a presidential candidate that is showing momentum and is continuing to break all fundraising records needs to quit.

After Primary, Sanders Campaign Breaks Fundraising Record That They Already Set

The Atlantic - March - yes this was written yesterday
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/bernie-sanders-fundraising/471648/

“People develop a deeper investment and appreciation for the campaign when they’re being counted as part of something bigger than themselves.”....Super Tuesday, when voters from states across the country pick winners in the Democratic primary. Ahead of the event, the campaign blew past a goal of raising $40 million.

Not to mention this past week he picked up 3 impressive endorsements -
1. Robert Reich former Labor Secretary of the Clinton Administration.
2. Tulsi Gabbard - #2 at DNC resigned to endorse him.
3. Outspoken Liberal favorite - Alan Grayson (also a superdelegate)

Add that to the large Latino Coalition he has in Arizona led by the Progressive Caucus Chair Raul Grijalva.
The recent endorsements of several leaders in Detroit because of Bernie's - yes Bernie's - involvement in Flint MI (I know, you didn't know about that because the msm doesn't talk about things like that)
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/02/29/bernie-sanders-picks-detroit-endorsements/81105734/
(included in that endorsement is - "The Detroit endorsements, mostly from African-American activists and Detroit leaders," Shocking!!)

Bernie is gaining steam and momentum, picking up yuge endorsements all of the time.
His fundraising is unlimited and breaking all records - ever.

So Please, pretty please, can you let our Representative Democracy work as it was set up to do by our founding fathers & stop demanding, implying that Bernie needs to quit?

1. Neoliberals will be neoliberals, after all! I want to see Bernie there when they

arrest Hillary.

[Beacool]

10. Wow, are you sure that you are on the right board?

That seems to be a sentiment shared by the RW.

This place has gone beyond scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[valerief]

13. You'd rather see NO DEM there when it happens? What, do you want Republicans to win????? nt

[bunnies]

2. Has Hillary released her February numbers yet?

She had all those big $ fundraisers. I'd think she'd be quick to show how well she did.

[jillan]

3. She's waiting to include her fundraising from the NRA before she posts here numbers.

[bunnies]

4. The hypocrisy is deep with that one.

[RoccoR5955]

5. I'm still waiting on her transcripts

and I am not holding my breath.

[bunnies]

6. You and me both. nt

[JaneyVee]

9. $31Million in February. And those...

Big money fundraisers were for downticket races. Ya know, an actual political revolution.

[bunnies]

12. because status quo is SO revolutionary.

[stranger81]

7. Damn straight. The coronation committee

is just going to have to wait.

[JaneyVee]

11. "We live in a representative democracy!"

Cool, then why are progressives demanding that Democratic Congressmen from Arkansas should govern like they represent Seattle instead of their own districts constituents?
