'Bernie' will get about a third of the votes, Mr. Biden the rest. Mr. Biden's lead will only increase. States will of course hold primaries, to select the Party's candidates for Congress and for state and local offices, and of course with ballots printed already there will be still several names for President present. But the contest for the Presidential nomination is over, Sanders has lost it. He should recognize this and concede, so that without the slightest distraction the Party and the press can turn to the contest between Mr. Biden and the cheap thug Trump.
"From Bernies perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they dont want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."
"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."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
