Suppose Sanders gets mad after the convention, goes rogue, and the Greens give him their nomination. Then Clinton and Trump are found to have been colluding in some massive multi-million dollar scheme to raise money for each other, and just for kicks, let's say Hillary is found to have personally ordered the attack on Benghazi and Trump is discovered to be the secret mastermind of 9/11.

How does Bernie get to 270 as a third-party?

I think you answered the question before you even asked it.

Bernie Sanders: 40%
Hillary Clinton: 15%
Donald Trump: 15%
Gary Johnson: 10%
Write Ins/Others: 20%


Some notes:
Democrats/left leaners more or less flock in mass to Sanders, Republicans splinter completely.
Romney gets more votes than Sanders in Utah as a write in.  Unfortunately he isn't a valid write in candidate so it doesn't count.  
Clinton performs surprisingly strongly in heavily black areas, particularly in the Deep South and D.C., but she falls short.  
Trump almost wins Oklahoma and West Virginia, but being the mastermind behind 9/11 is just too much, even for him.  
Gary Johnson does well in New Mexico and in some of the western states.

I think you answered the question before you even asked it.

I was thinking map-wise.

In this scenario, Sanders would win every state - or maybe not!

Bernie Sanders/Jill Stein 355 EV's 37.6%
Hillary Clinton/Julian Castro 89 EV's 17.5%
Gary Johnson/James Gray 48 EV's 21.1%
Donald Trump/Chris Christie 46 EV's 22.6%

Clinton keeps her unwavering black support and Johnson becomes the Trump alternative, though some of Trump's supporters are stubborn and claim it's a liberal conspiracy. Sanders is the obvious Clinton alternative, and he benefits from divided conservatives - as does Clinton (a little bit).

Their dream is still him winning the nomination. One guy said he'd win Oregon by 70 points because he's never met a Hillary supporter.

Even in your scenario Clinton would win.
