Bernie Sanders, it's time to go [View all]

The results of the Saint Patrick’s Day primaries in Florida, Illinois and Arizona show that Joe Biden has a lead in delegates that cannot be overcome short of a miracle. We already have seen one miracle — the resurgence of Joe Biden. It’s not going to happen twice in the same presidential campaign.

After the Tuesday blowout, Biden has increased his delegate lead so that Sanders should recognize that he is just satisfying his ego by staying in the race and possibly irreparably hurting the Democratic Party.

Sanders was a major factor in Hillary Clinton losing to Trump. Bernie claims that Joe Biden is his friend and that they just differ on ideas. Well, now is the time to give up the ego contest, face up to reality and do the right thing by withdrawing from the race for president.

Sanders should not only get out but pledge to work for Biden and ask his supporters to do likewise.
