Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Is in Trouble [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)have to drop out because he has a lot of money, no matter how poorly he does, and can hang in until no one's listening any more.
We should expect from grim experience that he will use that money to agitate against the left. It's hard to understand how he can see little difference between Democrats and Republicans, or why, that being the case, the left gets almost all his special brand of attention. But that's Sanders.
BUT, one the plus side, he might be sidelined at the convention and thus get relatively little press attention. Every primary he doesn't get 15% in means 0 delegates. If he doesn't accumulate and bring 300 delegates so they can put his name in nomination, certainly no one else will. He'll mostly just be there as one in a crowd of superdelegates.
Goals to strive for.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
