It appears unlikely.

Sanders should stay in. He's still not mathematically eliminated and may not ever be. He serves to push the left narrative, something the party needs and keeps the race relevant. If next Tuesday goes just as poorly as this one then he should probably tone down the attacks knowing the writing is on the wall and I'd wager he does that.

Also, knowing how bad some of the legislation in the Clinton era was and is for black americans and Hillary's championing that legislation, can someone tell me why blacks vote for her in such huge numbers? This is a serious question. Is Bernie just too old, white, and rural?

The first criminal charges stemming from the Flint, Mich., water crisis were filed on Wednesday, as two state officials and a city employee were accused of covering up evidence of lead contamination.

Two officials at the state Department of Environmental Quality were charged with misleading the federal Environmental Protection Agency about whether Flint was using the treatment needed to control lead levels after the city switched its water supply in 2014.

The officials Michael Prysby, a district engineer, and Stephen Busch, a district supervisor, were also accused of impeding a Genesee County investigation. And Michael Glasglow, the city’s utilities administrator, was charged with tampering with test results to make the lead contamination appear less severe.

The charges were brought by the state attorney general, Bill Schuette, and authorized by Judge Tracy Collier-Nix of Genesee District Court.

One person called the bill "both smart and tough" while the other spoke passionately against it multiple times while also vigorously supporting the Violence Against Women Act, which is the reason he ended up voting for the crime bill. But I guess they had pretty much the same point of view.

This is generally not how delegates work though. You don't get to pick your own very often.

You've certainly been consistent on this, but Kasich was convincingly the #notTrump winner in NY, and has a chance to be the #notTrump winner in each of the April 26 primaries. If this happens are you still hoping he'll go away, or would you rather his campaign gains strength nationally?

Sanders is approaching John Kasich-level pigheadedness by continuing in a fight that he simply cannot win (unless something catastrophic were to befall the Clinton campaign, i.e. an indictment or similar). There is absolutely no way that Sanders is going to convince the supers to abandon Clinton after her performances.

Sanders should be extremely proud of what he accomplished over these past months but it is time to do the right thing for the country. God forbid Donald Trump gets any closer to the Oval Office than the guided tour.
