Related: About this forumBernie Sanders Has Trickier, Narrower Road in Democratic Race
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/21/us/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign.html?_r=0Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont grappled with tough and narrowing choices about campaign strategy and fund-raising on Wednesday after his crushing loss in the New York primary and with a series of difficult contests ahead.
While Hillary Clintons campaign carefully avoided any suggestion that he quit the Democratic presidential race, many of her prominent supporters argued that the moment had come for Mr. Sanders to ease off attacks for the good of Democrats in the November election.
Given Mrs. Clintons lead, several of her allies contended that he should shift his focus from criticizing Mrs. Clinton to championing Democratic policies that might help the party beat Donald J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas or another Republican nominee, and also win back control of the House and the Senate.
There does come a point when Democrats, and those who believe we cant afford a Trump or Cruz presidency, should recognize that we need to start thinking about whats best for the presumptive nominee going forward, said Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware, a Clinton supporter whose state holds its primary on Tuesday. The good news is that Bernie Sanders will remain in the Senate, where he can continue to speak out and continue to inspire new people into the process.

They can't seem to understand the concept of the chances of pulling this thing out are insurmountable.
But then, they are still raking in a lot of $27 donations.
