Bernie Sanders Officially Announces He Will Run for President Forever


By Elliot Hannon



Bernie Sanders campaign burst on the Democratic scene from out of left field and at one point looked like he might Barack Obama Hillary Clinton for the nomination, but on Thursday, the Vermont senator announced he had an announcement to make. It’s been a long campaign, and Hillary Clinton bested him on every conceivable metric—albeit narrowly in some—other than the party-liquefying convention nuclear option to which Sanders doesn’t have the codes anyway. So, on Thursday night, the Vermont senator gathered friends, loved ones, and supporters around the country to huddle around a live video feed to humbly announce: He’s still running for president.

To be fair, Sanders hinted that soon he will be done and his “role” will change in a “very short period of time,” but he notably stopped well short of even remotely ending his campaign or endorsing Hillary Clinton. In addition to his standard stump speech, here’s what Sanders had to say about his future:

The major political task that we face in the next five months is to make certain that Donald Trump is defeated and defeated badly. And I personally intend to begin my role in that process in a very short period of time.

Its a pathetic unfortunate embarrassing end to an amazing campaign.
