The Demorats are worried.
For obvious server-like reasons.
Bernie Sanders is tending to attract more persons to his rallies than is Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite the fact that she has, at this point, a greater purse.
Yes, there may be trouble in River City, with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Fool. Okay; maybe that doesn’t completely rhyme.
But it still portends trouble.
Just as Trump is beginning to seriously worry persons in the Old Staid GOP — the RINO 
Element if you will — Bernie Sanders is beginning to worry the DNC. Because if there’s one thing that Sanders can’t stand, it’s corporatists like Hillary Rodham Clinton, no matter what she says. Her son-in-law, for example, Marc Mezvinsky, is a hedge fund manager for Eaglevale Partners (which lost its investors 48% last year; that’s called a “massive hedge fund loss”), and he and Chelsea live in a $10.5 million dollar condo in Manhattan. Paid for by — wait for it — hedge fund profits and the Clinton Foundation.
Sanders makes no bones about his disdain for a capitalistic society, and his equal disdain for all things corporate.
That said, the Demorats profit, truly, more from corporate donations than do Republicans, in a greater dollar amount. Cut off those donations, as Sanders wants to do, and —
I’m certain you can see the problem.
Bernie Sanders sees the problem as well.
That’s why the Sanders world is quietly abuzz — by those who buzz — about his consideration for going Independent. He not only doesn’t want to be beholden to corporate interests and payback, he wants to — gulp! — curtail those things altogether, ideally.
[Cue the breast-beating, wailing, tears, floor-stomping by Demorats.]
Not precisely what you wanted to hear or read, Demorats, but there it is. Now publicly put out into the ether that is the internet.
Bernie Sanders is waiting to see if the Demorats may turn their ship another direction, and just how well — ala Trump — he is treated or mistreated by them.
My my my, how the plot thickens.
And isn’t that just a fine kettle of fish?

A POTUS election without an incumbent is typically interesting, but this 2016 Election may shape up to be a doozie.
I don’t have a clue as to how it’ll go.

i pretty much held to the Sanders is an idiot meme until it occurred to me that i only knew what the MSM was telling me. i don’t believe the MSM when they talk about the right, so why should i believe them on Sanders. so i read a pretty good interview and decided that Sanders is not what the MSM claims. he is not a socialist as in next-step-communist. he is a democratic socialist which is actually fairly mainstream in Europe. his model is not Russia or China, but Sweden in the ’70s.
he is wrong, and i wouldn’t vote for him under any situation that my imagination can conjure, but he isn’t what the MSM says he is.
the interview that i read was by Klein at Vox, i hold neither Klein nor Vox in any esteem, but i learn nothing if i only read those i already agree with.

YMMV
You’re absolutely correct. That’s why I subscribe to The Economist and read HuffPo and others. But Bernie may go divisive just as Trump may go divisive.

So we LITERALLY could have four candidates… Dem/Pub/Trump/Sanders Oh this could be fun!
Still leaves old school Blue Dog Democrats like me with no horse in the race. Oh well, we are damn near extinct anyway.
