... he led Clinton 985-975 in pledged delegates. Sanders, by contrast, trails by 227... sort of a different context.

He as always closer to her...a tie almost...and the delegate math Gods were on his side...just as they are on Hillary's today. Bernie has no path. He can only hurt Democrats by electing a GOP...do you want to five court picks for the GOP (keep in mind Ginsberg was a Clinton pick). Do you want to see sodomy made illegal again so our gay friends can be jailed because they love someone the Christian sharia disapproves of...do you want to see health care gone, food stamps gone, Social Security and Medicare vouchered out of existence? How about poor kids going hungry ...is that your "bag". Maybe women should be forced to carry dead fetuses nationwide instead of just in Kansas, Georgia, Texas ....and other red states. If the GOP wins the presidency...they have all branches of government and justices serve for life. There are more important things than your hurt feelings because your guy lost. He needs to suspend and help stop the GOP. If he has as much integrity as you and others think, he will.
