Sanders denies senior advisor suggestion that He'll "reevaluate" campaign after Tuesday primaries.

Sanders reassured on Sunday that, despite speculation about the viability of his campaign, he is planning on continuing his candidacy through the last primaries in early June.

"There's not a question whether if we are going to continue -- we are going to continue," he said. "We're going to fight this out until the last vote is cast. That's what democracy is about."

As for the suggestion from senior adviser Tad Devine that the Sanders campaign will need to "reevaluate" things after Tuesday's primaries in five states, Sanders said he doesn't know what that comment meant.

"I have not the slightest idea," he said. "You have to ask Tad."

He's not nearly as horrible as several people associated with Camp Weathervane...but he has been a big mistake for the Sanders campaign.

Here's the quote:

"If we think we've made enough progress, then we'll keep on the path that we're on," Devine said in an interview published Saturday. "If we think we have to, you know, take a different way or re-evaluate, you know, we'll do it then."

But, Devine added, "right now, we think the best path beyond is the one we laid out months ago."

It could have simply meant re-evaluate their campaign strategy, not re-evaluate whether to keep running. People are reading more into it than he actually said.
