But a scenario like this would almost definitely result in a President Walker, because Sanders would get a good share of Liberals and Dem-leaning Indies.

Not necessarily. Hillary could definitely still win even if he pulled a 2000 Nader-esque performance.

Sanders.

I wish you people would realize that your one vote isn't going to decide the election. You're not going to single handily prevent a Scott Walker presidency by voting for Clinton. That's not how elections work.

Who said one vote would? It would depend on how well he's doing nationally.

The problem is that Sanders could pull off something between an Anderson and Perot performance... and his electorate would lean much more heavily Dem than Perot or Anderson's.

I highly doubt that. Even Nader 2000 is a stretch considering how much more popular Hillary is among the base than Gore was.
