Group where most want Bernie to drop out?



Loads of commentators have recently argued that Bernie Sanders needs to drop out of the presidential primary for the good of the Democratic Party, to help Hillary Clinton, or to teach his followers a valuable lesson of political engagement.

The voters themselves, however, don't seem to care much if Sanders stays in.

Only 36 percent of Americans think Sanders should throw in the towel — compared with 48 percent who want him to keep fighting, according to a new poll conducted by Vox and Morning Consult.

Especially depending on Wiki leaks supposedly coming out. I find it hard to believe that a majority of the voters in America want someone so tainted, secret, paranoid, misleading the President, prodding her "opinions" on him, just setting up her own administration on the side. At least with Nixon, he had already been voted in.

It's a Long Time until November.

as an over 65 white female democrat with college + some who once earned over 100k, I should be the one, yet it is my sister, who is all that I am except she never made over 60K. go figure.

of pledged delegates for a clinch. What bothers me is the superdelegates overturning the will of the people for Hillary's benifit. (Indiana per one example) voted for Bernie, but every superdelegate from Indiana is voting for Hillary.
