Bernie Sanders suspends campaign.

Senator Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign to become US president.

The development clears the way for former vice-president Joe Biden to become the Democratic party's nominee.

Mr Sanders, 78, told his campaign staff about his decision on a conference call on Wednesday.

He is expected to address his supporters in an online address shortly, his campaign said.

"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."

Oh, thank goodness!!!

I like Bernie some. I like his platform A LOT, but it's Biden time. We've got to begin putting out the word on Trump and how bad he is, how downright evil he is.

I like Bernie’s ideas, for the most part, but I think he’s the wrong man to represent those ideas.
