[Senator Clay Davis]

Last night was actually the first time I pondered whether Bernie could end up as an independent candidate. His path is still extremely difficult, and while he might be able to take this to a convention, since he'll almost certainly be behind in the two key metrics (delegates and popular vote), winning a convention also seems highly unlikely. With exit polls consistently showing Democrats want someone to continue Obama's path and not a radical departure like Bernie wants (70% last night for instance), winning the superdelegates seems highly unlikely as well

But he does so well with independents, in a three way race with Hillary and Trump (or Cruz), I think he could dominate independents so much it might give him a chance if he can pluck off the working class whites. So it'll be interesting if he loses a convention to see if he goes third party. If it never gets to a convention I doubt he runs though.
