Maybe another Vatican Trip.
Wondering! Can he still ask for donations?
Treant
(1,968 posts)As long as he doesn't quit the campaign--even if he only suspends it--he can ask for donations.
Many politicians use that as a means to pay off their campaign debts in the event of a loss like this. In this case, I can't predict what he'll do.

(9,494 posts)who really cares if he doesn't come around until October? By then he won't matter very much. He is starting not to matter much now.

Compare his actions to Hillary at the conclusion of 2008? And THAT was a close primary! This was not.

George II
(67,782 posts)Yes, he'd be a nobody in another state, one reason why he ran from New York (his home state) the first chance he got.

(2,798 posts)I just hope there isn't too much disruption. And I hope there is no violence. That would put a cloud over anything positive going on at the convention.
If Bernie cared about Hillary's prospects in the general election, he would cancel those protests. But I think he is kind of looking forward to the chaos they will cause.

(115,283 posts)Some seem nostalgic for 1968. They forget that in '68 young men could be drafted to fight an unpopular war. The Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey never ran much less won a state primary.
Today is nothing like 1968.

(15,438 posts)They don't want to see a President Trump - the one candidate U.$. Media are all falling over themselves to promote against the Democratic candidate - and have been from the start. The others that are made up of god-knows-what will most definitely do their darnedest to try a last-ditch effort to damage the Democrats, and those will show up at the Convention.

I can't wait for the time we no longer have to cater to his delusions.

(5,591 posts)He's not a team player. I dislike him a great deal.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)support. I still respected him back then, though...up until the DNC data breach in December and the arrogance he displayed, threatening to sue the DNC for locking him out of his campaign's files which happened because he refused to either return the files they had stolen and/or destroy them and show proof of that. They simply ignored Wasserman-Schultz' requests.
It was then I got an ugly feel about him and his campaign, getting the sick feeling that they were not Democrats by any measure but a Trojan horse in order to "gut the Democratic Party" from the inside out. Now that that's failed during the primaries, he's still trying to damage the Democratic Party, this country, and especially Hillary Clinton as much as he can on his way out.
He's NO Democrat.
geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)Clinton's strategy will be to make nice with him in public and throw him a bone or two in private, with the goal not being him joining the team but rather him fading into irrelevancy.
His endorsement would be nice to have, but the major thing is that he stops being a problem.
Bernie Sanders is never going to endorse someone who beat him, that's not in his character.

I'm sure it will be "Won't you donate so we can take it to the convention blah blah blah."
Every last $27 you can get helps pay the senior staff right?
