At least Bernie's been pretty successful. Theoretically someone could also run on populist policies like his and succeed as 3rd party.
No, they couldn't. Bernie knew that. There are too many loyal Democratic voters. It would just hand the election to the Republican.
We're talking about midterms, not president. There's no reason Bernie has been successful that bars others from doing the same.
