To not be an embarrassment to himself & to save his legacy Senator Sanders

[William769]

needs to drop out now before March 17th.

If he thought last night was bad for him, March 17th will be even worse. Drop out with grace & take your ideas to the convention to help shape the party platform. The longer you drag on the inevitable outcome of this primary & take away from our party focusing on going after trump, the more inconsequential you will be at the convention.

V.P Joe Biden will go to the convention with the 1,991 delegates needed to secure the nomination. The only question now Senator Sanders is how will you be remembered for your actions?

1. Why embarrass himself? Biden is winning, but its not a landslide

Sanders will concede when he feels he has to. Buttigieg and the rest had to drop out because their numbers were so low they had no other recourse, but Sanders is close, not close enough I will admit, but nonetheless close.

Anyway, it is his decision to make.

3. Mar 17 states are not good for Bernie. The results are going to be very lopsided...

Embarassingly so.

4. You are correct it his decision to make.

It's also his decision how he will be remembered.

2. What about Tulsi Gabbard? I hear she's still running...

Just kidding, I know no one gives a shit.

5. Sanders' legacy includes helping elect Trump, a Republican congress,

and Republican governments across the nation, along with defeat of our first woman president, and, so far, two appointments of anti-progressive Supreme Court justices -- forming and weighting a very dangerous conservative majority to the far right. For just a few consequences of his actions. Also being used to devastating effect by Russia in a new kind of warfare against our nation.

Sanders' role in 2016, and that he played it under the label of the Democratic Party, can't be undone. And we will spend decades undoing his legacy. All but the thinnest history books of the Trump era will note it, if some only in footnotes.

And more to come. Sanders has the delegates to get his name in contention, and since it's Sanders contention is the word.

At least his staying in will give Democrats further opportunity to distance and express our rejection and regret about what should never have happened.
