Nobody is talking about Bernie anymore

As the primaries approach that will put the final nail in Bernie's campaign coffin he has dropped out of sight everywhere except here on DU. He is obviously not spending much cash to run TV ads. I had a little involuntary vacation from DU recently and I was surprised that on most of the liberal sites I frequented there are very few Bernie supporters anymore. More like the real world

He has less than $6 million in the bank. In election dollars, it might as well be $6.00. He's done, and about time.

cuz Bernie's credit is no good anymore. And who is going to help pay off his campaign debts if he keeps shitting on the Democratic party?

If it happens, and it may be darn good for a laugh, I know a college in Burlington, Vermont that could use the dough.

Trump's campaign said the call for a Trump/Sanders debate was "a joke." Bernie took him seriously. Desperate, much?

But he's proven to be quite the megalomaniac so it's no telling what could actually wind up happening.

Last I heard, Trump was asking for $10 million to debate Bernie. Like I said, there's a college in Vermont that could certainly use that dough.
