re: #492 Belafon

The rub is that even if Obama and Reid convince him to wind things down, Bernie really can’t until DC is over. If he walked out today and said it’s time to start the general election, he’d lose all influence over the “Bernie or Bust” people. So, we stuck in this mode until Tuesday.

I’m fine with Bernie waiting until Tuesday but after D.C’s results come in. He needs to drop it and tell his supporters that we need to focus on beating Trump right now. If he doesn’t do this, I’m all for the Democratic leadership doing all it can do to end his political career. He wants to play hardball, he should get hardball. I don’t want it to come to this but Bernie needs to get the emssage.
