Full scorched earth or graceful exit?

This discussion thread was locked by hootinholler (a host of the Bernie Sanders group).

That has to be the discussion with Weaver, Devine, Jane, and Bernie.
New Yprk polls have Hillary anywhere from 11-16 points ahead.
That kind of win for her would end Bernies momentum and any chance to change the minds of any super delegates.
So, does Bernie go aftrr her with both barrels at the debate or not?

Concern trolling is a lost art after all.

Would it be an opinion not shared by those concerned by the concern troller? LOL

It posits since Hillary is so far ahead in NY polls, Bernie is finished and has to decide how to end his campaign. The OP is "concerned" about how Bernie will respond to his, according to the OP, certain loss.

I would be more interested in a post asking how Hillary will bow out.

But I am a natural worrier and I am getting very worried that if Hillary wins NY by double digits that the media will declare the whole thing over.
I hate that it's a closed primary.
I hate that, according to the internals on these polls, that Bernie is still struggling with AAs and Latinos and seniors.
I keep hoping that will change.

Anyway, I hope Bernie does take the gloves completely off on Thursday.
Go after her on trade, Iraq War, Wall stree stranscrpits, everything.
Maybe she will get angry.
That's when she is at her worst.

Clinton's campaign is in full smear mode. Their internals must be telling them something that the other polls are not.

Don't forget that there is still PA, with a couple of hundred delegates, and in June is California with a plethora of candidates.

Onward and upward for Bernie. He shall win the nomination!
