In reply to the discussion: Democracy is OK if the votes go MY WAY. [View all]MineralMan
(151,287 posts)suggested that they shouldn't. In the next three weeks, every primary, including the DC one on June 14, will be over. Everyone will have voted. When that time has passed, Hillary Clinton will have the majority of pledged delegates. That much is certain. So, I have complete confidence in that.
What Bernie Sanders does is up to him. I suggest, and have suggested, that he take a close look at the situation and do the thing that will help elect a Democrat as President. He knows what that thing is, even today. The remaining primaries are not going to alter that situation.
Finally, predictions about the General Election are premature. At this point, it's impossible to say how that will turn out, and polling is irrelevant, since the GE campaign is going to change poll results as people see what the campaign brings. The convention should not even consider that. They should nominate the person who has won the primary race, as measured by the pledged delegate count. Period.
