More Sanders staffers exit campaign

More Sanders staffers exit campaign
By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI 05/17/16 01:05 PM EDT

A handful of high-level staffers have left Bernie Sanders’ campaign in recent days, including his director of technology and three of the four members of his original senior leadership team in California — a state his team has said is critical to his bid for the Democratic nomination.

The moves come at a time of contraction for the campaign, which let go of hundreds of field staffers earlier this month amid slowed fundraising.

Zach Schneider, among the campaign’s lead tech staffers, voluntarily left on Friday after six months when the in-house text messaging program he had been working on was cut, he told POLITICO.

You truly...like, truly truly...think Bernie Sanders will be the Democratic nominee in the fall?

Given the Nevada debacle and the follow-on attacks on Nevada Democratic Party leadership, I think that is the step he should take.

He will not be the nominee. He knows that. It's time to back away and support the person who will be the nominee. Further disruption is non-productive.

It's his time.

That is my opinion. You might not share it.
