This allows our nominee to go after Trump 24/7 and look Presidential in a way Trump cannot. We can't afford this continued bashing of democrats and our nominee until the convention.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

if he stays in until it’s mathematically impossible for him to win. He’s earned that, I think. But when that time comes, he needs to drop out and endorse Biden with his full support.

... and even in states where he's expected to win, with margins like 0.5%... that's not the kind of win he needs.

WOW! He's going to get further and further and further behind while the voters run-up-the-score against him.



Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

voters vote for the Democrat in the race. We are allowed. It is not cheating. It is not in the hands of Sanders derogatory "establishment". It is the Democratic voters voting in the Democratic primary for a Democrat.

So today will be his most friendly election day left. He might have to wait until the 28th April to barely squak out another win while Biden is expected to have clear majority blowouts and not some 25-30% wins that were previously used to push the narrative of a frontrunner.

Of course, if he surprises tomorrow, maybe the outlook improves. But all signs point to a weakening campaign, not a strengthening one.

Sanders needs blowout wins in WA and MI to keep the race going— otherwise he’s just another Tulsi, going along for the ride
