34. It Would Postpone, Sir, A Round Of 'Bernie Loses Again' Headlines

That is about all he is angling for. He doesn't want himself, or the public, to be reminded how badly he is being beaten, how thoroughly he is being rejected by the Democratic primary electorate.

That is hard on a man who just knows he is the man of people want, whether they know it or not....





"From Bernie’s 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 don’t 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."

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