Bernie Sanders Calls For Wisconsin To Delay Upcoming Primary Due To Coronavirus

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday urged election officials in Wisconsin to postpone the state’s Democratic primary out of concern for the spread of coronavirus.

“People should not be forced to put their lives on the line to vote, which is why 15 states are now following the advice of public health experts and delaying their elections,” Sanders said in a statement. “We urge Wisconsin to join them.”

The state’s primary is scheduled to take place next Tuesday.

Sanders, who is vying with former Vice President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, said Wisconsin should push back its primary voting day, extend early voting and move entirely toward a vote-by-mail process.

4. Ah the ironic. Sanders has lost and we would not have this issue if he would leave race like people

with character have already done. Sanders is the cause and the problem here. Shame on him.

5. There is no path for BS so he should drop out

.. if he's concerned about the Voters. He didn't want the Florida Vote to be when they were scheduled, either.

6. His Desire Is Understandable, Sir

He wishes to avoid a fresh round of 'Sanders Buried By Landslide' headlines. It is worth noting this call for postponement was made on the heels of fresh polling which a great gap opening in the state (which Sanders carried in the 2016 primary) in favor of Mr. Biden.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
