mathematically impossible for him to be the nominee if they haven't figured it out for themselves. That would be the honorable thing to do.

(25 posts)I got an email from Predict It today. I thought it was funny that Bernie is now in 3rd place in the race for the Democratic nomination...right behind Andrew Cuomo. Biden was at 80 cents. Andrew at 8 and Bernie at 6.

(96,043 posts)From Bernies perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they dont want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway.
From Mr. Chait at New York magazine:

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)Is that people will keep voting in the same manner and for the same policies all their lives. This is not how it goes with most people. Sanders, having seldom if ever changed his mind and his views since his college days, may have been shielded from this. President Obama made a great appeal to young voters in 2008, and youth turnout for him was higher than usual. Today, the twenty somethings who voted for him then are nearing forty, the teenagers who voted for him are breaking thirty. They will not have the same attitudes, about life or politics, as they did a dozen years ago. They will have different desires, different needs, different ambitions, a different sense of what life is, a different sense of their proportion to the world around them. They may maintain a party identity, but will respond to different appeals and different styles and demeanors and factions within that party. Even a few years can make a difference at younger ages. Sanders is not getting the same 'youth vote' as he did four years ago. Fewer young people are voting in these primaries. Some whom Sanders initially appealed to have probably 'aged out', some will have grown disenchanted for other reasons, and even more important, Sanders has lost his novelty. 'Bernie' is no longer the hot new thing, he is a blast from the past.

Is this what the Fuhrer meant by "America First"?
Too bad Drumpf can't hold rallies so his brownshirts can all chant "USA! USA! USA!" when they get the great news.
