On Wednesday, Bernie Sanders held a speech to address his poor performance in Tuesday’s primary contests, where he told the Democratic establishment that it cannot win without his supporters and that he still intends to face off against Joe Biden in Sunday’s debate.
While many observers thought Sanders might be announcing that he was dropping out of the race, his speech in Burlington, Vermont was anything but.
“Last night obviously was not a good night for our campaign from a delegate point of view,” Sanders said, admitting he lost in votes but that his campaign was winning the “generational debate.”
Sanders conceded that Biden does well with older voters, but younger Americans “continue… to support our campaign.”
Then Bernie issued a warning to the Democratic establishment.
“Today I say to the Democratic establishment, in order to win in the future, you need to win the voters who represent the future of our country, and you must speak to the issues of concern to them,” he said.
“You cannot simply be satisfied by winning the votes of people who are older,” Sanders stressed.
“While our campaign has won the ideological debate, we are losing the debate over electability,” Sanders continued, adding that he “very much” looks forward to debating his “friend” Biden on Sunday.
Sanders said he still disagrees “strongly” with the idea that Biden is more electable than he is. Bernie also laid out questions he intended to pose to Biden and proceeded by listing out the questions he plans to ask to Biden at the CNN debate, including medical debt, health care, student debt, mass incarceration, childhood poverty, and billionaire influence in elections.

“On Sunday night, in the first one-on-one debate in this campaign, the American people will have the opportunity to see which candidate is best positioned” to defeat Trump, Sanders said.

The younger voter is all in on the "free" thinking. Never realizing or not caring how it has to be paid for. As long as what they want is free, they are happy.

You "do well with younger voters" because being a product of the left-controlled education / indoctrination process.. they have NO idea what it really meant to live under a Karl Marx or Josef Stalin or Mao or Castro..
Ol B.S. the grifting snake-oil salesman has sold his bottles of tonic to his empty headed young followers that he is the only one who will save them. After he informs them they have been marginalized by successful people and business owners he promises to tax and penalize those people for being prosperous and give their hard earned money to the minions as free healthcare, college tuition, higher minimum wages and anything else they want so they wont have to earn or work for it.

Electable or not, they still attract almost 50% of the population. Promise enough people free stuff, don't tell them the truth about the consequences, those people will give anyone, including Alzheimer's Joe, their vote. Used to be politicians just bought votes with hooch.
sANDESwill stay in till the ene or Biden buys him out like Clinton did. Why would Sanders and his wife get out now when they have the brain dead making donations every month. Wait till the end when Biden will pay more for Sanders voters

He'll get out after he gets another $600,000 cottage at the ocean. What a scam he is. I will bet that within a week he'll pull out only after he's taken care of.
