Here's an Idea, Senator Sanders:

[MineralMan]

14. Bernie Sanders has an ego that is second to none.

You don't continue to declare yourself to be an "Independent" in a two party world without having an ego that is almost Trumpian. You don't continue on in a campaign that is clearly doomed without a massive ego.

While it does take a very strong sense of self to run for President, the belief that nobody else can do the job as well as you can is pure ego. That's never true. Believing that you are losing only because "the system is rigged" is also a symptom of an overestimation of yourself. More ego.

Bernie is an iconoclast, pure and simple. He thinks everything that is held to be important needs to be torn down, and that he can rebuild the American belief system into something he thinks is better. More of his massive ego speaking.

He should withdraw today, but will not. His massive ego will not allow him to admit defeat.
