Related: About this forumNY 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.htmlSPRECKELS, 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 Californias 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?

OP
His supporters did not like that talk and thought they would do a little surprise showing.

Sanders put the lie to that bit of wisdom!

...Remember how quickly he'd tell us when he raised more money than Clinton did?

There will be over a millionbajillion delegates still up for grabs.

(1,438 posts)13. If by contested
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.

(1,438 posts)12. What is there left to campaign?
Is he pivoting to the general or will he continue to attack the Democratic Party?
