Bernie could be really instrumental in gathering support for Biden. I don't see him doing so though I hope I'm selling him short by saying that.

He must know there's no way forward for him and maybe he cares a bit about his legacy.

He could actually be a huge force behind the Dems walloping Trump in November if he chooses.

I think essentially the primaries wrapped up tonight.

I'm not worried about Warren. She's a class act. It's Bernie I'm unsure of.

we're facing an existential threat to the existence of democracy in the USA. I hope he does this.

The sheer numbers of people who got out and voted, who registered yesterday, who stood in line long after the polls closed, who came together for Biden - I'm full of gratitude for them. In 2018 we showed what a blue wave could do. We elected Dems across the board including in the important positions of Attorney General, Governor, Secretary of State - all women. That is how it's done. I hope we carry it through to November and there are no GOP shenanigans that we can't overcome.

And it’s being rumored he will drop out tomorrow. Essentially, Biden’s the presumptive nominee at this point. Voting Blue. Trump has to go.

All our candidates putting their voices and resources into attacking trump and republicans. Campaigning for down-ticket Dems... So much needs to be done. If we end the primary early, we can concentrate our efforts and deliver a Blue Tsunami!

Biden chooses Bernie for VP.

would accept an offer of VP.

A pushing 80 white male president is unlikely to pick another pushing 80 white male VP. I doubt he’ll pick Warren (my primary preference) either. Guessing someone younger, probably a woman, maybe a POC. May be totally wrong, but don’t think so.

But, Bernie would be a wonderful asset to any administration. Head of HHS for starters?

It opens a Senate seat which is filled by a special election in Vermont a state we usaly win well quite handily but 1 problem could be Phil Scoot the popular republican govonor of Vermont could run . And then there's the fact theree bolth old white guys

I do think he's itching to be asked, though, so he could turn it down and tell everyone he did.

This has been an exhausting primary. Hopefully, we can all finally unite to beat Donald Trump!

It's been a real battle of ideas, but the voters are making their choice quite clear.

As a progressive, Warren and Sanders were my 1st and 2nd choices, but all the candidates are vastly superior to Trump.

It's time to unite the party behind our next nominee and to stop the carping and any sniping from this point on.

When I think of the line up republican candidates in the last few primaries, it was pathetic. We should be very proud.

It isn't easy when it becomes clear your candidate can't win. I was there myself with Buttigieg.

Warren dropping out, even though towards the end it seemed inevitable, was very hard.

But as that old political concession speech goes:

"The voters have spoken. Damn them."


It's time for all of us as Democrats to unite behind our next nominee, and that's going to be Joe Biden.

With the uncertainty of COVID-19 and it having been present at a large gathering, the big rallies that Senator Sanders use as the cornerstone of his campaign are just hazardous.

Let Trump have rallies if he wants to, I just hope MAGATS are at least wise enough to stay away from such a petri-dish of infection.

Mighty glad to have your support. It’ll make a difference!

We have plenty of room in our boat.

On a personal level, I'm more than fine with Sanders giving it until after next Tuesday. His supporters need to come to grips and that's never easy. They're dealing with some pretty hard blows tonight. Let's respect them while our candidates pivot.

I'm not calling for him to rub salt in their already raw wounds. That's just cruel, and it's not who I want to be as a fellow human and Democrat. I've been in their shoes before and I know how painful it can be. Let's give some respect and a tiny bit of time to them, ok? No harm will be had by doing either.

at virtually every appearance at least once that Democrats are really mostly the same as Republicans. We are not an alternative to them.

America hasn't given proper attention to what kind of person could believe such a thing, but it's looking as if the people may have become concerned anyway.

As for what's ahead, Sanders 2016 role, abetted by Russia, helped turn the nation over to Republicans who promised to eliminate liberalism and progressivism from government. He doesn't say he believes Republican destruction of our democracy would create a path to power for him, but many of his followers believe and have said just that.

So, on to the convention. because I just realized that Sanders delegates, selected once again for aggression, may not have a convention hall to act out in. They were likely already realizing how hard it will be for small numbers to disrupt, and hopefully that real possibility is an additional sad for them tonight.
