Here's the thing - the Dem crazies who have been foaming at the mouth about Trump for two years now would seemingly rather Trump was prez than a genuine 'progressive'. Stein is feverishly denounced as Russian puppet, as is any actually economically left-of-centre Dem candidate who emerges.
Sanders would have been a far more interesting election. He certainly would have challenged Trump in the key states and his presence would have disrupted Trump's entire campaign against the political establishment.
