Sanders vows to fight on.

Upping the ante in his quest for the White House, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders vowed on Tuesday night to continue battling for the Democratic Presidential nomination even if Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States.

“If, on November 8th of this year, Hillary Clinton is elected President, we will have only begun to fight,” Sanders told a packed rally in San Francisco.

Sanders acknowledged that continuing to fight for the nomination after Clinton is elected President would represent a “steep challenge,” but added, “When we started this race we were only at three per cent in the polls. Anything is possible.”

Any hopes that Sanders would soon abandon his Presidential run in the interest of Democratic Party unity were dashed in his defiant closing remarks. “Just because someone stands up there on Inauguration Day with her hand in the air and is sworn in as President, that does not mean it is over,” he said, to a standing ovation.

How can he continue to campaign, the funds have to be gone and surely no one will loan him any money to fund a failed campaign.

NY and CA - both states were Bernie all but guaranteed a win. Got his ass kicked in both even though he spent tons of money and time in both. Hell, on Monday he was guaranteeing NM in his column too.

If the only way he would be able to pay it off would be to accept money from them.
