Welcome to DU.

With the Sanders campaign. To quote the Hillary-haters, you could say she was bought and sold.

was neck-and-neck with Senator Obama, so it was natural - and justified - that she stay in until the last primary election. In fact, in the end, she won the popular vote but lost on the delegate-count.

Sanders can't boast an equal justification. He's behind on the popular vote, behind on the pledged-dels, and behind on the super-dels.

There is absolutely NO reason for him to remain in the primary race while attacking Hillary Clinton as opposed to attacking Trump. None. Well...none that should matter if he were still interested in winning the Democratic Party primary - which he isn't since I'm guessing he's staying in just to get as many millions of dollars as possible into his coffers, and for no other reason. I'm certain someone on his campaign knows how to do math and have seen that there's no pathway to the nomination. So staying in only helps Trump. This is unforgivable.

...through June, and the lead flipped back and forth a couple of times.

This year, after the first caucus Clinton was ahead by 2 delegates, after the second state, NH, voted Sanders was ahead by 4 delegates. After that Clinton slowly increased her lead week after week. After Super Tuesday I (March 1), she had a lead of 191 delegates, and it's never been closer.

Right now her lead is 280 delegates.

There is absolutely NO comparison between 2008 and 2016.

Senator Obama kept getting ahead, more and more, but she maintained her lead in the popular vote totals in the end. But popular votes don't count in our primary elections. Delegates do, and Senator Obama won by 312 1/2 total.

As I've explained in my post, Hillary Clinton was justified in staying in until the end. BS is not because he's so far behind in all categories already.
