Attention Hillary supporters: make up your minds!

[democrattotheend]

For the last several weeks, some (though by no means all) of you have posted thread after thread calling for Bernie to quit. Yet many of the same people who have been calling for him to drop out are now criticizing him for laying off staff. You do realize that if he drops out he will have to lay off all of his campaign staff, right?

That said, if you are concerned about the people who are being laid off, by all means, feel free to chip in and help him keep more of them. https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/lets-go-bernie?refcode=homepage_main_nav

1. Laughing isnt criticism.

[AuntPatsy]

2. Your laughing about people losing jobs?

4. His attitude explains why he has 9 hides on his transparency page.

6. I can see that now, I'll quietly go back into reading mode, I'm not good at conflict...

[Lucinda]

19. They are temp jobs. The campaigns only run for a few months if their candidate isn't the nominee.

Pretty sure they know that when they sign on...

[Blanks]

3. If he was serious about forwarding his agenda...

He could have been putting all of those resources into winning down ticket races. Instead he used all of his resources tearing down the front runner.

5. How much help did HRC give Donna Edwards? n/t

[Jitter65]

14. Huh!! Diversion much? nt

[dragonfly301]

20. I'll take that to mean no help for the AA woman running for Mikulski's seat

special place in hell...

7. Sanders' campaign's corporate financial pragmatism and disregard for staff is duly noted.

Not to mention, he paid so many only $10/hr.

[Matt_in_STL]

8. He paid his interns when no other campaign did

And you'll put him on blast for not paying them more than $10? You really are just a parody of a Clinton supporter, right? You can't possibly be real.

22. +1 eom

9. I don't think Bernie needs to drop out. I don't see a problem with him staying in through

Washington DC on June 14.

My main concern is over whether he will stay in after the voting is over and take the fight all the way to the convention, after Hillary is the presumptive nominee.

I would like for Bernie to support her campaign, if she wins the nomination, like the way Hillary supported Barack Obama's candidacy.

[democrattotheend]

18. I doubt he will

At least, he won't actively campaign for the nomination after people are done voting. But he will probably not release his delegates until the convention (if at all) so that he is in a strong position to be nominated if for some reason Hillary becomes completely unelectable or otherwise unable to serve (and no, I am not hoping for this).

10. Best to just ignore them

They have nothing better to do than rag on Bernie.

[StevieM]

16. Wow, this is so cool. I hit "post my reply!" and when the page refreshed there was a post

underneath mine. In all my years posting on DU that had never happened before.

Apparently we posted at the exact same time so your post came on line at the same moment that mine did. But because one of us had to be above the other, and there was a 50/50 chance as to which one of us it would be, I got to see post right below me just as my own post was appearing on the page.

OK, maybe it isn't that cool. But I enjoyed the experience.

[Kalidurga]

11. I would expect that as the campaign goes on and they are in fewer states

that some staff members would be let go. Hillary probably has done the same thing without anyone saying anything about it.

[Demsrule86]

12. He should quit

One has nothing to do with the other.

[NCTraveler]

13. I'm good with him in.

He is intelligent enough to hammer his message down the home stretch while helping to broaden the party. Give it a bit of time. Won't happen overnight.

[nolawarlock]

15. I don't care if he quits ...

At this point, he's so far behind that Hillary can just go on with the general election as though he isn't even there.

As for the layoffs, what difference does it make? It's not like his interns are making a living wage anyway.

[NurseJackie]

17. No complaints from me. I assume they all knew in advance that it was a "seasonal" job ...

... with no guarantees for a certain amount of time. (It'll make a nice line-item on their C.V.)

[JoePhilly]

21. He'd keep them right where they are if he thought he had any chance of winning.

He'd need them to be preparing for the General Election.

He knows he does not need them for that.
