Especially in this election, you can't go much further left than Sanders or right than Trump. In a past election year, Sanders would fit in better with the Green or Socialist parties than the Democrats, and Trump would fit in better with the Constitution or Libertarian parties than the Republicans. There would be a clear choice, and that would deny political oxygen to those third parties. The only third party that would have some political oxygen would be a centrist/moderate one, like a Kasich/Webb.
