Bernie should get out now while the getting is good.
Seems to me Bernie's political clout is about a high as it going to be and will drop off significantly as he loses most of the remaining states. June 7 could be a real disaster if he loses NJ, NM and CA all on the same day. Winning the tiny delegate states of ND, SD, & MT will be seen as meaningless compared to those 3 big delegate states he will likely lose.
Bernie has more leverage now to negotiate something significant rather than waiting until he gets blown out June 7th. A smart politician would get out now and make the best deal he can get. If he waits, he might not even get a seat in the back of the room.
Oh no.
It's been a long while since "the getting was good."
That's come and gone.
All Last-Ditch Bernie's got is getting out, period.

13. I've been saying that since NY.
If Bernie continues to hammer the Democratic party, and talking about contesting the convention, he's going to find himself on a one-way ride right off his committee roles, and be all alone and powerless in the Senate. The way to turn 'the revolution' into something that accomplishes anything at all is to make nice with the people who can help you. Getting out now would do that.
"Getting out now" won't do a damned thing; it's way too late.
Last-Ditch Bernie should've gotten out "now" weeks and weeks ago.

20. Like a seat in the back of the room at the convention.
If Last-Ditch Bernie gets that much.....
If the old sourassed sourpuss had gotten out "now" weeks and weeks ago, he probably would've been given a seat on the right-hand side of Messalina Agrippina.
But n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.....

24. Ego and vanity and a quest for power can impair judgement.
^^^a great big "Uh huh" to that.
