1. Holy cow! I missed joe passing 1991.

[honest.abe]

4. I dont think passing 1991 will matter either.

Sanders just said we voted wrong.

[Demsrule86]

6. The math is the math. Sanders has to go...no debate would be a good start...no point with Corona

virus and all.

[LanternWaste]

7. I miss stuff too.

I miss people pretending "we would completely not talk economy or climate change or racial inequality if not for Bernie"

Good times. Good times.

11. i missed that as well, did it happen last night?

2. Hey.. I completely trust Clyburn. sanders has no path why allow it to go on when there's a GE to win

[leftieNanner]

5. I agree with you

But the Bernie supporters would HOWL about the "establishment" tossing him out and they would go out of their way to trash Biden in the GE. I hope Bernie will bow out gracefully after next Tuesday. I personally would like it if we could focus on the November election right now, but I think this is a tiny bit premature. Correct me if I'm wrong.

9. OK I correct you...this builds up a false belief in his supporters that he could still win...

And in the end will hurt us worse...he needs to go now. The first step is to cancel the debate...no sense in risking Biden or Sanders to Corona Virus. There is no need for a debate...too many already.

[leftieNanner]

16. Good point

But it needs to come from Bernie.

Conspiracy theory question: Could there be kompromat pressure on Bernie to stay in?

[samir.g]

3. Do it!

Let's get this show on the road!

[TwilightZone]

8. He's correct. The race is clearly over.

Sanders is only forecast to win a couple of states the entire rest of the campaign.

At this point, he's in the race for reasons only related to himself and his movement. It's not about winning. I'm not sure it ever was.

10. I don't like it

It would feel like what the GOP did for Trump

[Demsrule86]

12. Bullshit...Sanders has no path..but what should happen is the debate is cancelled due to the

pandemic and then Sanders loses hugely next Tuesday and he drops out...if he doesn't primary him in 24. He gort 51 % of vote in Vermont.

[Blasphemer]

13. I agree. It's disappointing that Bernie is staying in, but we have to let it play out.

Joe will get to 1991 regardless. Let the voters "shut it down" - the party shouldn't be deciding that.

14. This is a bad idea.

I live in California. For as long as I can remember, I always felt I had very little say in choosing our candidate. More times than not, my favorite candidate suspended their campaign before I ever got a chance to vote.

This year California finally counted.

I cannot say how despondent and disenfranchised I would feel if the primary were cancelled before I even had a chance to vote.

Let the process play out. Let the votes and voters speak for themselves. Joe will likely come out a much stronger candidate if the nation sees him winning the delegates to get the nomination. There is every indication things are headed in that direction.

The majority of delegates have not even been awarded yet.

The outcome may be inevitable, but in the minds of the people, especially those who have not yet voted, this is major disenfranchisement.

[tavernier]

15. I certainly see your point

But there are states that won’t vote until May and June, and if the BS campaign continues negative ads and speech till then, it will just be a disruption.

We have our candidate per majority, and we can ALL vote for him on the same day in November.
