Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to take stock of his presidential campaign at his home in Burlington, Vt., following Tuesday’s primary here and in five other states.

“Let’s assess where we are after tomorrow before we make statements based on speculation,” the Vermont senator said Monday at a news conference here, when asked whether he is willing to endorse rival Hillary Clinton in the coming weeks.

“We’ll be in L.A. tomorrow night and we’ll be taking a plane back to Burlington,” he added, when asked for further specifics on his schedule.

Bernie’s supporters are the young idealistic “true believers.” They are ready to storm the barricades in Philly for their saint. If he backs down now, and tells them to support Clinton, they will be as devastated. As much as they would be if the pretty girl down the hall played the “nice guy but” card on them (not that the pretty girl down the hall would ever have talked to them to begin with). But it’s the same effect; their first political crush will turn out to be just another rank politician like the rest of “the machine.”

I say they stay home in disgust.

Maybe now he can devote himself to saving that college that his wife pissed away with gross mismanagement..... Burlington College.

Sanders is realizing that the money is starting to dry up. He will suspend campaigning and save up as much campaign money he will get from this time forward. That money will be useful for a nice trip to Poland, the home of his father.

We kinda knew all along that he was going to endorse Hillary, didn’t we? Still, you’d think he would save this pronouncement until after the polls close in California tomorrow night . . .

They might vote libertarian. Another possibility is that a good number, who aren't politically invested, will vote for Trump. I just can't imagine that hillary will get overwhelming support from them. They want change.

Oh darn.

Either that, or he found the horse head in his bed.

“Assessment” is code for withdrawal from the race in defeat.
