Furthermore considering Bernie's vigorous schedule and the length of his speeches 45 minutes to an hour, I thought he looked quite vibrant.

However speaking of exhaustion what was up with Biden giving a seven minute speech in St. Louis?

Well Biden was on his way to another rally. Do you have a link to the times that each man spoke in St Louis?

Why did Bernie not make it to Selma? Why did he bow out of his rally in Mississippi after the Mayor (AA) endorse him?

convince all to call on him to drop out and endorse Biden after today. He has zero chance to win. He is not a healthy man. I hope for the good of Bernie himself, and his family, that he does not run for the Senate again. He just had a major heart attack and this campaign drained the life from him. If the Governor of Vermont was not a Rethug, I would strongly urge him to resign from the Senate as well. He has almost no political capital left there and has made far too many enemies to ever be effective again.

He needs to rest up and then go out supporting Biden and convincing his base to vote for Joe and ALL Democrats on the ballot.

He REALLY needs to sack his horridly divisive top staffers (Bri, Nina, Sirota for starters) and FULLY denounce and condemn Cenk, Sarandon, and other hateful elements (who are often old Stein voters who helped to elect the monster that is Trump) within his core group of NON DU supporters.

He has a lot to atone for. He has run a scorched earth, uber-divise shitshow of a campaign so far, and he needs to make amends and do some truly heavy lifting to help repair the damage he has helped to put into motion that has (and will continue to do, if not stopped) truly hurt our Party. The raw naked homophobia from the sewer-dwelling ultra left, ultra radical social media hordes within his core groups in particular ENRAGED me, as young queer woman of colour. He needs to FIX THAT SHIT. The buck stops with him, and no one else.

He also needs to spearhead, cooperate, and enable a thorough investigation into Russian primary manipulation and interference that has been used to aid him and hurt all the other candidates, as they (the Russians), like Trump, knew Bernie would have been crushed in the general and more than likely cost us the House as well.

Again, I wish Bernie the best, and hope he so soon gets the rest he obviously needs.

cheers

He's campaigning his ass off...thought he had it...and suddenly it all fell apart in one week...and now he's staring at blowout numbers left and right. I'd be a little pissed and exhausted too.

Bernie's an okay guy at heart...just hope his anger and fatigue doesn't get the best of him and clouds his vision regarding decisions he's gonna have to make in the not-too-distant future.

the billionaires, whatever that means. Guess it does not behoove him to call all of Democrats that don't support him establishment when asking for their votes. Or Planned Parenthood. Made no sense attacking the very people you wanted a vote from

Now how silly is it for him to come back to us at this late date and say: No.... got me wrong. The establishment I have been griping about are billionaires.

A real wtf.
