I am more skeptical now. I think he has boxed himself into a corner now and he may find it hard to do so. No doubt some of his more passionate supporters and staff egged him on. They thought the dnc would yield and meet his demands but that has not happened. He is starting to get ridiculed on the media, trump is self destructing so Bernie can not even make the electability argument anymore. He is fading from the media as attention is turning to the GE and of course Orlando. He missed yet another opportunity to rally with his colleagues during the gun fillibuster.

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

Quitting in what sense? pat_k Jun 2016 #9

It has already been announced that he won't quit tonight, but he is irrelevant anyway. n/t Lil Missy Jun 2016 #11

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

he won't concede before the convention, maybe he will concede after the convention nt geek tragedy Jun 2016 #15
