He will never in a billion years run as independent. You're patently wrong. He hates Trump more than his supporters do.

Like all thinking adults, Bernie views Trump as a symptom of a deeper disease. Bernie has fought to fix USA's underlying problems for over four decades. Why would he care in a personal sense about the latest plutocratic figurehead? Trump's policies aren't significantly different than those of his predecessors; Bernie's policies will be.
Besides, Bloomberg is more of a Republican than Trump is. Why would Bernie care to see him elected?
If they ratfuck him this time anywhere near as bad as they did last time, he'll run independent. In that case, Trump will win even more easily than I've been expecting since February 2017. Of course, Trump has a sort of death wish, so he could invade Canada or something and then Bernie would win without owing anything to the other face of the status quo party.
The most recent results (at 62% reporting, somehow not including urban areas, for many hours now) show Bernie winning the popular vote but trailing in convention votes. I hope I'll hear Democrats complaining about the Electoral College again soon...
