Why Sanders should quit: #SuperTuesday #PrimaryDay

My profile was flagged for review over the weekend because I sarcastically used Bernie's own word, "ghetto." I got called a racist, fascist, and anti-semite by people so clueless they didn't realize their own candidate was the one whose cluelessness led him to use that word while showing how out of touch he was! Talk anout LULZ!

Virtually all polling shows Bernie Sanders winning the younger vote by a large percentage. These voters are the future of the Democratic Party. Hillary carries very high negatives going into a general election. These will be enormous fodder for Trump.
Many Republicans begin to salivate like rabid dogs just with the mention of her name. This is unfortunate, but cannot be ignored.

She should drop out and work to consolidate the party around someone who has a greater chance in the general, and who has the support of the future voters in this party.

Accounting Error:
Bernie's Growing Troubles with Illegal and Foreign Contributions


SNIP
"Since October of 2015 to the end of January, the FEC counted a total of 665 potentially illegal foreign donations to the Sanders campaign, and hundreds of donors who have exceeded their contribution limits. The FEC noted more foreign contributions in just the month of January than in the previous three months combined, and has flagged over 3,500 contributions as over-limit. Through the end of December alone, the Sanders campaign had collected more than $23 million in donations without sourcing them or certifying that those came from donors whose aggregate total giving is below $200.

For someone so interested about campaign - and even non-campaign - contributions to other candidates, the American people deserve to know where Sanders' money is coming from. And no, Bernie's signature, dismissive diatribe of "our money comes from people giving $27" is just not cutting it anymore.

This is not Bernie Sanders' first federal campaign. He's been in elected federal office for 25 years.

The most benign of all possible explanations for these questions raised by the FEC on Sanders' campaign finances is an astounding level of incompetence.

He has about 2 endorsements. That's how impressive his 25 yr Congressional record is.
Oh well, he'll always have his friend Sen Inhoffe R-OK

. . . he'd be going out like Seinfeld: quitting while he's ahead, having created something awesome that won't be forgotten. Sure people will miss him, but the impact he's made on culture is already done.

So, not the worst idea.
