2. 2nd letter we have posted from the BURLINGTON PRESS! ~ lol!

They're calling their Senator back!

[misterhighwasted]

3. "Senator, the contest is over. It is time to stand down."

"His one-man band revolution is going nowhere and only serves to keep right-wing Republicans in power in Washington. Senator, the contest is over. It is time to stand down."

Thank you Burlington Free Press.

6. Whoa..

That's um, that's well, wow--that's pretty fuckin funny to tell you the truth, I'm kinda laughing here.. Damn, Bernie. Sorry bout that. Really.

[Thinkingabout]

8. Does he think he needs to lose by more votes? There will be more votes and delegates for

Hillary.

10. Yikes!

That's all, Bernie!

11. It's a reader-submitted piece, not the paper's official editorial stance

Many papers allow readers to write editorials for publication. (The ones in my paper are at http://cdapress.com/columns/my_turn/) It is, however, None Such's hometown paper and as such an article like this is still pretty good.

12. READ THE COMMENTS. (click "Leave a Comment")

I agree with the writer. At this point there are many people in this country who believe that Bernie is now beginning to damage his own ability to run for his seat in the US Senate because he and many of his operatives are making his campaign look like it's out of control.

14. 3,2,1, till some bro claims this is proof that the Hillary camp is terrified of the

unbeatable juggernaut that is BS.



They crack me up, those kids!

[dubyadiprecession]

15. BS needs someone to sing 'desperado' to him.

The race is over (BS) you lost.

[Cha]

17. If BS keeps trying to screw up this country for his own fundraising benefit it would be

just desserts if they didn't re-elect him in Vermont.

Mahalo for this, RKM

18. I said earlier his campaign has become a personal vendetta against Hillary. That's the only

explanation for his continued ranting, smearing, both Hillary and the Democratic party. If he continues like this, he will help rid the political scene of his own revolution ..and that will be a good thing.

19. I wish he would own up to his losses and step down with a modicrum of grace

instead of forcing her to waste money while he works to overturn the will of the majority of voters and quietly disparage her character. I'm so fed up with this man.

Snippet from your article:

This is a landslide in Secretary Clinton’s favor by all measurements.

...

Sen. Sanders must stand down for the good of the country and for the good of the causes he supports. The key to change in this country and to tackling economic inequality lies in the control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The infamous Koch brothers are focusing their attention on the House and Senate while Sen. Sanders’ campaign is becoming more like a cult of personality. He has done little to support the Democrat Party and his continuing in this campaign will offer not an iota of support to candidates trying to overturn the Republican control of the House and Senate.

...
Senator, the contest is over. It is time to stand down.
