It’s Time for Bernie Sanders to Suspend His Campaign and Help Hillary Beat Trump

Past time, really

The Hill has an article today quoting many Democrats and Hillary Clinton campaign insiders, who aren’t happy that Bernie Sanders continues to pretend he has a chance to win the Democratic nomination. At this point, Clinton needs to win only 10 percent of the remaining delegates to lock in the nomination.

The reality is there’s just no way Sanders is going to pull this out, and he needs to face that reality and bow out gracefully before he does lasting damage to the Democratic Party and risks ushering in a Donald Trump presidency. (Shudder.)

“This is the worst-case scenario and the one people feared the most,” said one Clinton ally and former Clinton aide. 

“Unfortunately, he’s choosing the path of burning down the house,” the ally said. “He continues with character attacks against Hillary. He continues with calling the Democratic Party corrupt, and he not only risks damaging Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party but he’s currently doing it.” 

Clinton allies say Sanders is only piling on by insisting that Clinton join him for a debate ahead of California’s primary on June 7. The debate would be aired on Fox News, a network Clinton supporters see as fanning the flames between Sanders supporters and the former secretary of State. 

A second ally said Sanders should stop criticizing the party and the front-runner’s supporters even if he continues to fight for delegates through the six state contests on June 7.

“It’s inappropriate at this point, and I hate to tell him, it’s not helping him in the long run. It’s only hurting her,” the ally said. “The Republican Party has their nominee, and he’s free and clear of his Republican opponents and is taking shots at Hillary. We need to move closer to that process, and he’s not helping.”

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
