| Sanders finally exits the race. |
At 11:45pm, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will do a livestream announcing he is suspending his campaign for the Democratic nomination. After numerous weeks of speculation and relentless attacks from his online trolls, Sanders has finally assessed his campaign.
In his livestream he said that "Together, standing united, we will go forward to defeat Donald Trump."
Trump begins trolling yet again.
Can’t see AOC plus 3 supporting Sleepy Joe!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2020
Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2020
Wow, Bernie is unwilling to give up his delegates, and wants more of them! What’s that all about?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2020
The Wisconsin primary went forth on Tuesday despite pleas from Gov. Tony Evers to postpone the primaries. The primaries went on and it was expected that Sanders was going to lose to rival Joe Biden.
Finally with Sanders out the way, the Democrats can finally unite around Biden and hopefully have enough power to stop Donald J. Trump in the general election.
Sanders started off a strong bid (in a crowded field). He failed at building a coalition with rivals.
He narrowly missed first place in Iowa. It went to Pete Buttigieg, former South Bend mayor.
His campaign was raking in millions in small-dollar donations and packed rallies full of supporters as he grew in the campaign. Yet, his crowd sizes, his campaign cash and the message didn't turn out votes in the primary.
Today I am suspending my campaign. But while the campaign ends, the struggle for justice continues on. https://t.co/MYc7kt2b16— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 8, 2020
Biden beaten Sanders in a majority of the biggest states eliminating Sanders chances at becoming the nominee.
Hillary Clinton, the 2016 presidential candidate blames Sanders for ruining her election by staying in the race longer than expected. His tepid endorsement and lackluster help hurt Clinton. Trump used every opportunity to paint Clinton and the Democratic National Committee as corrupt because of the delegates and superdelegates.
Sanders was a populist candidate much like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). He was promoting progressive policies like Medicare for All, free college tuition, ending corporate bailouts, taxing billionaires, and paying off student debt.
Sanders and Warren became biter rivals after the "Bernie Bros" got involved. Matter of fact, Sanders' popularity went down due to the Bernie Bros.
Sanders failed to win over women voters. Sanders faced accusations of sexism and dirty tricks. The claims were refuted by Sanders. However, the campaign did not control the smear campaigns being launched online by his "loyal" base of supporters.
Shaun King, Michael Moore, Ryan Knight, Susan Sarandon, Glenn Greenwald, Krystal Ball, Briahna Joy Gray, Kyle Kulinski, Ryan Grim, Katie Halper, Jimmy Dore, Thom Hartmann, Cornel West, Killer Mike, Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks and the online trolls have really damaged his brand.
These insufferable trolls have deliberately turned off voters. The online whisper campaigns against Biden have begun thanks to these trolls.
Warren also faced the allegations from trolls. That's why she refused to endorse Sanders in the lead up to the Michigan, Florida and Arizona primaries.
Sen. Kanala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg, Beto O'Rourke, Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer have long complained about the online behavior of Sanders' supporters.
Sanders knew the path was narrow when his campaign manager Faiz Shakir and political strategist Jeff Weaver have called upon Sanders to suspend his campaign.
Sanders leaving the race clear a path for Biden to be the nominee.
Trump and Republicans vow to reopen Ukraine, the sexual abuse allegations and use Sanders as a wedge issue.
