Bernie's campaign manager: Hillary and Bernie are helping each other by keeping the race going.

Vermont senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager told CNN this morning that the candidate is “helping” former secretary of state Hillary Clinton by remaining in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination even though his mathematical odds of winning the nomination outright is shrinking.

“I would say that we are helping Hillary Clinton, as a matter of fact, assuming that she’s the nominee, and I think that Hillary Clinton is helping Bernie Sanders, assuming that he’s the nominee,” Jeff Weaver told Chris Cuomo on CNN’s New Day.

As long as they stick to discussions of issues and keep attacking Trump's false 'populism', I agree with Mr. Weaver.

I am glad that neither of our candidates acts like Trump did in their primary. All he did was personal attacks against other candidates and spent almost no time discussing issues.
