(17,378 posts)5. We Should Be Forewarned and Know What to Expect
I see a lot of threads speculating about whether BS will drop out even though he has no chance of winning. The answer is no.
We also see BS suggesting that he is just doing this to bring attention to his platform just in case there is someone living under a rock that does not know he is in favor of single payer. This is also not true, because BS's campaign is so heavily focused on trashing Democrats.
At one time, we could give BS the benefit of the doubt. However, given that BS repeatedly steals from the Trump playbook to trash Democrats or complain about how the DNC or the media are not fair, we need to keep in mind that this is part of his MO.

Some have wondered. It is strange that Bernie has not more consistently criticized Trump,

The Campaign financial numbers are due next week, which will make for interesting reading.
