(96,043 posts)Mr. Biden still would be on the ballot, and defeat 'Bernie' in the remaining primaries.
Delegates pledged to Mr. Biden would vote for him on the first ballot.
They would then be released to vote their conscience, and would vote for some favorite son or daughter of the Party.
'Bernie' has not even this grotesque vulture's hope of the nomination.
"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
