(2,412 posts)This sounds abusive to me and my values. As a Sanders supporter who deeply wants more help for the 40% of poor and desperate people in our country, I resent that my candidate is called MF and that I, a retired migrant education teacher am called a minion! Give it a rest. This is not the kind of language that will bring us together. Vote Blue No Matter Who and stop bashing my candidate and my values.

MineralMan
(147,334 posts)He will probably say something in endorsement, but it will not sound sincere, and probably won't be sincere.
What I wonder is what will happen when the Steiners on his staff disperse into the political world.
I can't imagine that they'll be strong Biden supporters. Nina Turner? Not a chance.

(147,334 posts)The bitterness of this second loss will weigh heavily on him. His opinion of himself surpasses all understanding.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)I'm anticipate that he'll be reading something that was written FOR him, and handed to him at the last minute. It will be the first time he has seen it, no time to become familiar with it, no time to practice. It will be just a string of words on paper.
Or, the other possibility is that he'll try to wing-it. And in the process, he'll just fall back into a standard memorized stump speech with the same old tire talking points. He'll forget to endorse. He'll forget to seek unity. He'll forget to build bridges.
We know him too well. (I guess that's why everyone is tired of him and letting us know with their votes.)

The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)Had Sanders not made this second sally, he could have maintained that his views had considerable support among 'working class white men', as demonstrated by their votes in 2016. By going once too often to the well, Sanders has shown that in fact, his voting strength in 2016 among 'working class white men' owed not to support for his policies, and those men's openness if properly inspired to revolution change in a left direction, but rather to a long rightist reactionary campaign of hatred for Mrs. Clinton which he chanced along to be a beneficiary of, and of retrograde attitudes towards 'uppity women' in that demographic which this campaign fed on. Sanders might have had a legacy as a real contender for radical views. It would not have been an honest one, but it would have looked swell on video and in print.

(860 posts)He does not have any interest in four more years of the bastard-in-chief. Re: Turner, I hope she does the right thing and joins the right side of history, but I'm far more interested in making sure his supporters do so.

(37,840 posts)Why it matters: A pause in digital advertising spend on Facebook has been a good indicator that candidates are dropping out of the 2020 race before. Pete Buttigieg and Michael Bloomberg made their Facebook ads inactive hours before they suspended their campaigns.
The state of play: Sanders and his wife Jane are traveling back to Vermont today to assess the path forward for our campaign," per a note from his campaign manager Faiz Shakir.
Shakir wrote that "last night did not go the way we wanted," after they lost all three states that voted: Arizona, Illinois and Florida.

(13,857 posts)Axios reporting
Axios is reporting that Sen. Bernie Sanders has suspended his presidential campaign. Yesterday Biden won all 3 states, and has a formidable and unsurmountable lead. That leaves Biden as the Democratic candidate for President.

(12,008 posts)All I found on the Axios site is that he stopped his Facebook ads, which likely means he's suspending the campaign, but has there been any confirmation?

And judging by the responses I just reviewed on Twitter and elsewhere, it's pretty clear that the overwhelming sentiment is for Sen. Sanders to end his campaign.

Its just a desperate ploy.
