In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders will still be the Democratic Nominee [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)edit to add I do agree it is now very long odds for Sanders and the statement by the Sanders campaign is probably more out of a sense of obligation to their cause and to their supporters than it is about them being likely to win the nomination.
There are a lot of scandals swirling around the Clintons, if one of them blows up that could definitely change things, and is reason enough for Bernie to stay in the race and keep reaching his voters.
Another reason is to allow people in other states to vote for him. I am in California and have been looking forward to voting for him more than I've ever looked forward to a vote. I would like to have that vote, thank you.
Finally, the Sanders campaign is not only about Bernie being POTUS, the larger purpose is to bring about the changes we need to survive as a species and to have decent living conditions rather than a dystopian corporate future that destroys our environment and our souls.
