[The Magistrate]

8. Indeed, Sir, It Is Nonesense

The question is not whether the primaries should be held. Presidential preference is merely one line on a ballot determining candidates for other Federal offices, and for state and local offices.

The question is whether Sanders ought to continue to contest the Presidential preference line. Particularly since he is certain to fail of success in doing so, at least if success is defined as securing the nomination of the Party. If Sanders defines success as something other than securing the nomination, then his continued efforts to contest the Presidential line must do harm to the prospects of the candidate now certain to secure the Party's nomination for President. That Sanders knows this is certain: he may display many of the stigmata of an idiot, but he is not a fool. Onlookers have little choice, therefore, but to cast about for his motives in continuing the contest. None of the more likely ones are very pretty, some are actively pernicious.
