Keeping my Pledge: Losing Michigan, Sanders should drop Out. [View all]

Last week, I stated that who ever lost the Michigan Primary should drop out since winning the industrial Mid-West was vital to defeating Trump.

It is clear tonight that Joe Biden will win Michigan and hence is our best bet to win back those Blue Wall states that Trump grabbed in 2016. This is a key step to victory in the General Election.

I pledged last week that I would support the winner of Michigan going forward and ask the loser to drop out of the primary race.

So, it's time for Bernie Sanders to drop out of the race and allow the party to coalesce behind our future nominee, Joe Biden, as soon as possible.

Congratulations to all the long time Biden supporters.

Along with you, I am wishing Joe the best and will be looking forward to him being our next President.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I hope Biden finds a role for him, but doubtful it'll be VP TDale313 Mar 2020 #12

I don't think it would be the VP spot on the ticket, two NE old white guys... MerryBlooms Mar 2020 #14

Only 2 problems here Lordyamika Mar 2020 #25

Sanders would never accept the VP position. He has far more power in the Senate. ehrnst Mar 2020 #29
