When will Ted Cruz give up his candidacy?

I may get some flak for this, but I have to admit, Cruz showed guts and class calmly facing down the protestor and forcing him to answers basic questions about Trump. Not that I would in a millions years consider voting for Cruz, scares me to death he is so right wing, just saying.

I submit that if Bernie continues pressing on past California, he could very accurately be depicted at the same ship's bow.

There's no way he does that snood. I know he's saying he will, but that has to be just to get his supporters to come out and vote for him (not to mention donate money) over the next month. A candidate who is seriously looking to win the nomination wouldn't be firing staff. In contrast, Clinton has been increasing staff in preparation for the general election.

I think maporsche is right. Personally, I am thinking mulling over sending Bernie $30. Partly because I like much of what emphasizes about workers' rights, (whatever happened to them), and the too-high percentage of the money going to the top 1%. And partly because I want the small donation model of financing to become the norm, and Bernie's success in financing by this method is a good thing, even if I want Hillary to win because I feel she's a stronger general election choice.

Snood, why do you think 45%+ of the vote should be ignored when the planks are added to the platform in Philadelphia, particularly when Hillary still backs opinions you don't? He's made her backtrack and change some of her stands up to now and she'll change a few more by the Convention.

Clinton’s own history may prevent her from calling for Sanders to drop out of the race. But she can point to her own ultimate embrace of Obama if Sanders continues on the attack.

After the May primaries of Kentucky and West Virginia, 2008 veterans recalled, Clinton tried to pivot away from a contrast with Obama and focus more on a positive message.
