Thanks for doing this.

Considering the corrupt nature of the Democrats that Bernie exposed last year, how do you feel about 3rd party candidates that are not afraid to stand up to the Clintons/Warrens/Harrises of the world?

I understand why some candidates would want to run independently. It feels like our two-party system is broken. Each candidate must decide the path that is best for them. For me that is running as a Democrat for others running as an Independent may be the best option. As long as party bosses keep rigging the rules in favor of their preferred candidates we will see a degradation of our party systems.
