(96,043 posts)When a team has a won/lost percentage of around 350 and the team in first place has a won/lost percentage of around 650, and a lead in standings of a half dozen games, the season is over for the last place team. There may be some slim 'if I always roll a seven I might make a million' chance, but as a matter of fact, playing out the twenty games left will simply increase the lead of the first place team to a round dozen. It is over. The man has failed to win, he has been defeated, the Democratic Party does not want him for its nominee, and he will not be its nominee. His only purpose for continuing his futile campaign is to do damage to the 'Democratic Establishment', and thus weaken our hand against the cheap thug Trump in November, to the great detriment of the people and our country.
"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
