4. Tell me the last candidate who dropped out when they were near this point?

301 delegates behind with 1,668 delegates left and as the second highest. Having watched many races over the years, it is very clear that candidates - especially those who reach the top tier, put their heart and soul into winning and most of those trailing often hold onto their dreams long after they are no longer attainable.

I think the effort by top Democrats, who have any personal connection to Sanders, acknowledge that he was a strong candidate, though he is losing and appeal to him to run a positive campaign -- and fire anyone paid by him who refuses to do so. In fact, he will NOT win via a negative campaign, so this could even be said to be the best plan.

I think Biden, in many public comments, has tried to take the path of praising and not attacking Sanders.

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