2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: OK then. A Message to Hillary Supporters... [View all]Historic NY
(37,449 posts)107. He won't he's running away from Obama..........
that' s why he's not making any traction and won't . His numbers are dismal to say the least.
Bernie Sanders acknowledged on Saturday that he'd lose the Democratic primary to Hillary Rodham Clinton if the election were held now.
"We started way, way, way down," the Vermont senator told reporters while campaigning in North Charleston, South Carolina. "I think you're going to see us picking up a lot of steam here in South Carolina. ... I will not deny, if the election were held today, we would lose."

Glad to see he's finally accepting reality....
