Jane Sanders predicts epic Bernie comebackBy NICK GASS 04/28/16 08:12 AM EDT
Bernie Sanders may be down, but he is certainly not out of the race, Jane Sanders said Thursday, predicting that her husband would win a slew of victories going forward into May and beyond that will keep him competitive leading up to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
The comments come a day after the Sanders campaign began laying off hundreds of campaign workers in states that voted Tuesday rather than having them stay on for future contests. Sanders' campaign dismissed the notion that the layoffs represent a posture of weakness, with campaign spokesman Michael Briggs telling POLITICO on Wednesday that it comes "from a posture of reality."

(30,481 posts)4. It's not all that bad of a comment. I agree it isn't based in reality as far as winning goes.
It is more about a cash grab. Sanders wants to have a solid showing in CA. It will help him to have influence on the platform at the convention. Jane and others are going to have to be a wee bit dishonest/deceptive like this in order to keep the cash coming in the door for the rest of the states.

I don't get the problem here.

If your goal is to try to alienate Sanders supporters and convince as many as possible to just stay home, then you are doing the right thing. But if that is your goal then you would appear to be interested in electing republicans.
