1. The Wisconsin primary would be happening even if he dropped out

And it's actually better if he doesn't, because there's a competitive judicial race going on, and as it is the fact that Fox News viewers are more likely to disregard warnings and go out to vote hurts us. I think most Wisconsin Democrats want Bernie to be in the race for that primary to bring out potentially more people for an important state supreme court race.

2. His staying in is great for turnout the rest of th primary, and keeps people engaged throughout the

rest of the process, especially in turnout for many of the special elections that will be happening.

5. Special elections have nothing to do with primaries...his staying in only helps Trump...

So please...putting a Biden Icon on your post doesn't change that Sanders should not stay in .

6. we've already won several special elections that were held on the same day as the primary

The turnout was an unintended consequence of the primary.

10. We need to defeat Trump and those elections could have been

Won regardless. Everyday Sanders remains hurts our efforts.

11. contested primaries increase voter turnout by sparking more interests in every other election.

This is how we defeat Trump, county by county, seat by seat, engaging our voters in the big races and the small ones.

4. He needs to go.

3. If Bernie drops out, we won't need to hold any more primaries at all.

That will do more to help the health of voters than anything. Bernie acts like he cares about the health of voters, but does he really?

[question everything]

7. Yes, I would like him to drop out but... the voters in late primaries states

have enjoyed campaigns that lasted long - in 2008 and in 2016 - and felt that their votes counted.

Since I have already voted I cannot tell the voters in NJ, for example, or even in NY, that they should just accept the results of the early states.

I suppose it all comes to money. States are losing revenues so I can see that they would welcome the cancellation of the primaries..

8. Republicans were just fine with all of the states that are not holding Republican primaries...

because Trump is President. If Bernie drops out, it isn't that some people's vote won't count. It is just that their vote won't change anything.

9. The ballots have a lot of local issues and offices on them.

There would still need to be voting. But if Senator Sanders drops out, Biden can turn his attention and resources fully on Trump.

12. Would he have encouraged polls to go ahead

if he were leading Biden in the polls?

Inquiring minds would want to know
