Bernie Sanders Drops Out Of Democratic Presidential Race
2020-04-08
[Daily Caller] Slow Joe the paste-eating moron is it
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dropped out of the presidential race Wednesday after a disappointing showing in numerous primaries and coronavirus concerns keeping him off of the campaign trail.

The news comes after Sanders continued to lose primaries to former Vice President Joe Biden. Among the losses was Michigan, a state he won in 2016. Biden also easily won Mississippi and Missouri and came up big during Super Tuesday.

The former vice president’s winning streak continued March 17 as he took all three primary wins in Florida, Illinois and Arizona. Ohio was supposed to be on the list, but was one of four states to postpone its primary over fears of the novel coronavirus.

Sanders’ campaign previously announced that he would be taking a second look at his campaign. He had vowed to stay in the race, although Sanders added that he would back Biden if the former VP became the nominee.

The novel coronavirus fear has kept candidates off the campaign trail as states and government officials are enforcing “social distancing” guidelines. Both candidates are in the age group where the novel coronavirus could seriously affect their health.

#7  If he's holding on to his delegates then Trump's odds of re-election have increased further.

Biden is screwed. He cannot simultaneously appease the Reagan Trump-leaning Democrats in PA WI and MI and appeal to the SJWs and identity politics crowd.

Gain one and he sacrifices the other: if he picks Andrew Cuomo as VP, a large number of SJWs will stay home. If he picks someone like Harris or Warren then he repels the Trump Democrats.

I'd bet he takes the Geraldine Ferraro option: a suitably PC female nobody who offends no one and excites no one. Someone like the idiot governor of Michigan.

Bad times for Dems. Trump's odds keep rising, and they don't even see it.
