Yup. Methinks Sanders is still in the race because he expects Hillary will exit for reasons.

Much harder to beat, because he actually _believes_ his rhetoric. She’s just saying whatever to get elected ... and like a dog chasing a car, won’t have a clue what to do with the Presidency should she get it. He, however, will turn us into the Soviet Union Mk. 2.

Trump has said as much that Sanders has correctly identified many of the root issues we as a country face. The difference is Sanders has no clue how to actually solve them. A Sanders-Trump face off would be a magnificent opportunity to have actual policy debates on socialism vs. capitalism and why economic liberty and personal liberty are fundamentally inseparable. The ratings would be unprecedented and Americans would be both entertained and educated. And yes, Trump would win.

Alas for Sanders, there's little chance of that happening. It will either be Hillary vs. Trump or Biden vs. Trump (if Obama can figure a way to get rid of Hillary without allowing her to bring him down too in the process).

The DNC powers-that-be no more want Sanders being their flag bearer than the RNC powers wanted to see Trump in that role. The difference is that the RNC still has sufficient remnant of honor that they won't stoop to open fraud and mayhem to maintain their hold on power. The DNC is under no such constraints.

Bernie would EO/EM us all into bankruptcy. It’s why the GOP will do nothing on Hillary’s email issues, and quietly do plenty to help her.
