He has to decide what his legacy will be.

I think he goes hard--but clean--for the 4/26 states.

And then just runs out the clock.

And behaves himself in the coming week. He needs to win 3/5 next Tuesday, and it is not going to happen. Maryland will kill him, PA will not help enough even if he wins.

HRC and her supporters are pushing the panic eject button with some impressive ferocity tonight!

Let every state vote and then go into the convention and see who's strongest shall we?

It's hilarious all these OPs and replies concerning Bernie needs to 'stop', 'end', 'bailout', 'halt', etc... after this latest primary result

so I have to contemplate the 'why'... and the only reason that comes to mind is the desperation HRC and her supporters have as it concerns letting the rest of the states vote in this primary and have this go to convention without a required delegate count, sans SDs that is..., and then the real 'math' will occur... as it stands now, neither candidate will reach the required count

So to your reply about 'satire' yes, this is quite comical to see all that's going on within DU from HRC supporters

about Bernie and Bernie hasn't said anything as bad as she has. She is corrupt and a liar and in trouble for emails, and she and the Panama Papers are looking pretty connected. Her stuff is far more problematic than anything Bernie has said or done.

How is it whenever Sanders loses a state that his supporters think that Clinton is in more trouble?

... is the fact that there is no challenge - and hasn't been since SuperTuesday.

Bernie has been politically dead-in-the-water for weeks. But as long as the money keeps coming in, he's gonna keep milkin' the cash cow til its dry.

Hillary needs to pivot to the general and start using resources in the quest to challenge voter suppression laws in key states.
