It will be amazing RobertEarl Jun 2016 #58

We'll see.... LenaBaby61 Jun 2016 #2

he's laying off staff, he's meeting with her, plus he is going to face a huge loss in DC La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #3

I hope so ismnotwasm Jun 2016 #4

Its within the realm of possiblity workinclasszero Jun 2016 #17

That also seems likely to me. MineralMan Jun 2016 #5

I expect Sanders to suspend either this week or next week. NT Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #6

Yeah. Soon La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #15

Bernie said he would not run as independent Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #7

Once again, Hillary supporters completely miss the point Beowulf Jun 2016 #8

I didn't miss a point, I'm just making a different point La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #13

"Bernie's campaign was always about more than the nomination" is absurd excuse-making Tarc Jun 2016 #20

I'm sure it seems absurd in Hillaryland Beowulf Jun 2016 #27

You were never taught how to lose gracefully, it seems. Tarc Jun 2016 #30

So many stories you need to tell yourself Beowulf Jun 2016 #33

These are realities Tarc Jun 2016 #36

Which is why at this point, I'm here like "catch me with the Greens." VulgarPoet Jun 2016 #41

Interesting isn't the word I'd use Lazy Daisy Jun 2016 #44

Bingo! floriduck Jun 2016 #35

He loses any leverage if he fights at the convention. joshcryer Jun 2016 #45

Actually, not suspending and endorsing decreases your leverage frazzled Jun 2016 #46

It is so obvious, and yet so many don't see it. pangaia Jun 2016 #53

Agreed. Most of what's going on now is just political theater. I think everyone involved knows TwilightZone Jun 2016 #9

It would not make sense to do it in less than 48 hours Melissa G Jun 2016 #11

From the OP: "48 hrs after DC is called" TwilightZone Jun 2016 #18

Thanks. Okay, I read too fast. Still would not hold my breath Melissa G Jun 2016 #19

If he was going to do that he would have done it last week KingFlorez Jun 2016 #12

I can understand waiting until DC is over. He can tell his supporters that he was in it until all TwilightZone Jun 2016 #14

I can understand waiting till all voting is over La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #16

He is waiting for DC to finish Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #26

Totally agree. DCBob Jun 2016 #21

Yup. and a call to defeat trump La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #23

I do not believe Bernie will suspend his campaign before the Convention. Raster Jun 2016 #22

Agreed!! Silver_Witch Jun 2016 #28

I hope you're right...it's just that unity has never been Sanders' thing. nt eastwestdem Jun 2016 #24

Thursday message going out...Bernie is doing it then. nt Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #25

There's nothing wrong with representing your people and your point of view for as long as it is highprincipleswork Jun 2016 #29

I am incredibly chill. Also just for the record I think going to the convention La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #31

That's only your label. Doesn't mean he is one or will conduct himself as one. highprincipleswork Jun 2016 #59

I'm sitting here in amazement that he's piggy-backing his campaign speech cwydro Jun 2016 #32

Possible course pat_k Jun 2016 #38

Gave you a rec for optimism sake. robbedvoter Jun 2016 #39

he won't suspend as long as he has demands he's going to make geek tragedy Jun 2016 #43

I think the meeting tonight is to provide an off ramp and help him save "some" face. Lil Missy Jun 2016 #60

It is unfortunate that he let it go this long. I think the last month has hurt his image quite a bit AgadorSparticus Jun 2016 #62

Bernie has been issuing calls for unity all along. Unity to progressive causes. That won't change. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #63
