Yeah, Obama's private missive to donors was totally effective, forgot press and party moved on and Bernie dropped out Mar 18, despite those clairvoyant polls showing how much stronger he was 8 months away.

For some reason Bernie seems to be hinting to Joe that he might pack it in, perhaps won't demand a big seat at the convention to consider holding his nose enough to vote for Biden.

That said, the pandemic does beg to lay off politics a few months and deal with the crisis.

In reply to Biden almost bests Hillary

That said, I grant that there are more calls for him to drop out than at this time in 2016. But the context is also very different. In 2016, people saw Hillary as a shoe-in to beat Trump, so there was no sense of urgency. Such complacency is long gone.

PS And Covid-19. Personally, I think he should drop out so that states can cancel primary elections to reduce the contagion.
