Yesterday, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders officially dropped out of the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Despite early successes in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, Sanders failed to put up much of a fight against Joe Biden after the latter convincingly won South Carolina. And so, for the second campaign in a row, he has come up short against a weak but well-known presumptive front-runner.
In the not-too-distant past, this would have depressed me. When Sanders announced his 2016 presidential campaign, I had never heard of him, but he didn’t take too long to figure out. On economic questions, he was among the left-most political figures

I guess this means that AOC won't be appointed Ambassador to the World, huh?

Sanders has had a "successful" political career and has made a very comfortable living, selling an ideology to his youthful but ignorant supporters. But in practice, his beliefs and practices did nothing to further this nation's stability, strength, or influence in this world. Ideologies often sound good in theory, but he knew he was never presidential material and his socialistic ideology was not possible and would never make America better. If he wouldn't fight for his own beliefs, how would he have fought for America's? In the end, he is a little richer than before and still has a bunch of idealistic empty heads who worship him. One day, he will die a rich man, but his legacy will be non-existent.

And he gets to keep the millions in campaign donations. Good work if you can get it.

I could give a rat's patootie about Bernie Sanders dropping out. Anybody with half a brain should know that you should never, ever vote for a Democrat! I could go on and on about them, but smart people know the reasons—more taxes, give away the store, don’t really give a ____ for anybody. It’s all about power, telling you how to live and they are humorless to boot. Bernie is a big mouth and a weakling. Good riddance!

coward Bernie showed his true colors back during the 2016 cam[paign, when a black girl jumped up on the stage, grabbed his microphone, and ranted about black lives matter, or something.
Bernie stood and watched, in an act of cowardice never before see in a political candidate, in a way exceeding Dead Ted Kennedy's actions at Cappaquiddick.
coward Bernie surprised no one the other day, with his whimpering suspensionn of his campaign.

All one needs to do is review Bernie's record from the beginning of his career as mayor of Burlington. Anything he could do to make a buck, legal or illegal, while not breaking a sweat at any time was his idea of a career. Here we see a guy with three big homes, an equally crooked wife and a Marxist philosophy that would have guaranteed the failure of America had we been gullible enough to fall for his trail of horse apples. I no longer believe that his mush-headed followers will riot in disappointment at his loss, they will just shake their heads in disgust and return to mom's basement.

I don’t think it so much about the presidency as it is about he “revolution”. Bernie is the darling of the Democratic Socialists Of America (DSA). Now he will be martyr that they’ll rally around again. From the DSA.org website article: Socialism is the Best Path Forward, APRIL 9, 2020.
“Bernie Sanders may not have won the presidency, but our movement will never be the same.
This was the most successful socialist electoral campaign in U.S. history, and we want to thank Senator Sanders for everything he and his team built during this campaign. ....”
If you want to know what Bernie, AOC are all about peruse the DCA website.

Feel the Bern yet kids? LOL. So resisty with their bumper stickers and OK Boomer snark and look where they are now. We tried to tell them, but oh no, they were 'woke' so they know everything and oldies know nothing. I love it. Enjoy wallowing in your stupidity you smug, creepy, man bun, punks. When I'm out and about and I see your Bernie bumper stickers, I will savor your fog of whine. The good news is all the socialist hotspots still have room for you, even though you are self identified as not that bright. In fact they prefer dopes like you.
