At this point, if he doesn’t withdraw from the race, he’s an a####le straight up. His funding is gone, his lead in the polls is over, he’s guaranteed to lose should he decide to ride it out, there are no positives in that situation.

But he has to stand down, if not, here comes Senator McCaskill for another 6 years.
