If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Here's an Idea, Senator Sanders: [View all] MineralMan Mar 2020 OP
Is he saying they should be cancelled tomorrow? I know some of his people on twitter.... George II Mar 2020 #1
He hinted at it on CNN. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #4
Apparently, he suggested it in an interview after the debate. MineralMan Mar 2020 #5
Operative part: after relayerbob Mar 2020 #25
Yes, indeed he does know. MineralMan Mar 2020 #26
I thought he wanted to postpone the primaries. djg21 Mar 2020 #61
He's already lost. showblue22 Mar 2020 #2
Exactly. MineralMan Mar 2020 #3
No kidding! calimary Mar 2020 #21
BOOM! Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #70
If he cared anything at all about the health crisis, he'd concede and withdraw immediately... NurseJackie Mar 2020 #6
I agree, but I doubt he will do that. MineralMan Mar 2020 #7
It's hard for a candidate to collect "donations" if he (or she) isn't running. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #8
Very true. There's also the matter of irrelevance. MineralMan Mar 2020 #11
"even though he actually is." NurseJackie Mar 2020 #13
Bernie Sanders has an ego that is second to none. MineralMan Mar 2020 #14
It's that way of thinking that only allows his "followers" to become bitter and resentful. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #15
I think Sanders has two kinds of followers. MineralMan Mar 2020 #16
The tips of the horseshoe almost touch. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #17
So it seems. MineralMan Mar 2020 #18
We'll just have to lance it! NurseJackie Mar 2020 #20
Stand well back if you do! MineralMan Mar 2020 #23
Ewwww! NurseJackie Mar 2020 #32
That might have made sense in 2016 kcr Mar 2020 #69
Trump's presidency is dangerous. Drop out and let's go after him. oasis Mar 2020 #9
Yes. Don't suggest, though, that primaries MineralMan Mar 2020 #10
Bernie may have staff "bitter enders" pushing him to remain in oasis Mar 2020 #44
I'd sign on to that Thekaspervote Mar 2020 #12
Thanks. I think you just did. MineralMan Mar 2020 #19
It's almost as though his ego is more important than the people Orrex Mar 2020 #22
Right. LizBeth Mar 2020 #38
Give him a call and tell us how the conversation goes. LanternWaste Mar 2020 #24

He doesn't care about the country just himself, sound like anyone we know? redstatebluegirl Mar 2020 #27
Yes it does. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #31
There is no path for him he just can't walk away from the attention. redstatebluegirl Mar 2020 #43
He doesn't want to do that because he sincerely believes that he would be a better president. totodeinhere Mar 2020 #29
Why should he drop out? Because he is sure to lose, MineralMan Mar 2020 #30
I think as long as he has a mathematical chance he will stay in the race. totodeinhere Mar 2020 #33
He doesn't really have even that chance. MineralMan Mar 2020 #35
He may wish to go to the convention with the most delegates possible even though as appears totodeinhere Mar 2020 #36
That trick will not work again like it did in 2016. MineralMan Mar 2020 #39
Nor will trying once again to steal the nomination work. He'll Hortensis Mar 2020 #46
Maxim leverage over the party. Do you know how that sounds and how it turns people off LizBeth Mar 2020 #42
He will be shunned at the convention as a person who only helps Trump and I for one believe he gets Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #49
If we want to win in November we had better not do that. That would turn off millions of totodeinhere Mar 2020 #53
Then he is not concerned about the people and quit pretending he is, or using it as an excuse LizBeth Mar 2020 #41
Because he believes that he would make a better president who could serve the people better totodeinhere Mar 2020 #51
It doesn't matter he "thinks". The voters says otherwise. So he takes his ego over what other people LizBeth Mar 2020 #52
He may well believe that it would be disrespectful the voters who have not voted yet totodeinhere Mar 2020 #54
Sanders knows he will be knocked on his ass, and out of the race. Now he has Trump and Gov LizBeth Mar 2020 #55

Because Sanders is trying to prolong his ass kicking and Trump and Repub jumped in, ya. LizBeth Mar 2020 #66

Your vote doesn't. Sanders lost and Lives. LizBeth Mar 2020 #58

Once the candidate has lost, it doesn't, or your vote doesn't matter. Where is the logic otherwise? LizBeth Mar 2020 #60
Message auto-removed Name removed Mar 2020 #62
Yes. He has. LizBeth Mar 2020 #65
I have someone that feels like that with their candidate Tulsi. Sander lost. Tulsi lost. LizBeth Mar 2020 #40
He doesn't have a mathematical chance...and this is completely selfish on his part...and only helps Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #48
Not true. Joe Biden has a 150 delegate lead with 1991 needed on the first ballot. totodeinhere Mar 2020 #50
cancelling an election is not a good idea theLJhog Mar 2020 #34

Bernie Sanders is only in it for the book sales Galraedia Mar 2020 #45

Thanks for dropping by... MineralMan Mar 2020 #64
So what we cheat now using a crisis as an excuse? No. You think, Sanders thinks. The voters said. LizBeth Mar 2020 #67
I hope the admins put their 'no bashing the nominee' rule in affect tomorrow night. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #68
I don't think any of these elections would be canceled if Bernie dropped out democrattotheend Mar 2020 #71
Not all of them, I suspect; we only had the one item on our ballot LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #72
