Related: About this forumBernie stopped lobbying Super Delegates
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/283850-sanders-camp-no-longer-lobbying-superdelegatesBernie Sanders's campaign manager said Thursday night that the campaign is not actively lobbying for the support of superdelegates.
"We are not currently lobbying superdelegates," Jeff Weaver said during an interview with Bloomberg Politics' With All Due Respect" that aired on MSNBC. "I dont anticipate thatll start anytime soon."
The admission may indicate that the Vermont senator intends to drop out of the Democratic race for president. Sanders is slated to give a live video address to his supporters at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Weaver, however, remained coy during the interview, refusing to reveal whether or when Sanders would drop out of the Democratic race for president, though he did maintain that his boss is a candidate for the Democratic nomination."

Wouldn't raise funds unless he endorsed.

(22,871 posts)9. Wow,seriously? I hadn't heard that. Although it looks
like Feingold isn't going to need his help anyway. He's up 10 points and rising.

I guess his only purpose is to fight over platform planks and try to get DWS fired.
that's playing some serious small ball
He needs to face reality and refocus his anger.
