NY Times:Bernie Sanders Says He Has the Money to Campaign Beyond California Primary

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/02/us/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign-california-primary.html

SPRECKELS, Calif. — Bernie Sanders signaled Wednesday that he would continue his presidential campaign beyond the California primary next week, saying he had the money to keep running until the Democratic National Convention next month.

During a news conference while campaigning in California, the Vermont senator said he already had plans to host events in Washington next week and to lobby superdelegates to withdraw their support from Hillary Clinton and back him instead. He added that he felt confident he can win California’s primary on Tuesday and that Mrs. Clinton was campaigning in the state because of polls showing the two locked in a tight race there. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released on Wednesday shows the race in a statistical tie.


What was all that talk about Bernie being out of money?

you mean that Sanders will be humiliated before the final roll call, then perhaps you are right.

However, I predict that his colleagues will convince him well ahead of time that it would be a poor idea.

And honestly, I will welcome all Sanders supporters onboard, unconditionally, to help defeat Trump.

Is he pivoting to the general or will he continue to attack the Democratic Party?
