Bernie has to suspend. [View all]

People are not going to put up with his attacks on the party of which he is running on their ticket.

We are in a fight against evil and we are the good guys. He does not have a path and we cannot play into his vanity.

If he does not, I suspect DNC will cancel debates. Debates will do nothing to change the fact that he will not be the nominee.

He needs to reckon with this and help to get his supporters to help Joe. The longer he remains the longer people will have sour grapes. Bernie attacking the good guys for another 3 months will do nothing but entrench his supporters against the enemy. The enemy in their minds is not Trump, but the “democratic establishment”.

It must end and end soon.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He should, but we'll see. NT Happy Hoosier Mar 2020 #7
