In reply to the discussion: Bernie 'will play dirty': Ex-Vermont governor slams Sanders [View all]Celerity

Sanders is pretty unique.
Screw this talk of BS going full rogue and running 3rd party, it's already clear what his intentions are.
I have no clue what his intentions are for anything.
What do you think his intentions are?
And again, it not just Sanders and a 3rd party/indie run they have to worry about. Piss off his supporters and sympathetic people by bringing the hammer down on him and booting him out of the primaries would be courting disaster and would enrage millions, probably a shedload who were not even hardcore Bernie people. It would be a horrid look, especially if it involves shutting down the primaries before Biden hit 1991 in pledged delegates garnered from votes, not counting SD's.

Saying it's all about policies, making it all about personal attacks because goals are the same.

Will 14% support for BS change when he drops out? Not by much from the looks of things.
