The speech you give when you drop out is a testimony to your character.

The speech you give when you drop out is a testimony to your character.

Yeah, I'm talking to you Bernie.

Compare the speech Bernie is now giving to those given by Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. Pete and Amy gave gracious and calm speeches in which they at the same time spoke of the leadership skills and goodness of Joe Biden.

Even Tulsi Gabbard left with grace and endorsed Joe Biden.

Bernie is giving a self-righteous speech in which he is talking about himself and his campaign. This is who he is. And I'm grateful he will never be president.

Waiting for him to say that Joe Biden is a good man.......

He has for all, and for all time, revealed what an extraordinarily small man he is....

"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."

"
Neither Party supports Bernie Sanders platform so we are screwed."

Many, not all, Sanders supporters wanted him to continue because if you don't support Sanders 100% you are just like Republicans.

Sanders will proceed with a" yes but" endorsement that he can show as "having done the right thing" but temper it to leverage more personal power going forward.

He could have made a full throated endorsement, but didn't.

All Democrats are united 100%. Anyone who at this point doesn't give a 100% endorsement of Biden simply isn't a Democrat.

By use of our 'intelligence guided by experience' in assessing the situation.

"Bernie has an incredible following. Bernie's one of probably a half a dozen people in American history who may not be the nominee but has had an impact on American politics in a significant way...and a positive way," Biden said.

"So if I'm the nominee, I can tell you one thing: I would very much want Bernie to be part of the journey, engaging in all the things he's worked so hard to do, many of which I agree with."

Dwelling on what's wrong about Bernie won't help us win.

I'm with Joe about Bernie. Would you call that ass kissing?
