Feinstein: ‘All but over’ for Sanders
By JON PRIOR 05/29/16 09:59 AM EDT

California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Sunday called on Bernie Sanders to consider suspending his campaign in an attempt to unify the party around front-runner Hillary Clinton.

“He ought to be able to read the signposts as well as anybody else, and if he did that, he would know that it's all but over,” Feinstein said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I know the passion of a campaign. I know when you're in it, and you just keep go, go, go until the last hour is there. Well, the last hour is close by.”

1. Hard to argue with her. If anything she's being generous.

2. all but over

[-none]

4. True.

All we need now is an indictment and she will have to drop out.

9. are you a berniebro

3. You go girl. Speak truth to ego.

5. At this point, there's no reason for Bernie to suspend his campaign.

The June 7 primaries are simply too near for that. It doesn't matter, really. The people will vote an their choices will be counted. Delegates will be allocated and the nominee will be clearly known.

He needn't withdraw. The reality will be real on June 8. Then, we'll see what Bernie Sanders decides to do. I suspect he will see the picture and suspend at that time, endorsing Hillary Clinton as he does. But, I could be wrong. He may decide to fight a strange battle up to the Convention. It won't help him, however, with the super delegates. Not a chance.

6. See you need to stop being reasonable.

You are sticking out like a sore thumb amongst her other supporters here.

He won't drop out before the convention, though. I don't know why people won't simply take him at his word! (He's not Hillary! )

7. Several times lately, he has referred to "until everyone has voted,"

instead of "until the convention." I listen closely to such things.

He'll be at the convention, of course. Odds are that he'll play the same role Clinton did in 2008, calling for nomination by acclamation. I will be very surprised if he does not. He's a career politician. He knows how it all works.

As for being reasonable, I try.

8. ...

10. This coming from someone who had to have an aide Google Hillary's accomplishments when asked.

11. Diane, heed well your words "the last hour is close by",

they may prove self fulfilling.

12. Bernie continues deeper into the Twilight Zone where he still has a chance to win. nt
