Bernie has only two options at this point:

Continue the campaign, and ensure more months of character assassination, or end it and work to bring everyone together to defeat Trump, build consensus on the issues, and show America that we're the best choice.

It's all on him; there's nothing else anyone can do, and the longer he waits, the more toxic the reaction from his supporters will be.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He cannot win and he KNOWS he cannot win. The only thing he will accomplish if he stays in, is to further alienate his hard core supporters from Biden, and weaken the party going into the GE.

It's time for him to live up to his campaign motto.

he won't have his huge rallies to keep the momentum going. Basically, I think without those rallies, he really doesn't have a campaign anymore. He really needs to exit with some dignity and class.

Don’t count out the possibility that he runs as a third-party candidate just to be a spoiler.
