3. A lot of people did tell Biden to drop out.

I can post the articles if you'd like.

The difference, of course, is that Biden kept saying, "wait until South Carolina...". He knew he had a wall.

Had Biden not won SC, or even if he had a very narrow victory, he might have dropped out anyway.

So, here's my question to you:

We knew SC was Biden's firewall - the state he was going to get things turned around (or not).

What's Bernie's?

Where's Bernie going to turn this around and actually make up the ground he's lost in delegate math?

If there isn't a state he can point to for that moment, then he doesn't have a viable pathway to the nomination and his playing this liek 2016 will only hurt the Democratic Party.

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