Why is Bernie Sanders still running for president?

Why is Bernie Sanders still running for president?       Chris Cillizza cnn

 " Sanders committed to remaining in the race despite trailing Biden by more than 300 pledged delegates and needs nearly 60% of remaining delegates to take the nomination from Biden

·         WHY?                    SHORT ANSWER IS BECAUSE HE CAN. 

§  The corona virus has frozen Democratic race.
§  Personal campaigning halted
§  He has plenty of funds to spend
§  He sees no personal advantage to get out
§  No imperative get out anytime soon.
§  He gets more media attention as a still-presidential candidate
§  Than former presidential candidate.
§  Presidential candidate platform irreplaceable
§  Does not care that staying in will hurt Biden for November

Chris Cillizza is more polite than CYCLOPS.

HRHC judges that DESPITE hindering the effort to remove Trumpfski;
Sanders refuses to bow out because

       HE IS A NARCISSISTIC, SELF SATISFIED, SANCTIMONIOUS, OLD FOOLAngry face with horns
      
   ED:  Come on Cyclops stop pulling your punchesLaughing

·         Long time devotees of Cyclops will recognize the consistency of this judgment

  • From the Clinton campaign and 
  • Before
  • He probably prefers to keep Trump in office
  • Gives him something to rage against
  • There by staying “relevant” and
  • More importantly on TV
  • Biden presidency is the end of Sanders political life
  • He understands that
  • Even if his supporters do notSee no evil

  • He revels in the role of Iconoclastic “Socialist”.
  • He is often compared in philosophy and sincerity to Jeremy Corbyn.
  • He is in fact much smarter, 
  • Less passive aggressive, more stubborn and 
  • Just as effective.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         They are equally genuine,reasonable and collaborative in private.                                                                                                                                                                                           
Sander’s  "philosophy" and rhetoric  is stuck in “nostalgic amber”

Most of his actual proposals are currently already policy of Merkel government

And indeed of Boris Johnson’s UK TORIES   

Not sure about Macron,HRHC French not good enough Speak no evil
·         
Those readers who think Cyclops over the top with TORY comparisonHear no evil

     Which of Sander’s proposals is more radical than Barmy Bonking Bojo’s?
  • Support for single payer Health Service?
  • Parental Leave?
  • Child Welfare Support?
  • Unemployment benefits?
  • Death Taxes?
  • Local Government Funding?
  • Corporate Taxation?
  • Progressivity of Income Tax?


                Oh yes,             BERNY  supports a Wealth Tax
                               
                Proposal very mild starts at     far too high a threshold       too low a rate

                                  He certainly |"despises" Billionaires
                                  Modest Millionaires not so much

  •    UK has a wealth tax on Bricks and Mortar 
  •    but not yet on
  •    Financial Assets, Artworks, Yachts, Porsches or Porcelain
                                                          
                                              Watch this space
  
ANYWAY a call to SANDERS SUPPORTERS:
                                  
                  He screams that the imperative is to Dump Trump

                                    Watch what he does
                                Not what he says
                                                       
                GET HIM OUT…. but not LOCK HIM UP
