Not dropping out and endorsing Hillary. They just can't understand how Bernie doesn't see the "math" and how ridiculous his take it to the convention approach sounds. How the hell does he expect to win superdelegates, when the whole party has sided with Hillary.
I untrained observer can give you the logical answer in a split second. If anything Bernie is doing the most logical thing, but the media is totally out to lunch. POSSIBLITY OF INDICTMENT! No one knows what the FBI is going to conclude in their investigation. Even if it's low probability, it certainly is greater than the odds Bernie was going to beat Hillary in the primaries when Sanders entered the race. In other words, odds of Sanders winning the primary is greater now than when he entered the race.
So are the media stupid or complacent? Sanders is doing the most logical thing and although he will never say it outright (waiting for indictment), all his actions are that he is staying in the race to basically hold his position at the front of the line for this possibility.

(1,446 posts)the Democratic Party would never let Bernie have the nomination. If something were to happen to Hillary, her delegates would be free to vote for whomever they want. The DNC would simply nominate an establishment candidate, who would get the support of all of the delegates plus the super delegates.

(9,841 posts)everyone knows they are in the tank for Hillary. The chances of indictment are much greater than they would care to admit.
If she is indicted, all the delegate "math" goes out the window.
