I just watched Bernie Sanders prove that he is a mean-spirited stubborn old man. Instead of gracefully bowing out of the Democratic nomination in favor of front runner Joe Biden, he chose to continue his civil war against a clear majority of the Democratic Party. His stubbornness will not change the ultimate outcome of Joe Biden's nomination, but every day he stays in the race is one more day where he is helping Donald Trump. Instead of being a statesman he will end up being remembered as a sore loser.
The whole theory of his case has collapsed in front of him. To be sure he brought new voters into the process, but those new voters voted against him in size. He fails to understand that just like the 2018 congressional elections, suburban Mom's along with a very strong African-American vote is driving Biden's wins.
If I were Chuck Schumer, I would tell Bernie that if the Democrats retake the Senate he will not get a committee chairmanship. Simply put in the words of his hero Leon Trotsky, Bernie is about to enter the dustbin of history.*
