Why I think Bernie should drop out.
Wherever the bulk of the blame for the current state of affairs lies- and you have your opinion and I have mine- at this point damage is being done.
The damage I'm personally most concerned with is the damage to this nascent movement and to Bernie. The two are closely linked at this point.
I don't want to argue about whether the movement/revolution exists- again, you have your opinion and I have mine. I don't and won't engage about Bernie's merits or flaws.
At this point, I don't see the point of his continuing to run. He cannot win. Period. Full stop. I know that if he concedes before June 7, millions of his supporters will be disappointed.
One thing I know about Bernie, is that he can be very stubborn. And it seems as if he's being reactive at this point. I sympathize.
What I'd like to see him do is concede, endorse and campaign for Hillary and raise money for down ticket races. Just think what a fundraising boost he could be for progressive candidates. I'd like to see him grow the movement and continue aiming the spotlight on the issues he's brought to the fore.
Bernie has contributed so much to the national dialogue, and windows of opportunity are unpredictable.
None of this changes my opinion of Hillary, but as I've said repeatedly, my bottom line is sanity. She is. Drumph isn't.
Bernie currently has the opportunity, should Hillary be elected, to be the loyal opposition when Hillary backtrack on issues like trade and regulation.
And that's all, folks. Savage away.
Sanity? There is not sanity with in the rat party.

The bern shouldn't drop out until the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive drops out first.

Hell, he should stay in until she hits the 'Magic number' with obligated delegates, the super-Ds should not be counted in that because they can change sides right up until they record their vote at the convention. Democrats sure don't seem to like democracy very much.

The 100 year history of the modern left is a loop,they always act the same.

Bernie and Biden could make Bum Road movies after they both retire since neither has ever been gainfully employed.
Realistically, Bernie can't drop out. It's the only thing he knows how to do.

He said that he's in it "until the last ballot is counted."
Thing is, he didn't qualify that statement with a time frame--is it the last ballot in the primaries? Is it the last ballot at the convention? Is it the last ballot in the general election? :confused:

I haven't seen him address ANY foreign policy, but I imagine the questioning would go like this:
MSM: Senator Sanders, what is your plan to deal with ISIS?
Bernie: Well, first we have to break up the big banks so ISIS can't launder money. Then we have to institute universal health care so the vets get the care they deserve. Third we have to combat climate change to turn all that desert into lush farmland, giving the ISIS fighters jobs instead of weapons.

That's definitely H5-worthy. Duly given.

There are three different DUmmies, Kali, Cali, and cali, who are easy to confuse.
By far and away, the most entertaining is cali, Miss Eva Gage, the heroine of the Great Vermont Earwig Invasion.
She's an alcoholic, a pain pill addict, and a cripple, who has been unemployable since being wallduded and fired for launching the earwig hoax.

She is just trying to save herself from being banned by Skinner. :mental:

No. Not sanity, in any way, shape or form. Simply, a realization that Cankles cannot carry the (D)Marxists to victory without the Bernouts.
Guess what, Marxists? That ain't happening.
