No, Jane said they evaluate every day. Again, this story says “Sanders shows no intention of bowing out,” but there has never been any indication at any point that he had any such intentions. He’s consistently said that he’s staying in this until the last vote is cast, and I think it’s a safe bet that this is exactly what he will do.

Tell me the difference between Trump and Bernie on trade, NAFTA specifically.

Polling shows most Democratic and Democratic-leaning young people don’t “hate” Hillary, they just like Bernie better. See, for example, the Harvard poll Josh wrote about in the EdBlog today.

I do have to say it’s funny and ironic that Bernie outspends Clinton by millions in NY and PA, but says money corrupts and buys elections.

Good. They’ll vote for her in November then.

They’ve been thoroughly propagandized – being spoon fed with both right wing and far left smears. They aren’t old enough to have learned first hand the lessons of Nader in 2000 – or to have experienced Bill’s presidency and all the hate directed at him and HRC. Sanders campaign surrogates such as Rosario Dawson hold up Monica Lewinsky as some sort of anti-bullying icon – and you have the circle of Naderites telling them it OK to sit out the election if Bernie doesn’t win. Pathetic.

Bernie certainly can stay in the race as long as he likes, but as he falls further and further behind in the delegate count, his argument for the nomination becomes more hollow…and he starts to sound like Ted Cruz - in the sense that he has to hope she doesn’t hit the magic number and he can convince her delegates/superdelegates to join him on the second ballot, etc.

As far as I am aware, few people actually call for him to drop out now. I am not wanting him to drop out, either. Just change his tone and stop divisive rhetoric is all I ask for.

Could it be the two XX chromosomes that people have been taught to dislike/fear/reject at first glance?

Well, to be fair, money may still corrupt, even if it doesn’t work to buy elections…
I don’t think Bernie, or at least Bernie Bros, is concerned about money, so much as money from “those people” (the 1%).

If she plays her cards right, yes, not only should she beat Trump (or whoever, but it’s looking more and more like Trump) among younger voters, she should beat him by a large margin in this group. According to that Harvard poll about 80% of those who strongly favor Bernie are already prepared to support Hillary. I expect she could cut into the other 20% a bit too when it becomes a direct Hillary/Trump contest. But the bigger issue with young people is not just what percentage support each candidate. but how many young people turn out to vote in November. And that includes a lot of people who didn’t vote in the primaries as well.

What a gruesome spectacle. It’s the end of “Throne of Blood” all over again.
I realize it was that for me! More specifically, my Mother’s adoration of First Lady Clinton. As she reminded me this morning, Hillary is “one month younger than me, exactly.” Which, with only a little bit of self reflection, was a ridiculous reason to dislike Secretary Clinton.

At the rally, Sanders touted the more than 1,200 delegates and 16 primary races he has won thus far and the momentum he’s gained how since he started the race polling at just three percent nationally. He also framed himself as better suited than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to face off against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in a general election contest.
Apparently Sen Sanders hasn’t seen the results of:
The Most Important Poll You Didn’t See.
(comment below from Josh M’s Editor’s blog this evening)
The overarching results on that front are pretty clear. Despite press commentary about both parties being deeply divided and millennials fleeing the Democratic brand, these results tell a very different story: Millennials aren’t just liberal. They’re getting more liberal. And rather than being liberal on policy issues but alienated from the Democratic party, they’re actually become significantly more identified with the Democratic party during this primary process. Are they wild about Hillary Clinton? No, they’re not. But in a general election context, liberal political views and the importance of the Democrats winning the 2016 election seems to more than offset that disaffection.
Rather undercuts the notion that Sen Sander deserves the Superdelegate switch to his candidacy–
due to his superior head-to-head matchup against Trump.
That idea reeks of both hypocrisy and desperation.
But staying in till June? Now?
I’d hafta’ posit there are still alot of $27 contributions to be had.
