You have performed your usual ritual of waving before this forum some string of words emitted by 'Bernie', as if there was anything the fellow could say that was worthy of the least attention. He and his words are worthless. No one cares what he says, no one cares what he thinks. He cannot do anything about any of it. All he can do is try and keep his wrecking crew of supporters tuned up to a fever pitch that makes them a threat to Democratic prospects in November. Since in this circumstance the prospects of the Democratic nominee, Mr. Biden, and of all other Democrats on the ballot, are identical with the good of the people and our country, to a degree far greater than has ever been the case before, by doing this 'Bernie' is doing great harm. There is no doubt whatever the man is aware of it. The best course for drawing his teeth is removing the drug of slavish adulation from him.
"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."
