Related: About this forumBill Clinton says Bernie Sanders has a ‘right to stay in’ the Democratic primaryl
https://www.yahoo.com/politics/bill-clinton-says-bernie-sanders-has-a-right-to-190802686.htmlSome critics argue that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., should bow out of the Democratic presidential primary as his chance of defeating Hillary Clinton becomes increasingly slim. However, Clintons husband, former President Bill Clinton, does not think Sanders needs to give up.
Yahoo News asked Clinton if he wants Sanders to leave the race at a campaign event in New York City on Thursday afternoon. He noted that Sanders has generated substantial support.
We have an election that goes all the way through June, and she believes and I believe that everybody has a right to their own timetable, Bill Clinton said. Hes got a lot of supporters. Hes got a perfect right to stay in if thats what he wants to do and run his race. Its his decision.
The Bernie people came to say that. Were very sorry youre leaving, Clinton said as the protesters were escorted out. As theyre leaving, I want to say I have earned 9 million votes in this election already. I have 1 million more votes than Donald Trump and I have 2.5 million more votes than Bernie Sanders. What I regret is they dont want to listen to anyone else. They dont want to hear the contrasts between my experience, my plans, my vision, what I know I can get done and what my opponent is promising.
Bernie will go sooner or later ......also Bill is super delegate in New York among others

She stayed in until June in 2008 and Bernie has the right to do the same.

What I do mind are his campaign's more recent tactics. If anything, they are succeeding in turning me off to him completely.
