is any different than the ones that get run every year that you don't hear about. For perspective in 2012 there were over two dozen candidates on at least one state ballot for president. Over a dozen with some party affiliation that had presidential and vice-presidential nominees. And honestly, other than gun control all the democratic candidates agree on the broad strokes. I don't think there is enough difference to run an independent campaign on.
