9. Quitting in what sense?

He already ceased running against Hillary.

He already made it clear he's going the the convention with his delegates, not for the nomination, but to demonstrate the depth of support for "the most progressive platform ever passed by the Democratic Party. A platform which makes it crystal clear that the Democratic Party is on the side of working people." He's not "quitting" on that goal.

The question is, to what extent will he voice support for Hillary? Call on voters to fight to elect Dems to all levels of government in Nov -- including electing Hillary to presidency? Or what?

We'll find out in three hours.

What Sanders does tonight is irrelevant. The job is to kick Trump's ass and win the Senate. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2016 #7

I doubt it, though it doesn't really matter. Most of the real world has moved on to the GE. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #8

With no more private jet fuel money, expect more of these "webisodes" of The Bernie Sanders Show. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #12

It doesn't really matter. He is rapidly fading in the public consciousness. Nye Bevan Jun 2016 #13
