Lawrence O'Donnell is wrong

4. The 538 bunch essentially agrees.

While I think that Bernie should stay in until June 7, if he really wants to in spite of the fact that he will NOT win, his anti-Dem rhetoric and the truly nasty behavior of some of his supporters, apparently condoned by him, is despicable and should be stopped immediately. If this continues, Bernie will go down in history as 2016's Nader, whether Hillary wins the GE or not.

I firmly believe that she can win in site of his petty snits and hissyfits and she never would have had the support of his radical zealots in any event. She wouldn't have wanted that support either. She has reason, logic, love and a staunch work ethic on her side, not bitterness, hypocrisy, incompetence and sour grapes.

In any event, Bernie who has already lost the high ground will lose it forever if he continues like this. No elected Dem will ever trust him again and he will likely be hard-pressed to find allies in any political camp unless he forms his own party - which would take much more work than he is used to.

Progress will be made in spite of him - not because of him. He will be forever consigned to the "what-might-have-been" dustbin of history. If remembered at all - he will NOT be remembered well - much like Nader is remembered by many today.
