Sanders Vows to Keep Fighting for the Nomination Even if Hillary is Elected PresidentSAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)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.

Borowitz of course is parody, but the reason he's so good at that is that his parodies always have an element of truth.

God for forbid, he actually take his group of supporters and form a coalition into making some changes in the democratic party. I always suspected about the man, a disgruntle loser.

Neither one is as funny as they think, IMO. How they make a career out of what they do, I honestly have no idea.
