Bernie Sanders swept Washington state, Alaska and Hawaii this weekend. Huge wins for him and keeps his momentum going. This will certainly keep him in the race and boost his fundraising. While Clinton still has a strong delegate lead, I'm sure this didn't sit well with her campaign. If he keeps his current momentum and continues to win states, I wonder how much support he'll have for a third party run once he loses to Clinton? I know it's not likely, but would be interesting to see as it could be a Ross Perot situation for the Democrats this time around.

Hawaii, with its 25 delegates, was slightly more front and center: One of Sanders’ top surrogates, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, worked to swing the state in his favor with campaign appearances and television ads focused on veterans.
I don't honestly understand how any veteran could support Sanders. He stands for everything that veteran's have worked so hard to defend.

Agreed. The DNC has already loaded the table for Hillary to be coronated. Bernie may very well take his following and run 3rd party.
But on the other side, I have no doubt come the RNC convention they pull the rug from under Trump, show Cruz the door and bring out the establishment choice and nominate him. That will fracture the Republican Party and we may even see Trump run as an independent.
So this scenario could have 4 players in November and perhaps see the election go to the House of Representitives.
