Well, whoop-whoop-whoop-de-do.

It's about ****ing time; he should've "re-evaluated" the first week of last March, and dropping out, wasted any more of anybody else's time.

Sanders Adviser Says Campaign May Have To 'Reevaluate' After Tuesday
 
....On Tuesday, five more states hold primaries, and polling suggests Clinton is in for another good night. When asked if there would come a point when Sanders tones down his criticisms of the front-runner, as Clinton did late in the 2008 race, Sanders senior campaign adviser Tad Devine said he'd see what happens on Tuesday.

"If we think we've made enough progress, then we'll keep on the path that we're on," Devine said. "If we think we have to, you know, take a different way or reevaluate, you know, we'll do it then. But right now, we think the best path beyond is the one we laid out months ago."

That path involves winning a lot in the weeks ahead — and finally overtaking Clinton in pledged delegates in June. Although some in Sanders' orbit are talking about a fight at the convention in July, Devine said the only winning strategy is for Sanders to come out ahead in pledged delegates. And that won't be easy.

Right now, the Clinton campaign and other Democrats are getting worried that some of Sanders' attacks are going to leave a mark that will hurt her in the general election, should she be the nominee. Sanders raised significantly more money than Clinton in March and has been able to outspend her on television ads in state after state. To maintain her lead, Clinton has to keep campaigning hard, running ads and not fully turning her attention to the general-election fight.

Elleithee said the way Sanders and his surrogates handle the next month-and-a-half will determine his campaign's legacy.

"People ought to feel good about what he did," Elleithee said. "The problem is too often campaigns in this position end up squandering a lot of that goodwill as part of the end game."

The hard part is knowing when the end game has begun.

1. HRC created the mark that will hurt her as She Slashed and Burned, Party Unity Later
 
The Bernie supporters are pro Bernie as opposed to Anti-Hillary because:

He isn't about power or position for himself but is for the people and his platform speaks volumes to what he has consistently fought for throughout his political career.

Hillary is about power, position, and financial self gain as she has flipped-flopped throughout her career to gain power and the benefits it yields. TO name a few ...a Goldwater girl....anti gay marriage ... super predators...NAFTA...Iraq... TPP..etc.

So if Hillary ends up with the nomination it will likely be a republican win because of the Ralph Nader effect as there are many Bernie supporters that might shift to Dr. Jill Stein whose platform is close to what Bernie's is.

Picking the lesser of two evils is not necessarily a choice people of conviction do.

And even if Hillary adopts Bernie's platform, there is the question of trust.. For what we have seen from Hillary career is that she will say one thing publicly and do another privately for power and wealth not to mention her Slash and Burn (Bern), Then Worry About Party Unity Later

to the corn-cracking jimmy primitive, above

12. knock yourself out
 
You sound gleeful about the possibility of another election 2000.

That will show HRC, and her supporters and Nancy Pelosi and Debbie W. Schultz.

Party purists are going to be real REAL sorry if a republican gets in there, because of stubbornness.

How do you know Sanders isn't in it for himself? You dont run for president if you dont WANT the powers.

Your also assuming he will have a democrat senate and house. He wont get CRAP done without one.

I started out voting for Reagan, so NONE of us can ever change our minds about positions or people?

If there is any question of TRUST its in your own minds. 25 years of republican lies and way left unhappiness with more moderate dems is the problem.

Because you so can TRUST the republican party. They never LIE, CHEAT or STEAL.

Right now Charles Koch is trying to influence the election by making it sound like Clinton is terrific for them.

Hes only spending millions trying to defeat all democrats, but lets believe what he says, because..

So if Hillary ends up with the nomination it will likely be a republican win because of the Ralph Nader effect as there are many Bernie supporters that might shift to Dr. Jill Stein whose platform is close to what Bernie's is.

The number of democrats who vote for a crackpot candidate like Stein would be a very small fraction of the number of repukes who could never vote for Trump, in the unthinkable event of his nomination.

Unless she's felled by the throat rot or an indictment, the result would be a thunderous landslide for the Hildebeast, and three or four new young moonbats on the Supreme Court.

18. He hasn't lived there for eons--it's not like there's anyone left in the old neighborhood.

He cut his roots a half century ago. Didn't ever go back. That's probably why he didn't feel much love.

Yet it's still puzzling, why the Commies in NYC, who voted in Commie DeBlasio as mayor, didn't go all in with Bern.  Of course, all the college towns did.     Oh that's right, it's not puzzling at all.  Better the Commie you know than the Commie you don't know. 

True bouncy:  I was at a rally for an R candidate before the primary.  There were four Bernie protesters (vs. 5K+ attendees).  They looked straight out of a DU picture thread.  A fat wife, a husband who was 200 pounds lighter than her, with hair sticking up all over, a fat kid, and another ugly dude.  They had signs with way too many words on it to read.  The fat kid had a sign that said "this is a joke, right?"  As we were getting in our cars to drive home, the woman plaintively cried "Vote Bernie!!!"  I said, "no way, Commie."

I wish the (D)Ummies would re-evaluate breathing.
