As much as I support Bernie, I think he should suspend his campaign.

Having people to to polling places to vote when medical professionals recommend avoiding places with more than 10 people, as much as I treasure the democratic exercise of primary voting, seems like a bad idea.

It is likely that there will be more primary cancellations in the future. We don't need the Democratic nomination to be delayed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
