(10,593 posts)1. The Democratic party would be continuing to spend money on the primary instead of banking it for the general election. That's pure waste on Bernie's long shot/ego. It should be focusing on fundraising for the general starting now.
2. The party needs to come together. The sooner it does, the better - less acrimony. Dragging this out for no useful purpose will incense and deepen the divide between the two camps and hurt the party more for the general election.
3. The party has to staff up for the general. Try to consolidate ground games, etc. The sooner that happens, the better organized and staffed they will be for the general election.
4. The party has to plan, document it's policies, and organize how it is going to win the general and assist the down ballot contests. Extending the primary delays that.
5. For the balance of the primary, Bernie is going to be taking shots at our prospective nominee - doing Donald Trump favors. Instead, the focus could shift now to starting to grind down Trump
Bernie has less than one tenth of one percent chance of winning ... before yesterday's results. His chances are worse today. We know what Bernie's policies are. We've been listening to them for 5-6 years if not his whole career. What good does Bernie continuing the primary do for the party or the prospective nominee? Not much I can think of.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
