The great majority, even preponderance, of Sanders voters, you yourself insist, will vote for Mr. Biden, the Party's nominee for President, come November. What can be called Sanders' base is only that small portion of those who voted for him who share his goal of destroying the 'Democratic Establishment', so the wreckage of the Party can be taken over by Sanders and his coterie. These are the people who engage in smears and slanders of any Democrat not loyal above all else to Sanders, and do in fact loudly insist they will vote for no Democrat if 'Bernie' is not nominated, and might even vote for Trump if Mr. Biden is the candidate.
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."
"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."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
