Clyburn: It's time to shut this primary down and cancel future debates

[ucrdem]

if things continue as they began tonight, in which case, Biden becomes the prohibitive favorite

(live interview on NPR)

[NYMinute]

1. I stand with Rep. Clyburn

[onetexan]

6. Ditto! Thank you Rep Clyburn.

Go Joe!!

[SidDithers]

2. Yup...nt

Sid

[itsrobert]

3. Don't think Bernie is going to jump out just yet

n/t

[jimlup]

4. NOT TRUE

It isn't over mainstream

[msongs]

15. gotta hankering to hear bernie's stump speech again nt

[mahina]

20. Lol

You got me. Thanks

But I don’t see any good argument for cutting our voters. We should respect the process

[beachbumbob]

5. not clyburns call or any one else's except sanders and we know he is incapable of doing so

[Hortensis]

10. Right. He has the 300 he needs to

cause trouble at the convention.

[ucrdem]

12. Biden has nothing to gain from debating Bernie now

That's if things continue as they began. Debbie Dingell is now on NPR pushing back on Clyburn, saying that Bernie still has a chance, Bernie gives young people hope, Bernie will win her district, Bernie still has a chance. I think she's in for a surprise.

7. Bernie has to make that decision.

If Sanders gets hammered tonight, he can withdraw from the race and everyone would be ok with him saying that he doesn't want to risk people's health by having large gatherings.

[tritsofme]

8. I strongly agree. The race is over, no reason to continue humoring Sanders delusions.

[R B Garr]

9. I so much agree with this. Who needs to see more

of the repetitive angry lies about Democrats that only help the GOP.

Clyburn has such great judgment! That’s a leader.

[Cha]

11. Wow.. James Clyburn is as tired of this

as some of us are.

Thank you, James Clyburn, Jannie Jones, and GOTV for South Carolina!

Before the Clyburn Endorsement, an Elderly Church Usher With a Question (NYT)

Ms. Jones said that she recognized Mr. Clyburn from seeing him on television. “But he didn’t know me from Adam’s house cat,” she said. “When I got home, I didn’t think no more of it. I just thought that hearing from him meant the world for me. I didn’t know that it was a big influence for him.”

Mahalo, ucr!

[Dawgman49]

13. I'm tired of it as well but it could backfire

Shut it down would deny the remaining states primaries....not good for momentum and ownership in November...unless Bernie drops out, but not writing him off yet

[Hekate]

14. Works for me

[stillcool]

16. I wish it could be true..

but don't dare hope. So much crap going on day in, day out. I want a no-drama Obama about now. I want a candidate that can put an ass kicking team together to start to fix the effing mess the federal government is. I want people who know what they're doing. People with experience in every inch of our government. Eff me.

[highplainsdem]

17. I agree.

[StevieM]

18. Joe and Bernie should have their one on one debate in Arizona next week.

Biden will then win in a landslide in the March 17 contests.

Then Bernie may very well drop out.

[BlueIdaho]

19. No thank you.

The process should continue to its conclusion. That’s democracy in action. As far as debates go? They should do what’s fair for every voter. I just know I’m done watching them.
