Hardly makes a dent, like a fly hitting an SUV.

This makes me even more thankful he’s still in. The primary still has 50 states to go. Anything can happen.

he would have no choice but to get out...he lost...no way he can get enough delegates...he will lose every primary that is left by double digits according to all pollsters. We need to move on as fund raising will be hard, but we can't move forward with Sanders blocking the door...he needs to concede. That is the truth.

Now is more important for Sanders to continue or to beat Trump because in this crazy year with Corona, you won't get both? I don't care about Sander or even his followers anymore...I just want to beat Trump. Sanders supporters have lost their perspective. Sanders will not be the nominee but he can destroy Joe Biden's chances by hanging on. If he has any love of country or believes his own shtick, he needs to get out now.

Wikipedia has 27% for Biden, but that's an old number.

I wasn't able to join the online announcement, so am just reporting based on Politico and Vox:

and hammering out legislation that is palatable to all.

Don't lump Bernie with her - she is actually working hard and not enjoying a vacation on a farm in New England.

You're just another Establishment hack ignoring the will of the American people in Samoa and Panama and Costa Rica and Thailand and Singapore. You'll rue the day you gleefully discounted all those crucial swing countries.

Most expats are ultra-left and basically don't care about what happens to the homeland all that much since they have made a home somewhere else already.
