Will grumbling Bernie Sanders help to unite Democrats?

Bernie Sanders still could win the presidential election. For Donald Trump. He did it before. He could do it again.

Perhaps by the time you read this, Sanders will have suspended his campaign and endorsed Joe Biden. He should have if he is concerned about Democratic unity to defeat President Trump. Or is it all about Bernie?

With the pandemic, it’s also an ethical imperative for Sanders to put ego aside and admit his race for the Democratic nomination has failed, thus allowing more people to stay away from the polls in remaining presidential primaries and reduce risk of coronavirus spread.

In the voting Tuesday, Sanders lost every county in Florida as Biden won by 40 percentage points, lost every county but one in Illinois as Biden won by over 20 points and lost by double digits in Arizona, the one state where Sanders held out hope for doing well. Sanders was saved by the coronavirus from suffering another humiliating defeat in Ohio. The governor there called off the election.
