1. Damned if she does, damned if she does the other thing

If she drops out and endorses Sanders, some of her supporters will be understandably disappointed because of the way she's been treated by Sanders and his supporters. I expect that she will anyway.

If she drops out and endorses Biden, some Sanders supporters will attack her relentlessly and call her a sellout. Oh, wait, they're doing that already. I think her supporters would be split on the decision, though I'm not sure which way they'd lean. On DU, it seems that they'd prefer that she endorse Biden, but I don't have data to back that up.

She could drop out and not endorse, but I don't see that happening.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I think she will remain neutral until it is decided. nt DURHAM D Mar 2020 #2

I agree... As much as I'd like to see her back Biden, I think she'd be wise to stay neutral hlthe2b Mar 2020 #14

If she suspends, I'd like to see her endorse Biden. Hermit-The-Prog Mar 2020 #18

That would be the least damaging to her politically. Blue_true Mar 2020 #16
