SANDERS VOWS TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR NOMINATION EVEN IF HILLARY IS ELECTED PRESIDENT

SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—Upping the ante in his quest for the White House, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders vowed on Tuesday night to continue battling for the Democratic Presidential nomination even if Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States.

“If, on November 8th of this year, Hillary Clinton is elected President, we will have only begun to fight,” Sanders told a packed rally in San Francisco.

Sanders acknowledged that continuing to fight for the nomination after Clinton is elected President would represent a “steep challenge,” but added, “When we started this race we were only at three per cent in the polls. Anything is possible.”

Any hopes that Sanders would soon abandon his Presidential run in the interest of Democratic Party unity were dashed in his defiant closing remarks. “Just because someone stands up there on Inauguration Day with her hand in the air and is sworn in as President, that does not mean it is over,” he said, to a standing ovation.

His utter lack of class last night during that speech, and that of his supporters, is a prime example why Bernie will become ignored. Sore loser.

12. This does highlight one of the longterm problems with delaying too much.

If it goes on too long, it will turn Sanders legacy into how he handled defeat, and the rest will be overshadowed.
