****. I thought Hillary Clinton had dropped out of this race.

You know what...

why would she drop the race she allready pretty much won?

Yes, he should, and he should bow out gracefully since he already lost three months ago. He won't though.

The cutoff.

Stopped reading here. The largest lead Obama EVER had on Hillary in 2008 was about 100 pledged delegates. Hillary's lead is immensely larger, so I don't see how you saying Hillary's lead is "only approximately 300-something" delegates does anything other than exaggerate how much of a desperate attempt it is for Bernie to stay in the race at this point.

Enter 25 more cents and try again.

Her polling has trended downward since her campaign began, while Bernie's (and unfortunately Donald's) only increases with time. If she's the general election nominee, she won't be able to defeat Donald as +40% of voters are Independent and they really refuse to vote for an establishment candidate this time around.

The FBI investigation is also quite serious and it would be folly to nominate her with this going on, especially if they recommend indictment. The security breach she presented was vastly worse than what Snowden did (and even then he did it in public interest). There has never and can never be a general election nominee with an FBI indictment looming overhead.

I say this as a former Clinton supporter, and obviously I would absolutely love a woman to be POTUS. It's overdue. It's just not Hillary.

That's a lie
