The Struggle Continues “We will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate.”

He said he would campaign in next Tuesday’s final primary in Washington, D.C., the last contest in the nationwide series of primaries and caucuses that began last winter in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“Then we are going to take the fight for social, economic and racial justice to Philadelphia,” he told the 3,300 people packed inside an airplane hangar. “We will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate.”

The late-night crowd was dominated by young people who have been a major key to the success of Sanders’ campaign. “I am enormously optimistic about the future of our country when so many young people have come on board and understand that our vision of social justice, economic justice, racial justice and environmental justice must be the future of America,” the senator from Vermont told the rally.

He spoke about the upcoming general election and defeating Donald Trump. “Our campaign from day one has understand that we will not allow right-wing Republicans to control our government. And that is especially true with Donald Trump as the Republican candidate,” Sanders said. “The American people in my view will never support a candidate whose major theme is bigotry who insults Mexicans, who insults Muslims and women and African Americans. We will not allow Donald Trump to become president of the United States.”

2. His struggle is with reality--even his own people are quickly throwing him under the bus.

Not his finest hour.

Hopefully, Barack Obama can talk some sense into him. If not, maybe Tom Harkin can. Someone needs to, that's for sure.

3. No worries. I am sure Bernie will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.

So there's 1 vote from Bernie's camp.

4. Well, she is the presumptive nominee, so that box is pretty much checked.

I think many of his staff are now trying to distance themselves from the decisions that the Sanders campaign made--they're putting all of the decision making "blame" on him.

No wonder--they'll never work again if they own much of that "strategery" (to quote a former Selected - Not - Elected POTUS).

6. mad- I'm sure your right. He has known that the banker, arms dealers, oil barons will not have

to blink one bit…. life will go on for them as it always has. For those who need a voice to make sense out of why they pay for unemployment insurance that they never get to use, and have to watch their kids go without so those with more get to have more. That reality is what he will pass on to those of us who care.

5. "includes ending wealth and income inequality and junking the corrupt campaign finance system"

“Our mission is more than just defeating Trump it is transforming our country,” Sanders said. That mission includes ending wealth and income inequality and junking the corrupt campaign finance system that props up a rigged economy. “Democracy is not about billionaires buying elections.” He said it includes reforming the criminal justice system, breaking up big bans, providing health care as a right to all citizens, reforming our broken immigration system and making the billionaires and profitable corporations pay their fair share in taxes."
