If Bernie were a female

1) There would be screams and pleas for him to drop out because he can't overcome Hillary's delegate lead, and he must do what is best for the party. But it appears that only applies to female candidates running for President of the Untied States (ie 2008).

2) He wouldn't be seen as or commented upon as a principled man. He would be called a power hungry b*tch. And no I am not calling Hillary a b*tch so save yourself a key stroke or two with the smashing of the alert button. I am commenting on a sexist double standard.
