(6,123 posts)Tuck your fear away and let all of the states vote. It's called democracy.

(14,157 posts)they want Hillary. Bernie has lost.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)Apparently so. Just recently Hillary supporters were furious at suggestions that the Red States she won don't matter much but now her supporters are saying the rest of the entire country does not matter at all.
Some consistency would do a lot for your material.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(130,538 posts)The primaries aren't over yet, and the people in the states that haven't voted yet deserve to have a chance to speak. Bernie will do well in those states.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)rewarded with positive results. When Hillary loses she and they tend to say things they wish they had not said. They know she might do more 'Ronald Reagan warned the world about AIDS' sort of horrific errors and they know more of them will snap and say stuff so nasty they will lose all credibility. It's a win/win for Bernie.

(4,753 posts)but try again. I hear they pay per post so facts aren't necessary to collect.
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)Abroad Primary 2 to 1? Shall I post Hillary's own reasons for staying in until June? It's detailed and she mentioned Bobby Kennedy being killed so it's loaded material but she condemned those who called for her to drop out and said it was historically unprecedented and had never been asked of any other candidate, she would not speculate why she was subjected to this unique treatment. It is treatment she and her supporters are now subjecting Bernie to, she said it was personal,unique, unprecedented in all history. She was very forceful in her argument for staying in the race till the end.

lmbradford
(517 posts)From now on, every time someone on this board says to quit, that will be my cue to give more money to Bernie. Hope that inspires you. It sure does me. After every American has voted, we will get to see who won. That's how it works. Any team that quits at halftime is ridiculous, and we plan to fight til the end. See you at the buzzer!!!!
tularetom
(23,664 posts)maybe its time for her to shut it down.
We could just cancel the general election and proclaim Trump/Cruz the president.
itsrobert
(14,157 posts)But hard data.
Bernie is toast. He can't win. On to the General.
Dawgs
(14,755 posts)Why are you fighting against democracy?
tularetom
(23,664 posts)He needs to stay in the race for a lot of reasons.
As long as he is around, Clinton and her fanboys and girls will at least have to give lip service to progressive economic policies.
And besides, its only March and the convention is months away. A lot of things can happen.

Tierra_y_Libertad
(50,414 posts)He's doing a helluva good job showing how corrupt and undemocratic our political system is and how our government has been corrupted by it.
By continuing to run that demonstration will open more peoples eyes to the fact that "trusting" the rich and powerful is not what democracy is about.

(14,255 posts)Better check around, other want Bernie to stay in the race - but support Hillary and run against Trump.
No. No. Dream on. And there is no way to corral all those new little voters for Hillary. The platform differences are astoundingly diametrical to each other.
Jackie Wilson Said
(4,176 posts)maximize his message.
Bernie is not now or ever been in politics for personal gain or celebrity.
Therefore he will do what he does and it will be out of character from most politicians.
One way or another.
Orsino
(37,428 posts)There are platforms, running mates, cabinets and other favors to shape. A candidate who quits early is ceding this power. A voter who stops paying attention is giving up.
Do you recall what became of 2008's runner-up on the Dem side?
"It's time" posts tend to come across as naive.
HooptieWagon

TheCowsCameHome
(40,270 posts)How about Hillary shutting down before the indictments come out?
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)She is the only candidate running who is under a possible criminal investigation by the FBI. How would the party ever win if she's either indicted or if the investigation heats up and leaks like a sieve?
Worse yet, she might taint Obama's legacy. If the FBI recommends indicting her and Obama tries to save her, it won't look good for any Democrats.
Bernie simply has far less skeletons in the closet.
0rganism
(25,647 posts)for your post to have the usual non-effect of the "drop out now" threads, at least put something in your post that mentions the benefits to the nation of his leaving the race today rather than June 8.
rogerashton
(3,960 posts)That's a pretty good way to set Hillary up to lose in the general.

PatrickforO
(15,426 posts)Bernie still has a chance, albeit a narrow one. And you know what? I STILL want single payer.
I'm supporting Bernie because he has a 40 year track record of fighting for things that I want and think would be good for the American people. Clinton, not so much.
HumanityExperiment
(1,442 posts)Time for Hillary to give it up
She had a nice run
She just does not and will not have enough support to win
time for HRC to face facts and shut it
See how that works... I can troll stir like you, it's fun...
