According to a recent poll from The Guardian, six of the Vermonter’s voters will go for Clinton for every one that might vote for Trump. Sanders’s supporters also may not be the bargaining chip he once imagined. Senator Elizabeth Warren and President Barack Obama quickly endorsed Clinton, too, when it became sufficiently clear that Sanders was toast. Jeff Merkley, Sanders’s lone supporter in the Senate, flipped his allegiance to Clinton last week.

(Clinton, on the other hand, has 2,219 pledged delegates alone.)īut while Clinton may make the pro forma nods to his candidacy by changing her platform or emphasizing her more progressive bona fides, many of Sanders’s top supporters aren’t waiting for his signal to move on. After Tuesday’s primary in D.C., where Clinton won almost 80 percent of the vote, Sanders would have to convince over 502 of those delegates to switch sides in order to win the nomination. He first insisted that the super-delegate system was rigged against him, allowing Clinton to accumulate enough support to clinch the nomination, but as Clinton’s lead widened, he then switched gears and argued that he could sway enough of Clinton’s 581 super-delegates to support him come July in Philadelphia. The rationale for Sanders remaining in the race has shifted regularly. That’s what the political revolution is about and that’s why the political revolution must continue into the future.” That’s what this campaign has been about over the past year. “They continue every day, every week, and every month in the fight to create a nation and world of social and economic justice. But political and social revolutions that attempt to transform our society never end,” the Vermont senator told his supporters in a live video message. Despite the terrifying prospect of a Trump presidency, he vowed again on Thursday night that he would bring his Future You Can Believe In to the convention and beyond. Yet Sanders is still fighting on, quickly burning his once substantial political capital, as the Democratic Party turns its attention to Donald Trump, a raving lunatic. The primary results are in, and the splenetic revolutionary was soundly defeated by Hillary Clinton.
Everyone seems to know the Democratic race is over, except Bernie Sanders.
