For fuck's sake. No Sanders shouldn't drop out yet. This is a stupid conversation

Edit: I'm a Clinton supporter, one of the more vocal ones in GDP, in case that isn't clear below.

Bernie is down and he has a highly improbable road ahead of him, but the outcome is not truly mathematically decided. And it won't be for a long time yet. He has rabid supporters, a significant bankroll and a favorable stretch the next three weeks. Why the hell would he drop out?

I supported Hillary in 2008, and I supported her well into May of that campaign, and I was pissed--pissed--every time an Obama supporter told me to get over it and change sides. This does nothing to help or convince anyone. Just because my candidate is winning right now didn't mean I've forgotten that.

Just let it go and respect the god damn calendar.

every time they post a thread like that. Take out your anger by supporting our candidate with an added bonus of letting them know that their deceitful posts are helping to support our candidate.

approaching. You and I (and Bernie) know he won't be the nominee. The game is now Hillary vs Trump/Cruz, and that's the only election that matters.

It isn't time to insist Berners follow suit.

while Bernie and his supporters are very energetic, I've yet to see any of them foaming at the mouth, nor have I seen reports of any of them biting

I support Hillary. He's got money and supporters and there are more primaries so it's really up to him. I think in the long run it doesn't do any damage to Hillary.

He has money and popular support. It is unlikely but still not impossible that he can win the nomination. Why would he drop out? I support Clinton, but have no expectation of this happening.

I think most of his supporters will move over to Hillary after he starts losing the Big States. I think it's safer to defuse him. He's a big enough egomaniac to create a whole lot of trouble for the Democratic party at this point. Better to let the air out of him before the convention.
