Bernie Sanders Addresses Supporters; Stays In Race
Christine Rousselle
Posted: Jun 08, 2016 2:08 AM
Following a rough election night that saw him winning only in North Dakota and Montana, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) took the stage in Santa Monica, CA and thanked his supporters, "tens of thousands of volunteers" in California, and reminded everyone that they are part of a political revolution that will change the United States.

I think Comrade BS should stand up for what be believes and take his race for the White House all the way.

To November? No. He should stay in until the convention and use his well-earned political capital to influence the party's platform.
If Bernie had run as an Independent from the beginning that would be different and I would happily vote for him in the General.
But he chose to run as a Democrat. And the Democratic Party, not just its super delegates, chose Hillary.
He should be a gracious loser. If he doesn't want to endorse her, that's another kettle of fish.
Agreed. But I don't think that he will post convention.
Can he run as a CPUSA? Or Greenie? If so, he should stick to his passions. He would peel off some of The Queen of Corruption supporters maybe. I mean she corrupt as hell and boring as all get out.
I agree thats most likely what he WILL do. For the sake of the democrat party, thats what he SHOULD do. He should gracefully collect his participant ribbon where he will get patted on the head and then told to go stand in the corner. And then both parties will go back to the same business as usual schtick. If he is truly trying to lead a 'revolution' he would continue to fight. Again...not saying for the sake of the democrat party he should...but for the sake of his 'cause'. I'm sure he will do what all partisan voters will do...get back in line and vote as they are told.To November?

Geeez...this is a horrendous election.
Nah...he will be crazy uncle Bernie and he will have the same cachet Jessie Jackson had after the democrats used him up and used him out. if he supports Hillary he will be and should be seen as a sellout. "revolutions" are invalid if they are only done in the name of convenience and if Trump is smart (he IS smart...just not politically) he would have teams of people putting together anti Clinton adds using nothing but Bernie and Bernie supporters comments. That would minimize anything Sanders says in the next few months.I think he will continue fight. Just not as a presidential candidate. He will turn his sights on Trump until the election in hopes of convincing as many independents as possible not to vote for Trump. Once the election is over he will go back to calling the Republicans and Democrats on their **** in the Senate. But this time with a lot more name recognition.
