Hypothetically, if Schultz and Bernie throw their hat in the ring, this is surely a large enough threat to the Democrats to hand Trump a walk off home run in 2020. 

It also got me wondering how vindictive a guy like Bernie Sanders could be. He got absolutely screwed by the Democrats in 2016, and seemed to handle it with "grace", but there has to be some serious animosity inside that un-combed head of his.

This could get interesting...

I think Sanders, if he won the primary, would beat Trump, as he would have in 2016. If he doesn't win the primary, I don't see him running as an independent. He's crazy, but he's not stupid. He knows that running as an independent won't get him in the White House, but it will piss off the Democrats to the point that he's basically kicked out of the party, even moreso than he was in 2016.

Schultz is not a threat to anything except good coffee.
