Bernie Sanders looks to press on to the convention

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Bernie Sanders’ campaign chief is vowing his candidate will stay in the Democratic race until the summer convention, even as Hillary Clinton looks to lock down her commanding position for the party’s nomination with a strong performance in a five-state round of contests Tuesday.

Clinton has the chance of a clean sweep or at least multiple victories Tuesday that would probably foreclose Sanders’ already narrow path to the nomination. But the Vermont senator’s campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said the millions of dollars flowing to Sanders and the boisterous rallies show that his “supporters will stand with us all the way to the end.”

Asked whether he expects a contested national Democratic convention, Weaver told reporters in Connecticut, “Absolutely, 100 percent.” Weaver said, “This is a powerful movement he’s built and we’re going to take it to the convention.” (Besides I'm making big bucks as Bernie Sanders' campaign manager)

Why stop now? It's not like the future of the country is at stake or something, you know?

I look forward to the day we don't see him on TV anymore...or hear about him...or read about him. For that reason alone, I can't wait until BS drops out (not that there aren't a hundred other reasons).
