Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Should Bernie end his campaign if he loses Michigan? [View all]TomCADem
(17,382 posts)From the get-go, his campaign has pushed out this idea that Warren should drop out because there is no path to the nomination for her. Indeed, Trump has jumped on this Bernie talking point in blaming Warren for causing Bernie to fall behind when the truth is that Biden was hurt far more by the presence of so many other moderate and left of center candidates.
Yet, even if Bernie were to fall helplessly behind, watch him disregard his own campaign's prior rhetoric and insist on the need to continue the fight until the convention regardless of the math. Also, remember all that rhetoric about the nominee should be the person with a plurality? Well, watch Bernie and his campaign change their tune, because you cannot trust Bernie anymore than you can trust his promises to provide his medical records.
It is not a question about electability. It is about fitness for office. In the end, if Bernie can't be the nominee, then he and his campaign will work to sabotage the Democratic party's chances given that Bernie's campaign is built on attacking the Democratic party.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
