1. It would be absolutely undemocratic if he dropped out before

his opponent has the requisite number of pledged delegates -- which she won't have by the convention.

[Samantha]

2. Perfect response (eom)

[Garrett78]

3. Then there have been many, many "undemocratic" candidates this year and every other year.

Because there are always candidates who drop out well before the convention.

[Surya Gayatri]

4. Democracy is so dear to the Bern's heart that he now wants

the Super Delegates (that he called "undemocratic" earlier) to overturn the will of Dem voters (3,000,000 vote majority) and hand the nom to his august self.

Bwaaahaaaaaaa! Like he knows democracy from his tush.

5. He's said a lot of stupid shit lately. n/t

13. Like with a cloth?

[beachbum bob]

6. big difference between dropping out and being classy in accepting your DEFEAT....

sanders is either an egomaniac or lacks class or both

[Renew Deal]

7. Was it undemocratic when O'Malley dropped out?

[Garrett78]

12. Or the dozens and dozens of others through the years from either party.

Every 4 years, there are candidates who drop out prior to the convention.

I'm not saying Sanders needs to drop out right now. But it's silly to suggest that doing so is somehow "undemocratic."

8. Bernie Sanders

is Democracy...or not.

[MisterP]

9. Clinton campaign: "we know, that's why we're asking"

[Orsino]

10. In a way.

He has committed to run in every primary. Whatever else it would accomplush, dropping out early would certainly deprive late-voting state of the chance to be heard.
