4. Since CA doesn't close until 11 in the East...

Jun 2016

and we won't have a call until early in the morning, I don't see it happening. Bernie will wait until he can give a speech the whole country will be watching. Doing it in the middle of the night in the major news market would be trying to bury it.

Prediction: Bernie concedes tonight [View all] morningfog Jun 2016 OP

I don't think he was well-prepared to counter the Clinton campaigns lies and distortions. Vattel Jun 2016 #1

Agreed. morningfog Jun 2016 #3

A successful candidate (and President) would have been prepared for anything. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #7

I agree, he should have been prepared Vattel Jun 2016 #10

it's not his style. His message about policies was his campaign, which is why we loved him Fast Walker 52 Jun 2016 #14

I see you rpoint, but being able to counteract Clinton's sleaziness wouldn't have required Vattel Jun 2016 #21

True, but a President's job is also to run things nt anigbrowl Jun 2016 #72

yep, and in that sense, he wasn't quite ready for the job Fast Walker 52 Jun 2016 #73

A successful candidate wouldn't have done something as stupid as... tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #24

Yet, Clinton was prepared for his campaigns lies and distortions. grossproffit Jun 2016 #12

Biggest lie of 2016 Dem primary: Bernie Sanders, "We want to run a positive campaign..." BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #18

Try again. She barely acknowledged his existence in the campaign except in debates. LonePirate Jun 2016 #52

She won for a lot of reasons. She and her campaign and her surrogates and supporters Vattel Jun 2016 #76

He's an honest man, and likely didn't imagine the nastiness. Duval Jun 2016 #54

could you share some of the lies and distortions for us? nt msongs Jun 2016 #67

I could, but if you aren't aware of any by now, then you are beyond reach. Vattel Jun 2016 #75

Nope NWCorona Jun 2016 #2

Since CA doesn't close until 11 in the East... CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #4

No, I don't think he will tonight. He will eventually WI_DEM Jun 2016 #5

There is a good chance his clout will begin to deminish after this evening. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #6

In case you didn't notice, calguy Jun 2016 #41

I strongly disagree with that. nt. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #49

I think he'll wait a day or two, tonight will be about thanking his supporters geek tragedy Jun 2016 #8

I think this is right... Democrats Ascendant Jun 2016 #42

No way dana_b Jun 2016 #9

The voting will end tonight. And HIllary will have secured a majority of the pledged delegates morningfog Jun 2016 #13

Undemocratic?! Are you SERIOUSLY trying to make that case?? dana_b Jun 2016 #33

You think that super delegates having any say is democratic? Really? morningfog Jun 2016 #59

I do. Puglover Jun 2016 #77

This... one_voice Jun 2016 #35

I hope he runs third party. Between Reagan Dems defecting to the Trumpenfuhrer and his 45% KingCharlemagne Jun 2016 #84

I would echo that... continuing after tonight (unless it is HUGE night for him) Fast Walker 52 Jun 2016 #11

Not tonight... Txbluedog Jun 2016 #15

I think Hillary would need to win hands down in California... cynatnite Jun 2016 #16

I think it will be tomorrow in Vermont. DCBob Jun 2016 #17

Most people do go home to make these announcements. Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #69

My hope as well peggysue2 Jun 2016 #19

OK then calguy Jun 2016 #44

Bernie shall not concede until Philly! RoccoR5955 Jun 2016 #20

Sure he will Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #57

I wouldnt hold my breath laserhaas Jun 2016 #22

I think Bernie must stay in the race until the convention votes; k8conant Jun 2016 #25

Man are you ever out of touch. What utter nonsense. Are you visiting Disney World? pdsimdars Jun 2016 #26

Jesus, morningfog. Talk about lack of faith. desmiller Jun 2016 #27

drank the kool-aid, they did. Hiraeth Jun 2016 #29

There will be no rousing speeches by Bernie in favor of Hillary LibDemAlways Jun 2016 #30

He will then expose himself for what he is, all for Bernie or not at all. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #32

I think you haven't been paying attention. It is rateyes Jun 2016 #31

this person is in denial and thinks dana_b Jun 2016 #37

Welcome to my Forever Ignored Club for not knowing a thing about Bernie. nt valerief Jun 2016 #34

+1 dana_b Jun 2016 #38

I fear that my ignored list is about to crash the site. LibDemAlways Jun 2016 #40

Mine must be over 500 now. I haven't counted recently. I think a lot of us valerief Jun 2016 #43

c. 325 here Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #51

Sanders supporters now attacking each other. JoePhilly Jun 2016 #45

Really? valerief Jun 2016 #47

I know that this may come as a shock, but some people actually appreciate *both* of our candidates. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #58

Yes. Really. I guess you don't do nuance and critical thought. Your problem not mine. morningfog Jun 2016 #60

I think he might too. nt Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #36

Tonight or tomorrow. I'm VERY glad he was in this race. I like a fair number of Maru Kitteh Jun 2016 #39

i sure hope he goes out in a classy manner beachbum bob Jun 2016 #46

I have a prediction too. Jester Messiah Jun 2016 #48

To sum up his reason to stay a declared candidate in three letters: Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #50

There is that. But, his delegates are pledged and he could still be nominated. morningfog Jun 2016 #62

I have no doubt he will energetically campaign for the ticket. The sooner the better. nt arely staircase Jun 2016 #53

Prediction -- sun sets in the east this evening. Fly by night Jun 2016 #55

He's already promised to campaign all the way to Philly. Orsino Jun 2016 #61

I hope you're right marions ghost Jun 2016 #64

Not sure about tonight but he will soon (nt) bigwillq Jun 2016 #63

Not tonight. herding cats Jun 2016 #65

Probably. He'll need time to prepare a powerful convention speech to help Hill unite party voters. ancianita Jun 2016 #66

Exactly, no Hillary supporter needs to wast their time voting today. She already has enough pdsimdars Jun 2016 #68

I agree with absolutely everything you've written here. gollygee Jun 2016 #70

Not a chance... brooklynite Jun 2016 #71

I don't think he can. He pledged to let everyone vote. The earliest he could conceed and still eastwestdem Jun 2016 #74

... warrprayer Jun 2016 #78

Nope tomorrow in Vermont where he started. MyNameGoesHere Jun 2016 #79

not a snowball's chance. nt restorefreedom Jun 2016 #80

If he doesn't...proves beyond shadow of doubt the man has no class beachbumbob Jun 2016 #81

So I guess Hillary has no class either democrattotheend Jun 2016 #83

If so, he'd be a lot more gracious than Hillary democrattotheend Jun 2016 #82

You are correct, tonight or tomorrow. Kudos to Sanders for pushing the issues further FSogol Jun 2016 #85

So much for that CreekDog Jun 2016 #86
