Even if he's not dropping, it's a huge deal to cancel all Facebook ads. bearsfootball516 Mar 2020 #5

I really do not like Bernie if this is true and he is staying in and putting peoples lives at risk all for his EGO! 😡

I really thought he was finally going to do the right thing. Hope he still will but this is ridiculous if he is staying in!

It's a clear sign that the campaign is running out of money and they're desperately trying to stay alive.

Suspending the Facebook ads is a pretty clear sign that he's ending the campaign. Why do it otherwise?

I did say in another thread that it might be a trial balloon to see how people reacted, and judging by the near-universal acclaim everywhere online, I'd say the reaction is pretty clear.

I expect him to drop out soon.
