That's all I could think of when the 'Birdie Sanders' junk was all the rage.

---- NOBODY says he has a CLEARER path, all we say is that it's not over and let the process play out.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you feel your candidate has more "enthusiastic" supporters, even though your candidate has 3+ million fewer votes.
----- Sanders DOES have more "enthusiastic" supporters, but most of them are prevented from voting in the Democratic primaries because they are closed primaries.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you think closed primaries are undemocratic and that caucuses are democratic.
------ Neither are undemocratic. But to lock the progressives out of the primaries and then turn around and tell us we need to support the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is (even though we didn't get a voice in electing them) is disingenuous.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you feel your opponent is the "weaker" candidate, even though you can't beat her in the primaries.
------- HRC is weaker against Trump in the GE polls than Sanders is. Facts are facts.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you tout every single poll that shows your candidate ahead, but don't believe any of the polls showing your opponent ahead, because Michigan and Indiana!
-------- These remain to be seen.

You might be #Bern'dOut if think the time spent waiting in line at a Bernie Rally entitles you to any more votes in the primary than those of us who who didn't go.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you think all the hate spewed at Hillary on DU caused any Hillary supporters to switch their support from Hillary to Bernie.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you think you will see Bernie's Revolution before Bernie sees his maker.
You might be #Bern'dOut if you agree with Bernie's Mathematics that no matter how many contributions you receive, and how much they total, it still averages out to $27 per donor.
