40. The convention was too late for unity...and I don't think Sander did as much as he could have

during the general to bring about unity. It is too late to wait for the convention and have our nominee hit from the left and the right...I hope Sanders does the right thing and steps aside as soon as it is clear he won't win the nomination.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

If Joe Biden wins Michigan next week should Bernie Sanders continue his campaign? [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2020 OP

Bernie should have dropped out yesterday. Laelth Mar 2020 #1

Like all candidates ... DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2020 #6

That's my feeling, yes. n/t Laelth Mar 2020 #7

Amen. Hopefully that "someone" will have much better political acumen. Yavin4 Mar 2020 #17

That person will NEED TO BE a team player. Amen. n/t Laelth Mar 2020 #20

At least not insult every ally and then demand loyalty from them. Yavin4 Mar 2020 #21

Yeah. That would help. n/t Laelth Mar 2020 #22

Nah, his delegate count is almost as much as Biden's Polybius Mar 2020 #32

He'll stay in the race until Biden has a majority. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #2

Why bother asking when you know he will? brooklynite Mar 2020 #3

Bernie will stay in until the last second of the convention left-of-center2012 Mar 2020 #4

The thing Bernie is up against is that people just want BusyBeingBest Mar 2020 #5

I think it is going to be by a lot more than that in Florida. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #23

I would say wait till the end of the day next Tuesday, for the results of all 6 states to come in onetexan Mar 2020 #9

If the losses continue to pile up over the next two weeks greenjar_01 Mar 2020 #10

He should continue it upto the convention LostOne4Ever Mar 2020 #11

Couldn't that be said about every candidate greenjar_01 Mar 2020 #12

It could be said about any other candidate LostOne4Ever Mar 2020 #13

Ah greenjar_01 Mar 2020 #16

It is not about the message or he would not be presenting ads with Obama in them...he Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #25

If he cares about this country, he will not bring it to the convention...it will help Trump. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #18

That is your opinion LostOne4Ever Mar 2020 #19

Yes it is my opinion...Sanders should consider his legacy...does he want to be seen as causing chaos Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #24

If he does as he did last time LostOne4Ever Mar 2020 #38

The convention was too late for unity...and I don't think Sander did as much as he could have Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #40

That argument LostOne4Ever Mar 2020 #41

No, but he will LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #15

nothing will get sanders to end early, he is ego driven as they come beachbumbob Mar 2020 #26

Of course he shouldn't. But he will. Squinch Mar 2020 #27

I don't want him to.. Moderateguy Mar 2020 #28

Yes. But I am afraid staying in means continuing to attack Biden through distorting his emmaverybo Mar 2020 #34

Like I said with Sanders' vetting Moderateguy Mar 2020 #36

Well, there's that. emmaverybo Mar 2020 #47

No, but there is no chance he drops out. Happy Hoosier Mar 2020 #30

Depends on whether he wins by a significant KPN Mar 2020 #31

I'd hope Biden would do the same is he loses Michigan jimfields33 Mar 2020 #33

Unless there is cheating or Russian meddling with figures, Bernie will not win Michigan. emmaverybo Mar 2020 #35

He won in 2016 with a strong candidate jimfields33 Mar 2020 #37

He was more of a novelty then. You underestimate Joe.He is absolutely a strong candidate, emmaverybo Mar 2020 #44

Keep reaching.... jimfields33 Mar 2020 #45

Problem is even if he does win Michigan, he is up against a coalition more powerful and broad emmaverybo Mar 2020 #46
